Q1: How often do you go into the About dialog? A: Certainly never for normal day-to-day programming tasks. The About dialog in simply just for show in most cases, so lets give it something useful to do. Q2: Why do you go into the About dialog? A: To admire you name in the Contributors list. :-) 99% of the time it is to see what version (and revision) of the IDE you have. And when do you normally use that information? Probably quoting it in the mailing list of Mantis bug reports. It's really handy having that information copied to the clipboard. > Asking the second time while the first time there was an objection about > exact this reason is not polite. At the time I forgot I asked before - I was in a rush on Friday afternoon. My apologies. Anyway, I didn't submit a patch. As the title says, it's a "proposed" change. Mattias obviously thought it was handy as well and applied it. Developer tools are all about trying to be more efficient.
