The Qt version is related to compile information so I think it makes sense to put it there. It's also helpful for bug reports. At least for people comfortable with the command line, it is easier to do <<lyx --version>> than to do the steps for the GUI. A couple of data points on other programs that give information on dependency versions: $ copyq --version CopyQ Clipboard Manager v3.9.3 Qt: 5.12.4 Compiler: GCC Arch: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 OS: Ubuntu 19.10 $ My MUA, NeoMutt does not depend on Qt, but it does include information e.g., ncurses: $ mutt -v NeoMutt 20191207-76-0b9198 Copyright (C) 1996-2016 Michael R. Elkins and others. NeoMutt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'neomutt -vv'. NeoMutt is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'neomutt -vv' for details. System: Linux 5.3.0-42-generic (x86_64) ncurses: ncurses 6.1.20190803 (compiled with 6.1.20190803) libidn: 1.33 (compiled with 1.33) libnotmuch: 5.2.0 hcache backends: tokyocabinet Configure options: --ssl --sasl --enable-notmuch --enable-debug --tokyocabinet --prefix=/usr/local Compilation CFLAGS: -g -O2 -std=c99 -D_ALL_SOURCE=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D__EXTENSIONS__ -I/usr/local/include -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR ... $ Not all programs give such detailed information (e.g., Firefox). But from what I see, when a program does list information on compilation, it is common to give the versions of the important libraries it depends on. That said, I don't have too strong of an opinion on this, so feel free to skip. Scott
