Hello team,

I would like to know your opinion about moving the version number from the bundle name to the dmg volume name.

This would have the following advantages:

* easier update: I would expect most user to have only a single version of OOo installed in the Applications directory. If we change the bunde name to be just "OpenOffice.org", the user will be asked whether the old version shall be overwritten or the new version shall be renamed.

* constancy: the only version numbers I have seen from other products were on folders containing several application bundles, but none on a bundle itself

* laziness: the DS_Store file containing the folder properties (icons, background image) doesn't need to get updated for every release

What do you think ?

+1

Can the Info.plist also have the version number and build number in it, to make it easier to get? If it can contain the milestone too for development builds, that would be builliant.
