In fact, if I open a command window I get "Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]" which makes sense and agrees with the MSDN page. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/More-information-in-About-dialog-tp4177879p4177907.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

I hadn't noticed that in the x64 version. Then it is useless indeed. I'm surprised that Windows 8.1 is 6.29 My Windows 10 Home is 6.19... I would expect Windows 10 to have a higher number than 8.1 but then again Windows version numbers never made much sense :) Thanks!

The only issue we do not know is whether your OS (Windows XP in this case) is 32-bit or 64-bit. Obviously you would not be running the 64-bit build on a 32-bit OS. And, when the 64-bit build of LibreOffice is installed, it is already labeled (x64), as in this example: Version: 5.1.1.2 (x64) Build ID: fe4d9e69c82c6ee6db3c27cd5e2d47558afa80ac CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.29; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US) In this case installed on a Windows 8.1 64-bit en-US Stuart -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/More-information-in-About-dialog-tp4177879p4177880.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
[Libreoffice-qa] More information in About dialog
Hi all The most frequent questions from people providing help in the User mailing list and in the Bug tracker is: "What is your OS architecture?", "Are you using the 32 bit version of LibreOffice ?" Isn't it possible that this information is included in the About dialog? In addition to Version: 5.1.1.3 Build ID: 89f508ef3ecebd2cfb8e1def0f0ba9a803b88a6d CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Windows 5.1; UI Render: default; Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT) something like Version: 5.1.1.3 *(x86 = 32bit)* Build ID: 89f508ef3ecebd2cfb8e1def0f0ba9a803b88a6d CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Windows 5.1 *(x64 =64bit)*; UI Render: default; Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT) Of course supporting users would still have to ask the user to copy and paste the info from the About dialog, but it would save the time to ask (and/or explain) the OS architecture and the LibreOffice architecture (most new Windows machines have an x64 OS but you can't assume that LibreOffice is also...) Should I create an enhancement request on this? Is it useful? Will someone care?
