Display file version in the pending changes view
What do you think about adding an extra column to the pending changes view, to display file version? When we merge a branch into the main one, we always start the check-in comment with the exe/dll file version. We do that to be able to find historic revisions of our projects based on file version.
And if it isn't too time consuming to implement, such column would also be useful in the file history view.

I have recently written i tiny tool that copies file version to clipboard. I added it to custom open tools in PlasticSCM preferences. That satisfies our needs, so my suggestion above is currently of little importance.

Exactly.

Do you mean the Windows file extended attribute saving the "file version"??

@JakubH Thanks for the info. I upvoted your post.

...or at least a tooltip over binary files to display file details with version included?

That might be possible if Codice implemented the following suggestion:

Then you could store a file version into an attribute and setup a column with this attribute. (The attribute may be set automatically according to a checkin comment using a checkin trigger).
