Fetch Version number from outside the plugin

[DanH]

I use a standalone app to download and install expansions. My latest expansion requires an update to the main plugin. Can anyone think of a way to fetch the version number of the plugin so I can display a note for the user to update? I don't think the version is stored anywhere outside of the plugin itself.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this isn't possible, at least not in a reliable way. What i do is write the version to a text file in appdata during the install, could also be done on first run.

@d-healey yup, sadly that ship has sailed for me Will add it in for the future

@d-healey Oh actually perhaps I can check if the text file exists and if it doesn't then the app knows it's not the latest version... (I'm about to issue the required plugin update)
