[Suggestion]A built-in Variable for version info

[death.crafter]

Some of the features are version specific as in added in a later version. When implementing those features it is possible that people are on an older version of Rainmeter, e.g. 4.3. Idk why 4.3 is still final but anyway. For example DefaultWindowX and Y. If we can check the version info it would be easier to implement workarounds accordingly.

I can get the version info from Rainmeter.exe using powershell but it surely wouldn't work for portable versions. So a little addition won't hurt I guess.

Thanks,

(get-process -name rainmeter | select-object FileVersion).FileVersion

(get-process -name rainmeter | select-object FileVersion).FileVersion

Hmm... This is a better way than my current one where I retrieved the version info from Rainmeter.exe. But about a variable, is it not possible?

I imagine it is quite possible. We will look into it.

You can find out quite a lot of info about the Rainmeter process with:

get-process -name rainmeter | select-object *
