Created attachment 102177 [details] Comparison of about pages in GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Shotcut, Kdenlive, Audacity Kdenlive is a very alive and changing project, knowing the version is very useful when reading/filing bug versions and when following tutorials. Once a user showed me the default about page, asking to compare versions, not realizing one had to change tabs to display the version. I think Kdenlive might be the only software that doesn't show its version on its "about" page without additional steps required. I suggest that the version is included in the "Kdenlive" title of the about window, so it is visible on all about pages. I suggest considering adding the version to the status bar, as Blender does it. Just by adding " v16.08.2" to the end of the status bar behind any other text that might be displayed.
I had requested something like this as well before.
