Created attachment 144859 [details] digikam.exe properties, details tab SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** The meta data for digikam.exe is largely missing. See the attached image. Descriptions and versions are particularly missing. The software update monitor app I use relies on this meta data being there. I assume other such apps are expecting this data to be there. On top of that, it’s seemingly the norm for this data to be filled in. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Find digikam.exe on your Windows computer under c:\Program Files\digiKam. 2. Right-click the digikam.exe file and select Properties. 3. Select the Details tab, where you'll see meta data is largely missing. OBSERVED RESULT Meta data is largely missing. EXPECTED RESULT Meta data is filled in. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 21H2 Build 19044.1415 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A solution based on Cmake is given in this thread : https://forum.qt.io/topic/122430/setting-up-the-application-information-in-cmake
This is how Krita populate the binary metadata under Windows with this rc file : https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/blob/master/krita/versioninfo.rc.in And how CMake use this resource file under Windows : https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/blob/master/krita/CMakeLists.txt#L156 Gilles Caulier
