SUMMARY

The Help dialog doesn't display KDE version information.  This makes activities such as software management and bug reporting difficult.  I would include the version of KDE that I am using, but that information is not where it is **supposed to be**. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Require version information
2.  Open Help->About KDE
3.  Look for version of KDE

OBSERVED RESULT

It's not there.

EXPECTED RESULT

The version of software in used is supposed to be available in Help->About
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Antonio Rojas 2025-11-18 10:10:04 UTC 
KDE is a community, it doesn't have a version. If you want to see the version of the Qt and KDE libraries that an application is using, they are in the About (application) -> components tab. If you want the Plasma version, it is in kinfocenter.
