SUMMARY
In the KDE Discuss forum a few members, me included, have indicated that, a "nice to have" would be that KInfoCenter and "kinfo" also display the installed KDE Gear version.

I would like to see this added as well
Comment 2 Antonio Rojas 2026-01-20 12:41:18 UTC
There is no concept of "the installed KDE Gear version". KDE Gear applications are independent applications whose installed versions don't have to coincide.

The applications report *their* version number, not the "KDE Gear" version number
