[Solved] VLC media player​​ (Portable)

[OLLI_S]

VLC media player​​ Portable (from PortableApps.com)​ is found on my system in the following folder:​

• D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\VLCPortable\App\vlc\vlc.exe

Errors:

• The installed version is not detected (the text ? is shown)​
• For VLC media player no app-icon is shown

Notes:

• In the Windows 10 Settings the portable application VLC media player​​ is not listed in the list of installed applications.​

Cool, now I see the app icon and also the installed version 3,0,2,0 is detected correctly.
But in the version number all , should be replaced by .
So the version should be 3.0.2.0

But the update to the current version 3.0.3.0 is not shown.

@olli_s Yes, I know, there is a limitation in how we use the version info from the products. I also prefer the "." over "," and we will find a good way to solve this going forward, but showing "," is a workaround for now.

[OLLI_S]

No problem, I just leave this topic OPENED

[Tom]

@olli_s Or perhaps make another post with a more generic request for better consistency in displaying version numbers

[OLLI_S]

@tom You mean App-Detection: VLC media player​​ (Portable) - Version Number ?

[OLLI_S]

I added the following topic VLC media player​​ (Portable) - Version 3.0.3.0 available
So this issue here is solved.

[Tom]

@olli_s Yes, that is correct. I just updated the rule, but I don't think it displays correctly, I've created an internal ticket on this.

[Tom]

@olli_s No, a generic one, because I found two other apps that have the same issue today.

[OLLI_S]

Are you talking about the missing update or the version number display issue?

[Tom]

@olli_s Version display

[OLLI_S]

I added the new topic VLC media player - Display Version Number correctly
So we don't loose focus on this and we can mark this topic as "Solved"
