How do I know what Plugins version I'm using?

[Open2uandu]

Where do I find the Plugins version number? I know you can go to Help-Installed Plugins, but that gives you the version number for each individual plugin. I want the version number for the whole installed .exe package.

Download the plugins fro IrfanView 4.32 from http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm — the filename is irfanview_plugins_432_setup.exe

Thank you, but my point is that there is no way for me to find out what version of the plugins I currently have. How do I find out?

On IrfanView PlugIns site you will find always the current PlugIn version!

see:


That means, if (like now) the current IrfanView program version is 4.32 then the current "ALL PlugIns" version is also 4.32!

Hi,

I think it is not possible to see the installed package version. You may just guess like Frank described.

It is possible (but not recommended) to install a IrfanView 4.28 with the IrfanvIew Plugins 4.28, some times later update to IrfanView version 4.32 and update only the plugin package iv_formats to 4.32.
The best solution is to always use the same versions for all, so I recommend to install IrfanView and the complete plugin package (irfanview_plugins_xxx.zip / irfanview_plugins_xxx.exe) which belongs to IV.

Also sometimes DLLs won't be used in newer versions they reain after an update. It is also possible to uninstall IrfanView, check if the program folder exists and remove it manually and the install IV and the plugins. On Windows Vista or newer OS the i_view32.ini just contains a link to a user version of the ini, so it is usually safe to just delete the irfanview program files folder, if it remains after an uninstallation.

Thank you, Frank! This last line is very helpful!
