Copyright attribute in the exe properties

[Jean-pierre Leroy]

Hi Paul,

I just notice that the "Copyright" attribute is always empty when I look at the top of the "Version" tab, of my FF3 executable file properties; the "Copyright" information are available below only in the section "Other version information" but not at the top of the form with the other main information (Version, Description and Copyright); is-it intentional ?

I have uploaded other examples of exe properties from Pbedit.exe and SQLiteExpertPro.

It's not a big issue, I just wanted to let you know; I don't know what is the best practices regarding this "Copyright" Info.

FF3 is spelling LegalCopyright wrong in the RC file.  Change LegalCopyRight to LegalCopyright, compile the RC then compile main and it shows.  At least it is an easy fix.  Sounds like after the holidays he has this, the Theme change issue from another thread and Tab orders.

Thank you Roger for these information ... sound like an easy fix.

Could be issues with spaces in names too like FF3 uses "Internal Name" instead of InternalName.  Might be good for Paul to look at official docs and see how they are supposed to be formatted to save time in the future.  May not seem like much, but it could make a difference.  I believe InternalName and/or OriginalFilename is used by Windows itself when you block an application from running so people can't just rename an exe and still run it.

Edit:
Looks like official docs show:
Comments
CompanyName
FileDescription
FileVersion
InternalName
LegalCopyright
LegalTrademarks
OriginalFilename
PrivateBuild
ProductName
ProductVersion
SpecialBuild

These changes have been made (Roger, thanks for the MSDN link).

Fix will be in v3.06.
