Command line -v(ersion) option

Post by guyr »

Thanks for such a useful tool. I'm an old command-line guy, so I interact with Everything using only the command line. Tonight, upon booting, Everything informed me a new version was available. So, I tried to discover which version I was running. I don't see from the help that the command line tool has a -v or -version option. I do see that the command line version number is printed out on the first line of the help. But that is followed by many lines of other help text, so I have to scroll back to see the version.

I'd like to suggest a simple -v(ersion) option that prints out the version of the command line tool AND the version of the Everything instance it is connecting to. For example:

C:\>es -v
ES 1.1.0.8
Everything 1.4.1.877 (x64)

Thanks!

Added to my TODO list: add a version command to ES to show the current Everything version.

Thank you for your suggestion.
