[Github-comments] [geany/geany] [Plugin manager] Small improvement? (#2142)

> So plugin developers could theoretically add the PACKAGE_STRING to the version.

@LarsGit223 Thats up to the plugin developers, and given some plugins are unmaintained its unlikely that it will be kept up to date, so it becomes another maintenance chore for the releasers.

> All this said, if it's really to make sure the expected build that is used, better look at the filename for the plugin library that is displayed in the tooltip when hovering.

@b4n That tells you the SO filename and location, but how does it tell you the version?
