You're welcome.

Yes it is. They don't have to remove the version numbers from existing strings of older versions - by default TC would just basically show "Version: unknown". But that's just a little technical question, it could be easily fixed by a simple regex checking of the [plugininstall] "description" field for version number
(vx.x* or x.x*) - TC could remove it from the appropriate description on-the-fly
(replace with "" blank field), and display it next to the Version, in case no additional version line exists in the inf file. Nothing needs to be modified in previous plugin packages.
BTW, any number of version strings may be replaced at once via search and replace function.
You don't say so... ?
Thats my whole point, not to replace 5 - 8 - 30 - 6800
(~number of spoken lngs in the world) lines of code (its redundanct information & the pluginst.inf file is also bigger for nothing), besides this it would be nice to have a simple version field, that would remind developers to always fill out & update the version informations - and it would give an opportunity for future batch plugin updater tool(s) to exists, too
(though for these kind of utils it would be the best to read the verinfo directly from the plugin file, since the original package's location is always unknown).
