About the update

Hello everybody,

I just updated K-Lite Codec Pack to 16.8.0, and MPC/HC, in its "About" dialog box, displays me this :

Am I not supposed to see 16.8.0 somewhere in this ?
MPC/HC is part of K-Lite Codec Pack, is not it ?

MPC-HC only shows its own version.

Ah, OK.
You know, I "verified" the updates from its help menu.

I admit I more or less guessed something like that.

Oh, if I type "K-lite" in the Windows search field, the only answer is "uninstall K-lite Codec Pack".

Perhaps somewhat brutal compared to the aim of knowing the current version, do not you think so ?

Search for "Codec Tweak Tool". That shows the K-Lite version in its title bar.

OK, so it is 6.6.0.


Oh, got it. You have to click on "Check the updates", that displays the update checker, that displays the version number (I just saw it does when there is no update).

It also shown the version directly in that title bar, but it isn't visible in your case due to the huge text size.

True, and the dimensions are fixed.

It scales based on the general Windows scaling settings. You have text scaling enabled, that causes problems like this in many applications.

Yes, so it is fixed. The general Windows scaling, as the name says it, is general. So, it cannot be modified for the needs of one application.
