how to ID a 7z version from Inkscape window?
Hi Friends, Trying to help someone in a forum, I was trying to figure out whether the version of Inkscape which would open on double-clicking an SVG file had been installed via EXE installer, and which one wasn't technically installed, but was from an unpacked 7z download. I wanted to know which one was associated with SVG files. As far as I can tell, the About screens are identical. Is there some way to know which version you're using? I tried searching LP, but couldn't find some good search terms. So how to tell which 64-bit version version you have open, if you have both 64-bit exe installed and 7z onboard and unpacked?
Thank you very much, brynn
not sure if this will always work or not, but on my Windows 10 machine this worked:
- left mouse button click on Start Button - type in the word Inkscape - see an entry that says Inkscape, with Run Command below it - do a right mouse button click on this and then click on "Open File Location" - this will take you to the directory where it is installed

Hi Alvin, Thanks for the info. By following your steps, I see that, well first, it's a little different for Windows 7, but also, if I have only one instance of Inkscape open, and I somehow forget which one it is, I can find out by your steps. But if I have one installed version open and one 7z version open, (or more of either) I don't see how I can tell them apart. The Start menu search result gives both of them.
Well, maybe it doesn't matter. I was just curious.
Thanks again, brynn

I just did a bit of experimenting and found out that you can get some interesting information from Task Manager. Attached is a screenshot of what Task Manager shows if you have two instances of Inkscape open. First of all it tells you which file is open in each case. Secondly, if you do a right button click on Inkscape in each case, there is a menu item called 'Open File Location' which will tell you which directory that particular Inkscape version is in.

Nice! Yes, that's better than using the Start menu, because if it's a file that's been named, you can ID right away. But even if it hasn't been saved yet, you can still find out!
Thanks for taking the time to help :-) brynn
