Hello,
I managed to check out Rt code from GIT and build it but when I run the built file its title bar show following:
How can I remove -rt1-gtk3-… from the tile bar
Create a file ReleaseInfo.cmake with the following content:
set(GIT_DESCRIBE "5.0 Yogi_Yang")
set(GIT_BRANCH "")
set(GIT_COMMIT "")
set(GIT_COMMIT_DATE "")
set(GIT_COMMITS_SINCE_TAG "")
set(GIT_COMMITS_SINCE_BRANCH "")
set(GIT_NUMERIC_VERSION_BS "0x0")
and put it in the toplevel RawTherapee source directory. Then recompile (you
might want a make clean first to be sure).
Why would you want to? It’s there for a good reason.

I think that without a valid version number @Yogi_Yang will no longer be able to provide a documented bug report if needed.
@gaaned92 sure, you’re right. But this is free software, so freedom to the user… including the freedom to screw it up and not complain about it

That’s a good on. You make my day. 
Ah! yes, sagacious remark!
Because I don’t like such cryptic version numbers…
I want something which is more understandable and easy to remember.
If someone asks me the version of RT that I am using it would be hard to narrate such long and cryptic number…
… but without this number nobody knows which version you are using. The version you are using right now is a development (nigthly) build which changes every day (sometimes twice or three times a day). This number shows exactly which changes your versions has included and which not.
And useless.
For that exact reason you should not change the version number.
Hello,
Ok then I will not change it.
I felt it odd to have such a cryptic alpha numeric version number for a software.
Anyways thanks everyone for your support and valuable inputs.
TIA
Yogi Yang
Stable releases have simple numbers, e.g. “5” or “5.1.” Development builds need to have those long numbers in order to be descriptive.
