How to access MMF Dev file properties for reading?

How do i access the MMF Dev file properties for reading?

psuedo example: (its about the quoted part)
SET TITLE("Fantasaar Editor v"+AppVersion$+" - "+Apppath$+"\test.bin")

have a global string ?

[Patrick]

that would work, but the trick is to get the actual version number. Lets say i forget to update the string, or the fileversion, then it differes.

You can use file folder object to do that. But you'll need to read the information of the EXE itself.

If you do that, I would read it once and store it in a global string and use that- otherwise you will be putting unnecessary strain on the hard drive.

[Patrick]

ok, good plan.
on a note: it would be very nice if clickteam makes these functions so file reading is not nessesary, it could just read it from the properies.

I think this property is not saved in the final application.

[James]

Umm.. yes it is, or you wouldn't be able to view it

[Patrick]

correct, so that is what i am suggesting. to save it, and make it accessable using "AppVersion$"
as done with "AppPath$"

I've searched a lot for all of these property accessible in runtime for the MMF2params object I've made and I've found them.
If you know where they are, tell me and I'll add them in the MMF2params object.
