Minimalist Madness
It’s no secret that I love foobar2000. I mean, look at all the stuff I’ve written about it so far! Also notice how seamlessly I worked my search feature into this post.
Anyway, there’s something I don’t get. Obviously, I always want to be using the latest version of foobar2000. While I try to keep track of new releases, I sometimes neglect to, in which case I have to compare version numbers. So I put foobar2000.org and Help → About side by side and …
… I am once again reminded of the fact that foobar2000 must be the only application that does not list its own version number in the About window. Sure, it’s everywhere else: bring up Preferences and it’s in the title bar; it’s even in the main window’s title bar and status bar while nothing is playing, but, unfortunately, that doesn’t happen very often down here.
Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t a huge inconvenience. Eventually, I’m sure I’ll remember where to look. It’s just a weird choice. Like being gay. No, wait.
