Description Ralph Giles 2006-05-02 21:34:35 UTC 
On Ubuntu Dapper, gst-launch-0.8, gst-inspect-0.8 and others respond to the
--version option, but the -0.10 versions do not. It would be helpful to naive
users if they did so, as this is a common thing to try when trying to determine
which tool version is being used.

In this particular case, I was just trying to determine if gst-launch was
gst-launch-0.8 or gst-launch-0.10.

It would be fine if this were just a synonym for --gst-version, since the tools
are part of the library release.

Fixed in CVS:

 2006-05-05  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>

        * tools/Makefile.am:
        * tools/gst-inspect.c: (main):
        * tools/gst-launch.c: (main):
        * tools/gst-xmlinspect.c: (main):
        * tools/tools.h:
          Add back --version command line option (#340460).

        * tools/gst-typefind.c: (have_type_handler), (typefind_file), (main):
          Add --version option and use GOption for argument parsing; refactor a
          bit; accept directories as arguments and recurse into them; lastly,
          print a decent error message when things go wrong.
