GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 750144
Missing version information
Last modified: 2015-08-01 21:49:45 UTC
I'm missing a menu entry that shows which version of Eye of GNOME is in use so maybe there could be added one.
In 3.16, the eog "About" dialog offers such information and is available via the top bar menu in gnome-shell (and via the eog icon in other systems, like XFCE).
If I'm starting Eye of GNOME I'm only seeing the hamburger menu being active (besides the window actions) which doesn't provide anything that leads me to this dialog.

I had to look what gnome-shell is and after doing it: No, I'm on LXDE.
Version information is available in the application menu then (e.g. XFCE displays that as the very first dropdown icon in the title bar of the application). I don't know where LXDE displays the application menu.
Shouldn't Eye of GNOME itself provide this menu instead of relying on external applications for showing the version information?
EOG does provide the *menu content*, every application can expect that menu to be present in the desktop, and I'd expect desktops to make that menu accessible.
I have now created a ticket on Launchpad for this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxde-common/+bug/1480611
