User Guide
The LFNAlias Version Info Dialog
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.400
As suggested by its name, the Version Info Dialog provides version information. Specifically, it contains information on the product, application, and operating system versions. It is opened by selecting/clicking About ... in the Help Menu of the Main Window's Main Menu.



Tabs and Tab Sheets
Tabs and Tab Sheets
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.401
The tab sheets separate and group the available information into smaller, easier to read, parts.
Specifically, the LFNAlias' Version Info Dialog contains four tab sheets, dedicated to:
• General, product version information, on the About SST LFNAlias Tab Sheet,
• (main) application version information, on the App Version Details Tab Sheet,
• manufacturer information, on the About SST Tab Sheet.
• And, operating system, version and supplementary information, on the About Windows Tab Sheet.

The Tabs
Tabs Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.402
The Tabs serve to classify the available information and identify the tab sheets. They also open the respective tab sheet below it, when clicked with the mouse.

The Tab Sheets with Information Controls
Tabs and Tab Sheets Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.403
The Tab Sheets, located immediately below the Tabs contain the components that constitute the information. Typically, this information consists of at least two elements, an icon or other graphic/picture and a text.



The About SST LFNAlias Tab Sheet
The About SST LFNAlias Tab Sheet
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.410
Provides information on the official name and version of the product, as published by SST.
This is the tab sheet that is displayed per default when the Version Info Dialog is opened. It can also be explicitly opened/displayed by simutaneously pressing the Alt + a keys on the keyboard.

Product/App Suite Icon
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.411
Icon that represents the LFNAlias Version 1.0 product and application.
However, the two red and grey gears depicted in the icon are merely the generic, SST, icon for a binary executable. The same icon (and/or minor variations of it) may therefore also be used to represent other, SST products and/or applications (e.g. small, utility applications). Updated/future versions of LFNAlias will therefore likely be represented by a different icon/symbol.

Version Text
The Version Text
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.412
Gives the full name and version of the product for which the Version Info Dialog is being displayed. Like the Product Icon, the product name and/or version may differ from that of the (main) application. However, in the case of version 1.0 of LFNAlias, both the product version and name are identical to that of the (main) application.

Application Icon
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.421
Icon that represents the LFNAlias Version 1.0, main, executable file and the shortcuts created to it during installation.
It is displayed on the App Version Details Tab Sheet, beside the Application Version Details,. It indicates that the information diplayed on the tab sheet is that of the product's main application (LFNAlias.exe)

Application Version Details
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.422
Text in Rich Text Format (.rtf) that gives the actual information on the main, application's version. As LFNAlias Version 1.0 consists of only a single application and executable, the information is limited to this application/executable.
Although the entire text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by means of the Version Info Dialog's Copy Info Button, parts can also can be marked/highlighted and copied manually. Alternatively, it can be dragged and dropped into other applications (e.g. Windows Wordpad).



The About SST Tab Sheet
