Description

For the Gpg4win (and related builds) we want

Kleopatra shows version of Gpg4win (or GPD, etc.) in About window
Kleopatra shows its git revision in Components tab

Open questions:

The manifest file currently uses description "GNU Privacy Guard (Kleopatra)", assemblyIdentity.name "GnuPG.kleopatra", and version @kleopatra_version_win@.0.~~
The versioninfo.rc file currently uses @kleopatra_fileversion_win@ as FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION.
The versioninfo.rc file currently uses @kleopatra_version_win@ as FileVersion value and ProductVersion value.
kleopatra_version_win is the built-in 3-digit version number of kleopatra.
kleopatra_fileversion_win is a 4-digit comma-separated version number consisting of the built-in major, minor, and micro version and a 0.

~~Shall these version numbers match the Gpg4win version instead of the built-in kleopatra version? Or shall only the product version match the Gpg4win version?~~

Update: We leave those version numbers as-is for now.

Is this what you had in mind @werner:

Yes. If gpgconf could read that version directly from kleopatra it would be even better. Bit in cases of early crashes this might be sub-optimal; thus I will tell gpgconf to get some additional version info from an installed versioninfo.txt file (which gpg4win creates). Thanks.
