DRP DRT DRA Version Identifier

I created a simple FreeBasic console app for Windows that identifies which Resolve version a .drp file was exported from.

Add the exe to your desktop and drag and drop the drp file onto the icon. A console will open showing the Resolve version of the drp. The console will automatically close after 30 seconds or hit a key or close it sooner.

New version that gets version of .drp, .drt and .dra files.
DRXVER.zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jx1OJsefq1yoLlVnrd_2RPolaTPdZfQG/view?usp=sharing

The zip file contains the executable and the FreeBasic source code.

How it works: A .drp file is actually a zip file containing specific files and folders. One file, "Gallery.xml" contains the drp resolve version. The program opens the drp, reads the contents of Gallery.xml, extracts the Resolve version, and prints it to the console.

Excellent!

I created a new version. This one is called "drxver". You can drop a Resolve .drp, .drt, or .dra* file on the icon to get the Resolve version it was exported from.

* - .dra archives are actually folders with project files within.

DRXVER.ZIP - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jx1OJs ... sp=sharing

Contains the executable and source files.

This one gets the version from the "project.xml" file. It only opens the first 1000 characters of the file so it doesn't matter how large the "project.xml" file is. For Resolve archive "folders", there is a project.drp file at the root folder that the program opens and reads the "project.xml" file to get the version number.

Most Excellent!

Just wondering if anyone besides Walter thinks this is useful?

Haven't used it yet. But I think it's a great tool to have.

Francisco, it looks like you’re on a Mac. The app is only for Windows.

Very useful, thanks!

Gary,

i have it downloaded, typicaly i work with a well controled color pipeline, and test for thing like compatibality early on, so no real use case for this...
until something goes off the rails then i have it for when i NEED it
and for that i offer thanks in advance!

I know. I have a windows system as well that I mainly use for calibration but not fro grading, that's why is not on my signature.

If there's anyone here that does Mac or Linux programming, creating an app like this for those OS's shouldn't be difficult. The FreeBasic source code enclosed in the zip is pretty easy to follow. You just need a zip library to get access to the xml files within the .dr(p,t,a) files.

Thank You Gary! Nice and useful app. What do you think is it possible to rewrite a few lines in a resolve 18 project file to open it in version 17?

The project.db files are quite complex. I don't know where I'd even begin.

I think it's very useful, but I dont know when to use .

Hi Gary! I found your application very useful, so thank you for your time. This app has saved me a lot of time.
Thanks from Spain
