Change file description and copyright?

[szwacz]

Hello, could this tool also allow people to change file description and copyright strings?

[Ivshti]

I would like to add the product name to this list.

The full list is:
CompanyName, FileDescription, LegalCopyright, ProductName

[Ivshti]

It ChangeString does what I think it does implementing this will be straight forward. Will PR later today if thats the case.

I couldn't set up my windows building environment (what a pain), so I am leaving this for now.

this works for me:

$ rcedit "path-to-exe-or-dll" --set-version-string "CompanyName" "MyCompany"
$ rcedit "path-to-exe-or-dll" --set-version-string "FileDescription" "This is an exe"
$ rcedit "path-to-exe-or-dll" --set-version-string "LegalCopyright" "Copyright whatever"
$ rcedit "path-to-exe-or-dll" --set-version-string "ProductName" "MyAwesomeProduct"

this is just a documentation issue

I found this on the grunt-rcedit doc
To get all the possible keys, you can open the exe with a gui program like resourcehacker or winresourcer

Doh! Looks like you are right @felicienfrancois

Thanks @felicienfrancois. Seriously, this should be documented!
