Assume I have an *.8bf Photoshop plugin file.

Now I want to find out what version this plugin is.

Is this possible WITHOUT installing it?

I could imagine that a hex editor would reveal this.
Or a tool exists similar to an *.exe info tool which shows all relevant infos of an *.8bf file.

Or vary the internal Plugin data structures completely from Plugin to plugin ?

Sven,

Locate the file, right-click on it and select properties. You will see a "version" tab. Select it.
