photoshop code weird?

[ejewels52]

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 2.66 and when go to the Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Software > Applications...I get this for the Photoshop CS2 description:

Adobe Photoshop CS2:

Version: 9.0.2 (9.0.2x312 [20060822.902x312 02:00:00 cutoff]9.0.2x311)
Last Modified: 11/18/06 10:21 PM
Kind: PowerPC

My question is this: For the rest of my apps including illustrator and indesign, the Version just says 4.04 or 12.01 and thats it. Can someone tell me what the code-like numbers in parenthesis is after the 9.0.2 for photoshop? Is this okay? Good installation?

Thanks in advance....

looks like the build date/time, version number and build number.

Not sure if this is the second (sounds like it) or first 9.0.2 that was released since the first one had a print problem with 10.2 and 10.3 which adobe's update manager version didn't fix of 9.0.2.

"This 9.0.2 update replaces an earlier version that was briefly distributed via the Adobe Update Manager. This revised update addresses an issue discovered in the earlier release that could cause a crash when printing on systems running Mac OS 10.2.x or 10.3.x. If you previously installed the earlier 9.0.2 update and are affected by that issue, please re-install Photoshop CS2, then apply this update. If you are running Mac OS 10.4 or later, there is no need to reinstall & apply the update.

1. Quit Photoshop CS2.
2. Move any personal files that you want to save from the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder.
3. Delete the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2 folders and its contents.
4. Empty the trash.
5. Run the Photoshop CS2 installer.
6. Run the Photoshop 9.0.2 update." (9/14/2006, Version: 9.0.2)

yes, good points...but I wonder why photoshop and not the other creative suite partners display this. Also, does anyone else show this on their system?
