Shows Revit file version, build, worksharing, locale and save count on hover in Windows Explorer. Works with .rvt and .rfa files, including older versions (2016+). Revit installation is not required.
Locale (ENG/RUS/etc.) shows the language of Revit used when the file was last saved. Useful because system family and parameter names depend on the language version.
