Hi @vortex-surfer, thanks for noticing this change!

This is mainly due to the adoption of the ESP-IDF Installation Manager (EIM) for installing ESP-IDF and how the tool provides the version(ESP_IDF_VERSION). However, I see that under the "Name" column, we already showing the major.minor.patch version as well. Do you see any challenges with this?

We will also take a step back and reassess whether we really need to show two columns.

In my case, using the EIM CLI tool to activate an existing checkout of the ESP-IDF versions the Name column is initially showing the git hash of the ESP-IDF repository. I had to rename it manually with the CLI tool to show the full version.
If I understand you correctly @kolipakakondal it is more an issue to file at the espressif/idf-im-ui project to show the full version number in ESP_IDF_VERSION?

Could you provide the reproducible case for me?

Could you provide the reproducible case for me?

I have the esp-idf repo cloned, e.g.
git clone --depth 1 --branch v5.4.2 https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git esp-idf
then I add it with the CLI tool
eim install -p <path/to/esp-idf>
