Capture Version : It would be very convenient to already see the information about the Capture version in the project overview, for example Capture Student 2025.1.3 next to the file information.

You can see which version of Capture you are using if you look at the colour of the window title bars (Capture 2025 is red for example). The less clutter in the top window bar, the better I would say..

hey Florian, not the year or Capture name, but the specific version, for example 2025.1.3

You can see the information in Help->About. I wouldn't want to see this at all times. The less clutter and visual distraction, the better.

Maybe it's just my need, no problem.

I usually teach with the Student and the professional DEMO versions. Sometimes students open the wrong version and have to go to Help>About to see which software and version they're using.

Floriann, take a look. Which of the two is the Student version?

If you take a moment, you'll see that Blender is open on the right, with information similar to what I request.

It doesn't take that much attention away, right?

I don't like the idea of including the version number in the title bar, that is too specific and cluttering.

However, the title bar should end with ".. - Capture Student Edition". In macOS the menu does read "Capture Student Edition". I will be filing a bug for this.
