When generating a Narrative Report, some "signature" is added at the bottom of the first page telling the reader when and how the report was created.  It reads something like:

"This genealogy report was generated by GenoPro® version 2.5.4.1 on 2013.3.23 using custom skin template Narrative Report version 2013.02.17."

This sentence contains 4 different variable pieces of information:

1. "2.5.4.1" which is the version of GenoPro used
2. "2013.3.23" which is the date the report was generated
3. "Narrative Report" which is the skin.name attribute value specified in config.xml
4. "2013.02.17" which is the skin.version tag text value in config.xml

I tested 3 and 4 with different values to see if these were the ones that conditioned the header.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Whilst I can live with the first two, I believe the last two make no sense.  Hence, I would like to suggest to replace argument 3 with the "skin folder name".  This would automatically and uniquely define the skin used and thus also the corresponding config.xml, dictionary.xml, home.htm, ... file versions and contents.

And maybe we could replace argument 4 with the "parameter settings profile name"? 

Does this make sense?  Right now I have to modify the skin tags in config.xml with each new version even if the rest of the file did not change, just to see the correct version number popping up in the header.
