Synology Drive has two versions numbers resulting in available update showing which actually is the same version

Synology, the masters of chaos, use some really strange versioning for their Synology Drive Client:

App > About shows 3.4.0-15724 (latest version as per https://www.synology.com/de-de/releaseNote/SynologyDriveClient)
but the same app reports as 7.4.0 in finder

This mess is obviously not the fault of Latest, but not sure if there is a way to prevent the same app showing as available update with 7.4.0, while 7.4.0 aka 3.4.0 is installed 🤦

Thanks for the report. For me, the app shows as current, because the bundle version is identical (15724). If that matches, Latest should not mark the app as updatable.

How would this differ for us since we are both on build 15724?
