If you know of a free app that will output the _versions_ of the currently
installed apps into an editable file, that would be very useful!

Thanks for the suggestion of the F-Droid APK Extractor since I've been
using "App Backup & Restore, by Apex Apps" which has ads in it:
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.usage.appbackup>
I'll check out that suggested F-Droid APK Extractor moving forward.

I've been able to create an editable text file of all the apps (with or
without system apps) using  My Apps (which creates Google Play URLs):
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spencerstudios.applist>
But that text/URL list doesn't show _version numbers_ in the text file.

I can get version numbers using "Applications Info", which has the
advantage that a screenshot sequence will show the icon and version, which
is important when you have multiple apps with the same name:
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majeur.applicationsinfo>
But the output from "Applications Info" is, unfortunately, not an editable
file.

To get an editable file output of the _versions_ of the installed software,
the best I can do so far is do a directory listing of the backed-up APKs,
as explained in this thread.
 From Windows, how can we open a command line on the Android filesystem?

Hence, if you know of a free app that will output the _versions_ of the
currently installed apps into an editable file, that would be very useful!
