Version history

[Deagletx]

After you do an upgrade (major one) is there a file or a way to show what version you upgraded from?  I need to fall back to edit a file before I can get more into this.

Upgraded from ???? to 6.1

If you open a sequence in a text editor, the version used to create it is in the header

I'm not finding it in the XML file see below

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<sequence saveFileVersion="14" createdAt="11/4/2015 6:51:39 AM" musicAlbum="A Charlie Brown Christmas (Expanded Edition)" musicArtist="Vince Guaraldi Trio" musicFilename="C:\Users\Show\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Vince Guaraldi Trio\A Charlie Brown Christmas (Expanded Edit\04 Linus and Lucy.mp3" musicTitle="Linus and Lucy" videoUsage="2">

Strange. I see AppVersion 6.2.18 on the second line of my loredit files going back as far as 5.0.something.

Same here.  However, farther down for the answer...

Here's a 2022 file in S5 (snipped the 2nd line to keep it short)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sequence saveFileVersion="15" AppVersion="5.6.0.10" id="8e1eb7e5-77cf-4b69-b027-dd512909e279" totalCentiseconds="4565" WaveHeight="1" TimingGridIdx="0" <snip>

And one I modified about an hour ago in S6

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sequence saveFileVersion="15" AppVersion="6.2.0.18" id="257ee382-8856-4fb4-b5f6-1118cb2b0142" totalCentiseconds="26741" WaveHeight="1" TimingGridIdx="0" <snip>

I notice that his lines are quite different than mine.

However, going back into my ancient files, I think that is an S4 file.  Here's the beginning of one of my 2017 files.  Looks FAR closer to what Deagletx showed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<sequence saveFileVersion="14" author="Unknown" createdAt="09/02/2017 11:44:46 AM" musicArtist="Unknown" musicFilename="08 - Christmas Eve - Sarajevo 12-24.mp3" musicTitle="Unknown" videoUsage="2">

Through an agonizing process I found the compatible version I had to get into the Way Back machine LOL Version 3.12.4  trial and error of install, uninstall, install, uninstall.  I guess version info is in later releases.  Although I have 6.1 I haven't had time this year to learn it and don't want to mess up this years Christmas light show.  Thanks for the help gang and I'm sure next year when I do start using S6x I'll be needing help
