Chris McKay Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Having experienced what seem to be random crashes I think it will be the safest thing for me to revert to using my release version 1.7.3.481. Not surprising, but I cannot open beta files with 1.7. What is the best way of going back? Copy everything and paste into a new document? or is there some smart option? Chris
walt.farrell Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 That's why the beta download pages warn you that the betas are not ready for production, and should only be used for testing. There should be no need to "go back" for anyone who follows that advice. Trying to copy/paste from the beta into the release version is all you can do, as far as I know. It may work, for most data, but I have never tried it. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff Gabe Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Posted January 21, 2020 Hi @Chris McKay, I'm afraid there is no way of converting 1.7 files to 1.8. You even get a pop-up message warning you when you open a non-beta file in the beta. If you did not make a copy on the pop-up dialogue, there's nothing we can do. You can try and copy-paste layers from one to another, or export as PDF and then re-import the pdf, but either way it's going to be a manual process.
Chris McKay Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for all the suggestions. Copy and paste works for text, but not for images that are linked. Its not a big problem for me, I have not invested much time, so can easily start again. Chris
