Dangerous Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Not a bug but something that some people find confusing . Ver 1 & Ver 2 can coexist on the computer. Some people like me have just moved to Ver 2, some are keeping Ver 1 and using both to meet clients needs and other have both, using Ver 1 while testing/learning Ver 2. There is confusion over which shortcut refers to which version. I have always used a round icon for Ver 1 so the square icon (I currently can't change) of Ver 2 means for me I can't get mixed up. Would it have been better for Serif to have altered slightly the ver 2 icon? The other thing, ver 2 will overwrite a ver 1 file without warning thereby loosing the ability to open it again in Ver 1 program. Could there have been an option (that could be turned off if required) where by default if ver 2 was going to overwrite a ver 1 file it triggered a warning giving the user the option to rename or overwrite? Maybe @Patrick Connoror another admin could add their thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The V2 program icons, on Windows and I think on Mac, have a darker upper-left corner. If that helps...
