HAV Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I need to go back to V1 (from V2). There are too many bugs I cannot cope with. But I am not able to load in my work back into V1. I have days of work that needs to go back to V1. How do I get my files back? Thanks for advising me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Once a file is saved in V2 it cannot be opened in V1 -- IOW, there is no backwards compatibility. If you do not have a V1 backup somewhere, all you can do if you still have both installed is to open the file in V2 & copy its contents to a new file in V1. This may not work for all of the V2 contents. jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.3 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mean is that there is no forward compatibility. Backwards compatibility would be a newer version of the software being able to read files saved with older versions, and this is perfectly possible in Affinity V2.

kaffeeundsalz Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thinking about it … it probably depends on whether you look at the file or at the application – doesn't it? I mean, even if a software is forward compatible being able to read a file from a newer version, doesn't that mean that the very same file is backwards compatible if it can be read by said older software version? I am tired and my head refuses any logical conclusion. 🤯 😉 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple: a file saved in V2 is not backwards compatible with V1. IOW, V1 is not forward compatible with V2.

kaffeeundsalz Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It sounds simple when you say it, but I‘d feel more comfortable if we could agree that it‘s incredibly complicated. Brian_J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It's not complicated unless you try to make it so. If it helps just think about the compatibility being one-way, only from older to newer. jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.3 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
