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

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.

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 Backwards compatibility would be a newer version of the software being able to read files saved with older versions, and this is perfectly possible in Affinity V2.

You are using the terms backward to how I have always used them, and always heard them used :)

Same for me. Maybe it is different when translated between English & German?

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. 🤯 😉

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

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.

You can export to PDF in V2 and open that in V1

Not perfect but there is no way to open a V2 document in V1 directly
