TEcHNOpls Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi, just a minor nuisance. When You open a file from an earlier version, you get to choose: Cancel / Continue / Make Copy. While cancel is ofc ok, the other two seem to be confused. If I select "Continue" ('using this file', per the text above it), I get a 'new' file, w/o any name and so on. If I select "Make Copy" I get the original file, with it's name and saving (ctrl+s) overwrites the old file, by default. I think the behavior is confusing, if I 'make a copy' I'd rather have a new file, if I 'continue' I accept the risks and use the original file. Just my 3 pence.
