Saving in Legacy Format: RR Media.

Richmond,

search the mail list archives for a thread containing, "file format  
change" on the subject. You'll see that there is a way for Rev Media  
to save using old 2.5 format. This is undocumented and probably  
unsuported meaning it might go away in the future. I don't have Rev  
Media here and I am not using this option. I have Revolution from 2.5  
til 2.7 installed here and when I need to use old format stacks I use  
Rev 2.6.1 and when I am building new stuff that don't need to be  
opened in previous Rev I use 2.7.

There was a thread about that and I think chipp did a little altPlug  
that would backup a stack using old file format. This new stack  
format is not only Rev Media, all Rev versions from 2.7 up save in  
this format. I don't know the internals and what changed so I cannot  
say about what you'd be missing by moving to old file format.

mail list archives are your friend!!!!

Cheers
andre
