Hi Richard,

I wouldn't dream of teaching my grandmother anything in relation to eggs, but 
FWIW: the 'backup+save' button on my standard toolbar extension looks for a 
stack property "uPrefStackFormat" which I can set to indicate the preferred 
format (2.4/2.7/5.5) and sets "the stackfileversion" appropriately before 
saving the stack.  That technique lets me move around between many versions of 
LC without (too often) running into the problem you mention.

best

Ben
