Running a Watchout 4.5.1 file in Watchout 5.2

[Torasin]

I'm not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, I couldn't find it, but can you run a Watchout 4.5.1 file in Watchout 5.2? Or will it need to be rebuilt in the new version?

[Jonas Dannert]

It will be re-built, if opened/saved in 5.3.1.

Please save a copy, if you want to run it in 4.5.1 later.

Yes.

Any WATCHOUT show (version 2.3 or newer) can be opened in a newer WATCHOUT version.

Since version 2.3, all WATCHOUT show files are forward compatible

(and older shows can still be opened in newer versions with a two step process.)

 

Or will it need to be rebuilt in the new version?

 

 No need to rebuild when going forward to newer versions.
