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.
Note that in LC 8.0.0 DP 13 and later, the IDE save commands don't use
"the stackFileVersion" and save as specific versions directly. You may
want to update your toolbar extension to take advantage of this! For
example, simply use:
save stack "my stack name" with format 2.7
(This is new syntax in 8.0.0 DP 13).
