Anyone having this problem ?

I upgraded to LC5.5 for iOS, but as yet have not done so for Mac.
Edited and saved the 5.5 code and went to load the same file under 4.6.4 and it says its not a good file !!

Both versions running with MobGuI 0.28

thanks

Steve

From the release notes for liveCode 5.5, page 10
Important: As of 5.5-dp-3, the default stack file format has been updated to 5.5. The previous
default version (2.7) has been set as a legacy option in the “Save As” dialog.

Warning: File Format changes to LiveCode 5.5 mean stacks created in LC 5.5 DP2 and above
could have data loss if opened in older versions (field style related data)
be well
