  • Need to move between 3.6 and 3.8

Hey guys, I know a spine file saved in the latest version of spine cannot be opened in an older version, but does that also extend to if I simply open a file in the newer version too and then try to go back? I'm on two different projects right now, one that needs to be done in 3.6 and one that needs to be done in 3.8, I just don't want to open the 3.6 file accidentally in 3.8 and lose all my work.

Hello, your project is safe as long as you don't overwrite it by saving, don't worry!

By the way you may want to save a couple of batch files to launch the correct version of Spine depending on the project, I use them a lot!

On windows the procedure is easy. You open a text editor and type in:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Spine
Spine -u 3.6.53

The save and rename to Spine3.6.bat so next time you just double-click it to start Spine 3.6 immediately.

thank goodness, thank you!
