Re: [LMMS-devel] "Save new version" and number incrementation

[Tobiasz K. <un...@gm...>]

For me this is rather a way of making sure I don't break something.
It also happened that LMMS broke the project file removing all ZynAddSubFX
preset data from it - plain sinusoids ensue!
In such a case I can still resort to the previous version - possibly copy
all preset data from it and use with the new sequences.
Saving new versions.

I will file an issue.
PS: I still can't figure out how do I assign labels to issues - can't
drag'n'drop them - any tips?
