[Audacity-devel] Opening 1.2.6 Projects

[Gale A. <ga...@au...>]

On the checklist, this essential item is marked as done:

"Fix: Change dialog when you open a 1.2 project. It should just tell
them that this will change the project to a 1.4 project file that can't
be opened by 1.2. [Done]"

The wording that appears when you open a 1.2.6 Project in 1.3.4 is: 

"This file was saved by Audacity 1.2.6 and the format\nhas changed.  
This version of Audacity can try to\nopen it, but there may be problems. 
You should back up\nyour project first, to be safe.\n\nAfter you save
the file with this version of Audacity,\nyou will not be able to open
the file in the older\nversion anymore.  Would you like to open\nthis
file right now anyway?" 

To me this does not look consistent with the fix. Should we just 
remove the second and third sentence (and fix "anymore")? And is 
this wording better?

"This file was saved by Audacity 1.2.6. You can open\nthe file with this
version of Audacity, but if you save it with this version\nyou will no
longer be able to open it in older versions.\n\nOpen this file now?"
