#66 files are corrupted when saved with newer version of bpmn

[Mike]

Hello Blenta,
I created some bpmn files in 2013 which I now need to modify.
The files have been created and last modified with yaoqiang-bpmn-editor-2.1.37.jar.
Now I open them with yaoqiang-4.0.33, and everything looks ok first, but after I change something and re-open the file, all the lables are moved.
See screenshots and old and new bpmn files to see what I mean.
It might be that the reason for this is the conversion from UTF-8 to Windows-1252. Is it possible to prevent this conversion?

As an alternative I tried to reopen the files with yaoqiang-bpmn-editor-2.1.37.jar, but it seems I cannot start this old version on my PC anymore (Windows 7), when I start it, BPMN Editor does not open, it only creates a javaw.exe process and an icon in the system area, but no GUI is shown. Is it possible to find out the reason for this and repair BPMN?

Best regards,
Mike

Here is an easy work-around:

1) open the original files created with 2.x. and save it again without any change.

2) modify the saved files content,
from

exporterVersion="2.1.34"

to

exporterVersion="4.0.33"

3) reopen the modified files.

Best regards,
Blenta
