#70 file format changes not compatible in older versions of glab
I know that progress means format changes, but after changing some line spacing errors (see other bug I submitted) and saved the changes. I was not presented with a warning that the new file would no longer be usable in previous versions of glabels. I had been using 2.1.2 for some time. Due to print failures I had to re-install 2.1.2. Then I discovered that it could not load the now changed file. I had to re-create it again, fortunately I had other copies with only logo changes, so was not difficult.
There should be a warning popup about the format change not being usable in older versions of glabels and the original should be saved as a backup. Perhaps appending ".old" to the filename.

Although I can't go back and fix old versions. As of 2.2.3, all versions should be tolerant of files created with future versions. Whether they do a good job of rendering these files is another question.
