Summary0009086: Versions compatibility
DescriptionIn my projects I try to work with latest Scribus versions for in-depth testing. So, my projects are saved in different Scribus version. But since file formats are incompatible (for example file saved in 1.3.7 cannot be opened in 1.3.6) there is some mess with versions (especially since versions are not indicated by file extension). There is no way to export file for sending it to someone who is not interested in testing and uses stable version, and even to know what Scribus version is nedeed.
There may be many different occasions when projects should be shared between users with different Scribus versions. So, adding "export as older format" would be useful.
TagsNo tags attached.

Actually, the file formats in 1.3.6 and 1.3.7svn are compatible. It was a bug in 1.3.6 that prevents files from other versions to be read. This bug has been fixed, and if you are using 1.3.7svn there's no need to go back to 1.3.6.

since 1.3.7svn is not available for all systems yet and since you are promoting 1.3.6 for broader use, please consider releasing a patched 1.3.6.1.

I would prefer to cut the scope of 1.3.7 than releasing a 1.3.6.1

My exact problem described below.
I upgraded my home PC to Ubuntu 10.04 and installed Scribus via Ubuntu Software Center (it reports to be Scribus Version 1.3.6, 16 March 2010, Build ID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.10-64bit). Then I bring from office some project that were saved with Scribus 1.3.7svn on Windows XP. That project can't open in 1.3.6.

Sure, I will try to build 1.3.7svn on Ubuntu 10.04, but there still some troubles (http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=9030#c23880).
