I would hazard that as a safe bet as MacOS would have offered you the choice it knows of which is what you have installed. If you don't know if ran Check & Repair yet for that version, it doesn't hurt to run it again.

Did you manage to install them all side-by-side? (3, 4, & 5)

I would install them one at a time as you migrate and perform Check & Repair. You can see which version is installed by viewing your installation folder (most likely /Applications) in Finder with column view. The info pane to the right should show the version of the app when you select it.

You can also see this info in a System Report from the Apple menu for any software including dates of installation.

That won't tell you what version of an app you last opened a file with though.

Also note, you only need to jump to the last release of a version before making a backup/copy of your file and jumping versions.

If there is a command to see what last app version was used for a file, that would be good to know.

Adrien

Hi all,

I overstayed my time with 2.6.21 and recently downloaded a few versions in
the 3, 4, and 5 families to start a cautious upgrade. Thing is, a few busy
weeks intervened and now I can't remember how far I got. I'd hoped Finder
would populate "Date Last Opened" but that's empty for all versions
including 2.6.21.

Getting info on my gnucash file results in "Open with: 3.11-1" and I'm
willing to believe that's where I left off. But if there's a more certain
way to determine the last version I ran I'd love to know what it is. I'm
comfortable at a unix command line.
