Chipp created a plugin to go back to the previous version:

As many of you have read, the file formats are no longer backwards compatible with the new 2.7. Thoughtfully, RunRev provided many of us beta testers with a way to force a stack to revert back to an old file format using an undocumented and unsupported global property.

This of course is fraught with potential problems. If you use a newly introduced token in a script, chances are your new stacks would break when opening in a previous version even when using this plugin.

But, if you're like me, and you have to go 'back and forth' (for instance our plugins must work in both environments), you really need to be able to do this. So, I wrote this plugin and thought I'd share it with the community.

I'm not sure the reason why RR won't publish the global property to make this possible. But, in the meantime, I've written a plugin, which you can place in your 2.7 plugins folder, which will do this. I've password protected the stack so that Rev's secret global prop is still secret, and of course I provide no warranties it will work all the time, but it can be a lifesaver if you're toggling back and forth between apps.

I also recommend using our altArchive plugin as well to maintain serialilze archived versions of your stack each time you save.

To get the StackFormat plugin, just type into your 2.7 message box and hit return the following:

go URL "http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altplugins/StackFormat.rev";

Hi,

I posted a request for this yesterday but have not had a response. I
don't think I will use 2.7 except for playing until either I get this
or it's more stable.

In the meantime I am searching for the information else where, I
think it was published once upon a time. If you find it before I do,
please let me know the information.

I really can't see why they want to keep it a secret, any ideas????

All the Best
Dave

When grouping objects, the group is arbitrarily shrunk so that some

Scripts of objects in the group no longer work. If, however, I use
the message box to show/hide one of the objects referred to in the
script, the script begins to work again. Rebooting Rev 2.7 has no
effect on these problems.

Much as I love being an unpaid beta-tester for Rev., the lack of
backward compatability is a bit of a pain in the Inspector as I now
have 2 days worth of work stuck in ver. 2.7. What is the magic
command that will strip them of 2.7 features (documented and
otherwise) so that I can go back to 2.6.1 and get my job done?
