I haven't updated to 6.0 yet and never updated to 5.0. Can anyone confirm if DP 4.6 project files can be opened with DP 6.0 ? I can make one available for download if anyone is willing to test for me.

Can older DP project files (e.g. - 4.6 ) be opened in DP 6.0
I've experienced serious backwards-compatibility issues with DP projects in the past but that may have been due to the jump from DP (v2.7) in OS 9 to DP (v4.0) in OS X

They should open no problems.
I'm running 6 and be happy to open one for you.

Ps I forgot to add that I've open a few DP4.61 documents without a problem (outside of not having certain plugins)
You may have to rebuild bundles is about the worst you can expect really.

Just yesterday I was wondering about rebuilding bundles.... I sometimes run into a mono-stereo bug with IK Multi-media's Amplitube product line. (It can cause a crash)kassonica wrote:Ps I forgot to add that I've open a few DP4.61 documents without a problem (outside of not having certain plugins)

I'm wondering how rebuilding bundles, helps things and if there's any quick way to do it... (without having to manually do it)

I upgraded from 4.12 . . . new software, new laptop, etc. and no problems at all.

On one project Kontakt instances from the DP4.6 won't load properly into DP 6- but it's hard to tell if this is a DP6 or Kontakt problem. This also is in DAE/RTAS mode
