Error warning: Album made with older version of Tiger skin

Morning All,

For the past week, everytime I have opened my album on either my laptop of desktop (after both have been shutdown previously), I am now seeing this warning notice:

This album was made with an older version of Tiger skin (4) A backup of the project settings has been saved in the project folder.

Did do an update to the latest version of Tiger so this may well be a bug related to that update.

Any idea what the issue is?

Thanks,

MdF

I've been getting that weird warning if I open a project made with another skin entirely, like Neptune, and then choose the Tiger skin, instead. Then I end up with a useless jalbum-settings-4.jap file sitting in the project directory.

I don't know what it's checking against, but it's clearly wrong.

The skin tracks the major skin version a project is made with, allowing adjustments to be made between major versions. This is why the skin saves the settings, allowing users to return to an older version. However, due to a bug, it always thought the major version was 3, even in the latest version. Now that I fixed this bug, the skin suddenly realized that the project is back a few versions, so it warns the users and saves the old settings file unnecessarily. To avoid this, I should have turned off this feature, like I did in Photoblogger. I will do that for the upcoming version, which I will release today.
