Are template files backward compatible?

Are template files I (INDT) backward compatible? In other words say CS3 to CS2 or perhaps CS3 to CS1. I know about using INX files but the info out there about template backward compatibility is slim.
Thanks!

There are only two differences between a regular document and a template: Default opening behavior and previews. Regular documents open as originals by default and store a preview only of the first page. Templates open by default as an untitled copy to protect them from accidental overwrites, and will store a preview of every page. You can convert the opeing behavior, but not the preview complement, from one to the other just by changing the file extension.

  • How far are iMovie files backwards compatible?

    Last night, I tried to create a project similar to something that I had done before--creating an iMovie from old analog 8mm videotape, using my Digital8 camcorder as a Firewire bridge or A/D converter. It didn't work! Somewhere along the line, Apple must have dropped this feature from iMovie.
    Long story short, I dragged my old Quicksilver G4 tower with OS 9.2.2 and iMovie 2.1.1 out of the closet, and got back up and running with the analog import. Everything is going great on that computer.
    Now comes the question. This tower doesn't have iDVD. Will I still be able to move my iMovie 2.1.1 files over to a modern Mac, open up the project, and export to iDVD for burning? If not, is there a work-around?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Hey Curt
    Your comment about the Digital8 camcorder via FW not being able to import into your iMovie08 struck me as odd since I am successfully importing from my Canon HV30 through a FW400  to FW800 cross-over cable to my new iMac 27" (with FW800) running Mt. Lion and the latest iMovie 9.0.8 that is in iLife'11. I have full control over my camcorder and the import process.
    But I thought perhaps the A/D converter process (from your analog 8 to dv) might be some sort of reason you couldn't get the import to work. I decided to do some experimenting on your (and my) behalf.  I have a lot of Hi8 analog footage I play on a Sony EV-C100 Hi8 analog VCR plugged into a Canopus ADVC-100 A/D converter with FW400 output to the Mac. I use the S-video cable from the VCR into the Canopus with output thru the FW400 cable. In my situation the A/D converter is a box and therefore not controllable by the on screen controls in the import window so I must use my IR remote to control the VCR playback, clip locating, and stopping.
    Here is what I experienced.
    My Hi8 through the A/D converter to iMovie'11 worked and I was able to successfully import my footage. But without software control I had to put the Import process in Manual mode. The program recognized the connected Canopus as an acceptable DV source ("cam"). I started the VCR and in about 30 seconds the iMovie import view screen locked into my DV signal and began displaying the video. The time code numbers were off but no biggie. I could then use my remote to move the tape to the desired clip locations and click the Import button during playback and it captured the footage. However since this was an A/D converter source iMovie was not able to break clips at each camera start/stop. One long continuous clip as long as I was importing/capturing but nothing that can't be dissected into pieces for use as you edit.
    I've got iMovie'06HD on this Mac too. It runs fine on Mt. Lion. I booted it up and performed the same Hi8 import "test" with the same results. Manual control of the VCR but once it was running the video displayed in the Import window and importing worked as above....one long clip until I stopped the capture.
    So your Digital8 camcorder not functioning with iMovie'08 is unusual. When I encounter such things I usually go through a typical routine of repairing permissions, then rebooting the Computer and then boot up the app. Try that BUT try booting iMovie with your camera already connected and powered up in VCR mode to see if that triggers recognition as the software loads. I've encountered that before on my G5 dually and iMovie'06 once in a while.
    Another thing to try is manually playing your camcorder into iMovie and see if the app will eventually lock into the dv video signal like I experienced in my test with my converter. But with a Digital8 camera & FW it should give you camera control as that is a recognized/approved camera. A friend uses his Sony Digital8 with iMovie but don't know which version he runs.
    Another test you could try is use your iMovie2 program to grab a one minute test clip and save it as an iMovie project. Then bring it over to your "modern" Mac and then right click the project file to "Open in iMovie" and see what the results are. You'll most likely get an Alert notice that says your project was created on an older version of iMovie and opening it in this version will convert it so that it won't open in the old program anymore. Not an issue in your case. If this works just grab all your clips in iMovie2 without any editing, transitions, titles or anything else. Just raw clips and bring the project into 08 that way. Then you won't lose any previous editing work that won't convert.
    Keep us posted.

  • Are the "edge_includes/edge.x.x.x.min.js" files backwards compatible?

    I have a case, where I include multiple animations on the same page. The issue is, that some of the animations are built with current version of Animate 1.5 and others with older versions.
    Can I correct the includes in xxx_edgePreload.js of older animations to the current version of edge.1.5.0.min.js instead of edge.1.0.0.min.js?
    I tested this replacement with a couple of older animations and everything seems to work just fine.
    So my question is:
    Are the edge.x.x.x.min.js files backwards compatible? Is it safe to assume, that older animations will work with newer edge include files or was I just lucky with my test examples?

    Hi, Elaine
    I have tried loading both 1.0.0 and 1.5.0 runtimes on the same page before I posted the question here. And it usually fails. I say usually, because in some rare cases it kind of works, but not exactly as expected. Animations don't animate as they should or mouse events don't work as they should. Also JS console is swarming with warnings (even more than usually)
    On other cases when the animations don't even start, there is some fatal error in the javascript. Different error, depending on the animations and the order I include them in the javascript. After observing the stack trace where the error happened I noticed, that in that single stack there were function calls from 1.0.0 and 1.5.0 - jumping from one version to another. And the error was always connected somehow with "window.[some_property]".
    With all the above information on the table I can only assume that there comes to name clashes and polluting of "window" instance. Given the runtimes are obfuscated, debugging is practically impossible and even out of the scope of my problem solving here I think.
    Of course I allow the possibility that I'm doing something wrong. So Elaine if you could provide me with a working example I would appreciate that and I would gladly explore it.
    Best regards.

  • Standard.js...is this file backward compatible?

    I am importing a number of Captivate files into my RoboHelp project. The files were generated using at least two different versions of Captivate. (Maybe more!) It appears that the standard.js file that comes with Captivate-4-generated files is quite different than the earlier one I was used to seeing. (11 KB vs. 1 KB.) When I did a further search in the help projects, I discovered standard.js files of several different sizes (1, 2, 10, and 11 KB).
    The newest Captivate files were not compatible with the older standard.js. Can anyone tell me if the newest standard.js is backward compatible? That is, if I use the new Captivate 4 standard.js, will all my older Captivate files run properly? (I hope the answer is "yes," because we group our Captivate files in a single folder with a single standard.js file.)
    Also, can you verify that the standard.js file is associated with the Captivate version, rather than being specific to the particular set of Captivate output files? I work on the RoboHelp end, and I don't have Captivate, myself, so I can't look.
    Thanks for any insight.
    G.

    Hi G
    I just finished some testing. It would appear that things are Forward compatible but not backward.
    I created a project using Captivate 2, Captivate 3 and Captivate 4. I copied the version 2 project to the 3 and 4 folders and it still ran (using the JS file for 3 and 4). Same goes for the 3 project. Copied it to the 4 folder and it still ran using the JS file for 4.
    I then tested the other way. A version 4 output refuses to run using a version 3 JS file. However, the version 3 output seemed to happily use the version 2 JS file.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Are 3g chargers backwards compatible with first gen iphone?

    so i know that older chargers don't seem to work on the 3g iphones, but are the newer chargers backwards compatible with the 2g iphones?
    i was thinking of getting some after market wall & car chargers for my first gen iphone, but i rather buy ones made for the 3g iphones just incase i upgrade soon (and i don't want to repurchase the chargers)
    anyone know?

    well I'm aware that certain first gen chargers won't work with the 3G, but i've come across this 3g car charger which specifically states it's not compatible with a first gen iphone. strange.

    unfortunately it doesn't say if it's the same case with their 3g wall charger.

  • Are CS5.5 files backwards compatible?

    I know I won't have the neat features of 5.5, but can I at least open and mess with the code in Dreamweaver  cs3 when the file was saved from CS5.5? Simple question, but can't find anything in the search about this.

    Yes.  HTML is HTML, and same goes for CSS, JS, PHP, .NET, etc.  The code will remain the same.  But as you pointed out the neat features won't be there.  So while Spry will be editable you won't be able to edit it using the GUI in DW (if you download the Widget browser that's another story).  And it will be the same whether it is Mac or PC too so there is really nothing to worry about.

  • SCSI: are all tyes backwardly compatible to SCSI-1 (Centronics 50)?

    ..... but with slower speeds, as with USB 2.0->1.1 ?
    Is it as simple as getting an appropriate cable adapter to match configuration?
    Thanks for your time.

    The answer to your question, "In principle, yes." But there are some complications. The most important is that the while the scsi device itself maybe "compatible" (I use the term "compatible" to mean there is no inherent conflict between the computer and the scsi device) one usually needs a driver. i.e. software, for the computer to communicate with the device. This is device specific software, and is always provided by the device manufacturer. And there are many many manufacturers of scsi devices who have not made, and will never make, the necessary drivers.
    A case in point is the venerable scsi scanner. (They used to cost $3000 and more.) A new Mac with a suitable scsi card has no trouble recognizing the device; i.e. System Profiler will see the scanner. (I have tested antique scsi scanners with OS 10.4.) But actually to use the scanner one needs scanning software. And the odds are they do not exist.
    If you were to tell us what scsi device(s) you want to use, there may be someone here who has already done it. So please tell us more.

  • How backwards compatible are PDF Porfolios, exactly?

    I can't find any definitive info in online help, Padova's Bible, or elsewhere on how backwards-compatible PDF portfolios are. Hoping to get some help here.
    I know that they can be opened in Reader 8 (as a package), can they be opened in Reader 4, 5, 6, or 7? (none of which I still have installed here). In other words, if I send out a PDF Portfolio "blind" ... have no idea what version of Reader the recipient might have ... what's the worst scenario? I could give the recipient a heads-up in the email carrying the attachment, if I knew.
    What does a Reader 4, 5, 6, or 7 user see when they (try to) open the portfolio? Does anyone know?
    I sent a portfolio containing a dozen PDFs and a ZIP to a new vendor of mine a couple days ago. No flash files or anything. I emailed her last night to make sure she got the files, she just sent me this:
    >I got a file. I've been unable to open it yet. I had to download some software, and then I had to see clients, so I don't know what's in the file yet.
    >I'll let you know at end today if I have problems. Unfortunately, I'm i the field most of the day today, and was all day yesterday as well.
    And this is a savvy Mac user. (Not a designer though.) Other people I may send this to may not be so motivated, or even have the right user privileges, to download and install software ... I'm guessing she's trying to download Reader 9.
    Thanks for any help,

    Hi Richard, Anne-Marie,
    You've probably worked out how to replace the rather loud and bullish 'Upgrade to 9 ...' screen in an Acro9 Portfolio opened in Acrobat 7 Reader. I think Anne-Marie certainly has.
    I'm using Acro 9 (trial version currently) and I think most of my users have Reader 7 but, as with Anne-Marie, I certainly would not want to make them feel they have to upgrade just to access my docs.
    For anyone interested, this is how I've worked it out so far:
    1. Create an alternative cover page and PDF it.
    - Note where you've put it.
    2. In Acrobat 9, open your portfolio.
    3. On the View menu, select Portfolio and then choose Cover Page.
    4. On the vertical Icon bar (left column, 3 buttons on my set up), click Pages icon(topmost).
    5. Right click the thumbnail of the page to be replaced and select Replace pages.
    6. Select the page you created at step 1 above and click Select.
    7. To go ahead, select OK and then, Yes.
    8. On the File menu, select Save Portfolio.
    9. Close Acro9 and open up the portfolio in reader 7.
    All the best, regards

  • What are "theme" . . . "design from template" files in this template?

    I've been working on revising the template.dwt (from Codify Design), and it's going reasonably well with help from these forums .
    However, after getting the template pretty well worked over, I happened to open two files called "theme_02_design" and "theme_02_design_from_template" and they seem to contain changes made to the original template . . . except they are totally messed up with images too large, and everything moved around.
    Are these files important to the site, or are they just examples???  They are .html files so I'm thinking not, but I'm a bit paranoid about them.
    Any answers or reassurances would be sincerely appreciated.
    Here's a link to the site if it is needed:  http://asptfacultycaucus.info/#
    Thanks!
    Pamela

    Do a sitewide search with DW's Search tool looking for those filenames and you can see if there are any links to either of those files.  If no, then I think you can conclude that they are irrelevant.

  • Are Compressor files compatible with DVD Studio Pro?

    I am buying Final Cut Pro X and Compressor, but I am working on a school project that needs to be finished in DVD Studio Pro. Would the compressed files be compatible with DVD Studio Pro even though FCP7 and FCPX are not compatible?

    Yes.  Compressor 4 (or any version) will create the DVD-compliant files that are used in DVDSP.

  • Can Framemaker 12 save files down in Framemaker 11 and 10 ? Is it backward compatible?

    Can Framemaker 12 save files down in Framemaker 11 and 10 ? Is it backward compatible?
    Thanks,

    > Times New Roman ... you’re probably using the Unicode version of it ...
    Port a legacy font from the FM7 machine to the FM12 machine, such as Type1 Times, and convert the document to that on the FM12 machine.
    This may not completely solve the problem, as FM8 and later, when opening a pre-FM8 document, appears to convert some things to Unicode code points (even to the point of synthesizing a Unicode encoding of a legacy font, see Re: Adding the Trademark symbol to a document). Saving back to MIF7 probably does not convert the code points back, and FM7 may well complain, or crash, or something.
    If the problem is limited to certain special characters, like ™, there may be work-arounds, like invoking them only as Variables.
    This Unicode border between FM7.2 and FM8 may prove to be one-way for many documents, rather like the spikes at the exit of rental car lots. Do not back up. Extreme document damage may result.

  • My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products?

    My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?

    The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
    The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.
