[Feature]: For testing and other purposes, when loading a campaign, would like to know what MapTool version created that *.cmpgn file.
Feature Request
I am trying to test MapTool 1.12.0 Beta 3 compatibility with *.cmpgn files created by earlier MapTool versions.
Problem is that I'm not sure what MapTool version created those files.
I would like MapTool to indicate in the Chat window or popup dialog what MapTool version saved that *.cmpgn file.
This information is also useful in case we do NOT want to save that *.cmpgn file on top of the existing *.cmpgn file created with the earlier MapTool version.
The Solution you'd like
Display the MapTool vesion that was used to save the *.cmpgn file being "opened" (i.e. loaded) in the MapTool version currently being used.
This information can be displayed in anyway that is convenient. Some ideas are:
- Display as a chat message in the Chat window.
- Display as a message in a popup dialog.
- Display in the titlebar of MapTool.
Alternatives that you've considered.
Trying to open the *.cmpgn file using an older MapTool version, which always complains that we're trying to open a file from a newer MapTool version AND it tells us which version of MapTool was used to create the file -- but it's not convenient to install earlier MapTool versions that we're not using anymore.
Additional Context
No response
This information appears to be stored in the "properties.xml" file for the *.cmpgn file.
