Now there are breaking changes in 3.8 I often have switch my Spine to 3.7 when doing legacy work, re-skins etc.

Would it be possible to either:
Have a saveAs - version for the JSON exporter which saves down to older versions.
Or
On the Splash Screen have a "open version" drop down like in the settings to open the correct version of Spine.
Or
Maybe if Spine detects that the saved project is on an older version of Spine it asks:
Do you want to open in 3.7 or convert to 3.8?
Or
allow version to be defined from the command like (example mac):
open -n -a /Applications/Spine/Spine.app -v3.7
I could then simply have a shortcut for the older version.

Just a thought.
Thanks

Saving as an old version isn't feasible due to how the technology works. You can specify the update on the command line though, for macOS:

open -n -a /Applications/Spine/Spine.app 

---

update 3.7.94

Or:

open -n -a /Applications/Spine/Spine.app -u 3.7.49

thanks for the info that will do nicely

actually it doesn't work for me.

if I use

open -n -a /Applications/Spine/Spine.app

it does open

/Applications/Spine/Spine.app/Contents/MacOS/Spine -u 3.7.94 will do the trick.

working thanks for your help 🙂

FWIW to use open it looks like we need the `

args` parameter:

open -n -a /Applications/Spine/Spine.app 

---

args 

---

update 3.7.94

Wondering are there any additional args available, specifically screenResolution? I have to set it to 100% for <3.8 and 200% for >3.8.

Not a big deal just wondered if I could specify that in the command line as well.

Thanks

I'm afraid that's not possible. The setting is stored in your prefs.json file in <user home dir>/Library/Application Support/Spine/prefs.json. You could have a prefs-3.7.json and a prefs-3.8.json which store the respective percentages, then write a bash script that copies those files over to the prefs.json Spine uses, and also starts Spine.
