Version conflict

General

I have been maintaining existing apps and not creating any new ones.

I just created a new app and the window is now a desktopwindow which I’m guessing is API 2. That would be ok except I also use bkShorts and when I put that code in the app there is a conflict.

How do I create a new app but under the old API?
I tried to download 2019r1.1 but when I do it won’t download. it just says stopped.

thanks

You can make a new project. Then search and replace “Desktop” with “” and downgrade the project to older names.

Or duplicate an old project as a starting point.

Thanks Christian, I think just duplicating an old project and setting up a template is the best way to go. thanks again.

Here, put this in the “Project Templates” folder next to Xojo.app:
Default Desktop Project.xojo_binary_project - 22 KB

It’s my personal template, so it’s set up to be document based. You may wish to change that before making it your default desktop project template.

(It’s a template that was created with an IDE where the built-in default template is pre-Desktop-prefixed, that’s why I trust it more than replacing all the prefixes by hand.)
