Importing from newer version warning
« on: April 27, 2017, 02:34:35 PM »
In light of this thread, where a feature in an imported profile not existing in the user's installed VoiceAttack attack version caused some confusion, I feel it could be useful to have a warning displayed when a profile is imported which was created by a newer version than the one it's imported to, meaning some features used in the profile may not be present.

Perhaps even with a different message when the user has a release version but the profile is a beta version(as deduced from the extra number at the end of the version string).


EDIT: A warning was added.

Lol....  I added an element to the profile export a long time ago just for this reason.  I never followed through with it.  I put a quick check in when a profile is loaded so if the current version of VA < imported profile version, you'll get a simple message box telling you that some actions may be missing.
