Couldn't agree more. Especially that this seems to be a deliberate choice
on their part...
Probably why they didn't is because several of the updates along the
way would have involved changes in data structures and in the way that
the enigma files were encoded. These changes in data architecture
would not be able to be duplicated in an older format because they
were new features/structures, or significant changes to old
structures. Therefore, there wouldn't have been a way to save as an
older version with the guarantee of no data loss, and as we were
talking about previously, with our unwillingness to update older files
due to unpredictable changes, I don't think we'd be excited about loss
of data going the opposite way. However, it sure would have been nice.
