After installing Tiger today I encountered a big disappointment. All
my .qcp files were abolished as it seems. Which is no fun, since I
started developing screen-savers after Apple sent me the first beta of
Tiger. I can't bear the thought that all these hours were for the
oven!
Does anyone have a solution to convert these files? I'm rather
frustrated right now.
any help is largely appreciated!
The .qcp files were compositions generated by the prerelease version of
Quartz Composer that came with Tiger Preview WWDC 2004. A lot of things
have changed since then, including the file format, and we make no
guarantee whatsoever to preserve compatibility between WWDC previews
and final releases. It that case, converting .qcp to .qtz might still
not make them open perfectly as some patches have disappeared and so
on.
That said, if you send me your files directly, I'll try to find an old
Quartz Composer release and see if I can convert them.
