| Quote: | from 7.5 to 7.5.1:
c compiler: header files are used as table files. And tablefiles can have any name now |
As a result, if a CT file saved with CE 7.5.1 or later is opened in an older version of CE, all "TableFiles" entries may be renamed to "File0".
hookLegacyTableSave(currentCEVersion) saves the table using the legacy format, allowing findTableFile(filename) to work reliably with older versions of CE as well.

If you don't need backups, comment out or remove writeFile(getBackupPath(path), xml).
