When I make changes to a device and save under another name, all .adv files are becoming unusable with the new version. That's totally understandable.
But are there any tips/tricks/magic to edit an .adv file so it gets associated and works with a new version (that might only have cosmetic changes) ?
any way to open presets (.adv) with newer versions of a device ?

Ah, yeah of course.
Except for keeping the same device's name (and the same for its parameters), there's no magic trick afaik.

Ok, I think one workaround is to make device modifications with new names, like 1.01, 1.02...etc then when I'm sure I didn't introduce new bugs, save it back to the 1.00 version.
