Is there a way to have some files open with FW6 and some open with FW7?

Well. I have made a site with FW6 and i just downloaded fw7 for all my future sites, so i only want the old sites to open with FW6 and the new sites to open with FW7

Oh, to avoid accidentally open ‘legacy’ documents with the current Freeway7?

  • Well, FW7 documents aren’t backwards compatible, so they can’t be opened in FW6.
  • FW6 files can be opened in FW7, but you will be prompted first to create that copy.

So, it’s not possible to open/edit anything by accident.

So I will have to manually open an old site in FW6, there is no way to automatically having it open with FW6 then

Double-click (…) will result in opening the document in the most current app there available. I think (I’m not sure yet) that in the Finder environment it could be possible to apply an specific app to a document via the Info window (Cmd+I).

Freeway documents by default all have the same extension, which will make it impossible to do this in batch.

I’ve tried it, and no go.

You indeed have to ‘manually’ open the FW6 documents with FW6.

Well, I just tried it and it worked and opened with FW6. However, i got “box action needs latest version of action to work” even when i opened in fw6
