Keep the current xTool design in front and the older version out of the way.
When a design has a newer xTool Studio version, All Files shows that one, with your tags, categories, notes, finished photo, machine and settings. The older version waits in xTool Legacy Files, where you can archive it to a backup ZIP, delete it or restore it.
From two versions of the same design to the one you use.
Long-time xTool users end up with old and new versions of the same design side by side, and it is not always clear which one to open.

Both files stay on your drive until you choose what happens to the older one.
The current version stays in front.
When a design has a newer xTool Studio version, All Files shows the current one and keeps the older xTool Creative Space version out of the grid. Browse, search and filter without two copies of every updated design.
Your organization stays with the current design.
The tags, categories, notes, finished photo, machine and settings you gave a design stay with its current version, so nothing has to be added again.
Every older version listed in one place.
xTool Legacy Files lists the older versions together, with a count in the sidebar, so you can review them before choosing anything. Search and sort the list to find a particular design.
An older version: three choices
The current version: never touched, whichever you choose.
Archive, delete or restore.
Choose what happens to older versions: archive them into one backup ZIP and clear them from the list, delete them, or restore one to keep both versions in the library.
StandoutThe current version is never touchedWhatever you choose for an older file, the current xTool Studio design stays exactly as it is.
Every backup in one tab.
The Backups tab lists every archive you have made, with its size and date. Show a backup in Finder or Explorer, or delete it when you no longer need it.
