Hi, and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.  
I have a qlab3 workspace file from a show I did more or less a decade ago.
A theatre I'm currently working with is staging a production in the spring. 
My mac runs Tahoe, which won't run any Qlab program earlier than 5.
So - does anyone know of a service or an app that will update my qlab 3 file to run in 5?

Thanks again.

Peter

Hi Peter,

Within QLab:

- QLab 3 workspaces can be opened by QLab 4
- QLab 4 workspaces can be opened by QLab 5
- (Probably this pattern will continue from 5 to 6.)

So you can download and use QLab 4.7 to open the QLab 3 workspace and re-save it, and then do the same from 4 to 5.

v4 remains available here: https://qlab.app/download/ 

Best,
Chris
