[oXygen-user] Shared project files

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello again,

I should add that in older versions the files that were open when Oxygen
was closed were saved in the project file and this could be a source of
conflicts in the project file if older versions of Oxygen are used. In
versions 9.x these files are saved in the user preferences.


Regards,
Sorin
