[Glade-users] Reading old glade files returns "Couldnt determine project format"

[jason yap]

Hello Tristan.

Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it.

As much as possible, I don't want to migrate the files to the new version
because this is a very big system and I
only need to update a few glade files. Would you know if there is still a
Glade1 software available around?
I've tried searching but wasn't able to find anything. Google returns
Glade2 or Glade3 results.

Thank you.
