Trying to plan how to try MC13 (given its "rough" status), some questions about whether MC13 and MC12 can co-exist, and at what level? What do we need to know about migrating and/or intermixing? For instance...
What happens if MC13 is installed "on top of" MC12? I presume it actually gets put in a separate program folder, but what does it share with an existing MC12 -- Windows registry settings, app data folder, or ??
When opened by MC13, do library files get automatically and notably converted (lots of custom fields and views in mine)? Once touched by MC13, can the library files still be used by MC12 or not? If an MC13 library can't directly be used by MC12, can it be down-converted?
In considering using a library in MC13 and MC12, is there a difference between a library backup and the current live library files?
Any difference in music/media files once touched by MC13? Will MC12 notice or care?
Can an MC12 library server be used by an MC13 client? Vice versa?
What else do we need to know migrating or co-existing?
Also, it would help to know what in MC13 is "rough" or more important, risky. Is it mainly UI-level and/or missing or incomplete new/improved areas, or could use of MC13 affect core functionality or put media files at risk?
