Open In
Developer: Jishnu Jithu
Opens the current .blend file in another installed Blender version from the File menu with one click, without altering the original.
What Open In does
Open In is a small Blender add-on by Jishnu Jithu for people who keep several Blender versions installed. It adds an entry to the File menu that reopens your current scene in a different release.
Installed versions are detected automatically on Windows, with experimental detection on macOS and Linux, and you can register extra executables by path. If the project has never been saved, it is stored temporarily before the switch, and the original file is left untouched. It is handy for testing compatibility, checking regressions between releases or finishing a job in a specific build.
