So again, the Inkscape file versioning discussion pops up. I think it
would be good to have a proper "upgrading" system in place, that converts any
old-style stuff to new-style before fully loading a file, because we are likely to run
into this again and again. And of course, notify the user of it all.
A certain other program marks the file dirty and appends "-converted"
to the document name when opening older/legacy files.
So you're only (somewhat) notified if you notice the title change, but
then when you save, you're prompted as if it were a "save as".
Closing without modifying prompts the "close without changes" dialog.
