Switching to 32-bit from 64-bit in V.2

I'm running an older project for a client and he has a bunch of 32-bit FFGL '.bundle' fx already applied to the scenes that he wants me to run. I'm on V2.22 64-bit -- is there a way to switch back to a 32-bit Version to use these fx?

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions can be installed together on the same system.

Thank you, Eric.

In regards to your guide reference:

"To explicitly run the 32-bit version of Magic on OSX/macOS, select the Magic application in Finder, press Cmd+I to open the Info window, and click the checkbox labeled "Open in 32-bit mode". "

In my OSX (10.14), when I open the info window on the Magic v2.22 application, the only option I see is 'Open in Low Resolution' rather than 'Open in 32-bit mode'. When I check this box to 'Open in Low Resolution', Magic still opens in 64-bit mode. I've tried restarting after checking and locking the info window. No different results.

Does anyone else have this issue with a Mac OSX? Is there another step I'm missing?

This will probably help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436
Another helpful page I found: https://www.mabasoft.net/help/applicati ... tMode.html

32-bit compatibility is limited in Mojave and completely gone in Catalina. I suppose I should update the User's Guide with that info.
