Uh, oh, wait, the version is on 16 bit, so I indeed have 1.1, which is
then not used at all by thunar. So we're kind-of safe for the moment,
but at one point the check should be added to be able to read 1.1 files.
Though I'm not sure changing the filename is a good idea, and yeah, why
not putting the version check in the code so apps can use ?old? and
?new? formats?
