Convert old Sketch files to Sketch 3.1 file format?

    If you control-click or right-click on the icon you'll notice that on old sketch files, not updated to the new 3.1 format, will show "Show Package Contents"

    Old Sketch Format

    Files in the new format will NOT show "show package contents" in the menu. The fact that they are shown as the file type of "Sketch Drawing (Old)" seems erroneous.

      Saving it in 3.1 doesn't change anything.

      Very good point. In fact, on looking at some files I haven't opened since the update I got this: Old file.

      And for the file in question, I got this: New file.

      I'm calling this a bug in Sketch — they mixed up the new/old file descriptions.

      I can also confirm Dropbox sees the "Sketch Drawing (Old)" as a file, while the "Sketch Drawing" file is seen as a folder.
