Plugin not found

I have been 'playing' with LMMS to get to know the program.
First I have downloaded version 1.2.2 and experimented a bit.
Later on I was curious about what version 1.3.0 would be; I downloaded that version too and experimented. Maybe that was where things began to go wrong ;-(

I have removed version 1.3.0 and reloaded 1.2.2, to start again with a 'clean sheet'. That was what I thought.
But now, when I try to load an older song, I get the error message "The plugin "midicontrollers" wasn't found or could not be loaded! Reason: "Plugin not found."
And the program hangs; I have to go to the task manager to close it.

What is wrong here? Does anyone have tips, waht to do about this?

Thanks in advance,
Ad

As you can see i enhanced
reloaded 1.2.2,
Thát is where your issue comes from.
It is very common issue that user-files saved in an newer program-version cant be opened in an older version of a program.
Only if nothing has been changed in the newer program, an older version would be able to open such a file.

Your 1.3 LMMS saved project cant be opened in a 1.22 version of LMMS, you will need LMMS 1.3 installed before you can open that 1.3project. -Incidently, LMMS is one of the very few programs that will open projects made more than a decade ago ..
I know that wont help you, but That is pretty unique
