FFX Compatibility Tool v0.2.1
FFX Compatibility Tool v0.2.1
FFX Compatibility Tool 0.2.1 lets one batch convert every preset to several After Effects versions at once, remembers your last-used conversion settings, and turns the app self-updating — a quiet update check, a live what's-new panel, and an in-place updater that verifies what it downloads.
✨ What's New
- Multi-target batches — the file manager's new Targets field picks several AE versions, and every preset converts once per checked one: 30 presets × 2 versions = 60 outputs in a single pass, each named with its version suffix. In-place overwrite stays a single-target job; with several versions picked the app asks for another output mode instead of letting one version erase the others.
- Your last-used conversion settings are remembered — target version, batch targets, output mode, the include-subfolders and remove-missing-effects checkboxes, and the folders you last opened, browsed and saved to. Open the app and everything is where you left it.
- The app updates itself — a silent, throttled check (on by default, off in Settings → About) notices a new release and raises a small toast plus a Settings badge, never a popup. The updater window then shows the release's what's-new notes, downloads the new exe, verifies it against the release's SHA-256 and swaps it in place — nothing is installed, and a failed swap puts the old build back.
- A live what's-new panel in Settings → About — every release now ships a machine-readable changelog.json beside the exe, so the About page reads the newest version's notes right inside the app, offline from the embedded copy, fresh from the release when online.
Install
- Download FFXCompatibilityTool-0.2.1.exe below — that single file is the whole app.
- Run it — no installer, no zip, no DLL pile, no data folder: everything is inside the exe.
- Requires .NET Framework 4.8 (preinstalled on Windows 10/11; Windows 7 SP1 needs the 4.8 runtime installed once).
- Windows shows a "publisher could not be verified" warning on first run — this app is unsigned open source, and Windows says that about every fresh download. Match the SHA-256 in the Verify section below, then click Run.
- If the prompt gets old: right-click the exe → Properties → tick Unblock.

The in-app updater (Settings → About) announces this release to installed builds automatically — it downloads the exe, checks it against the SHA-256 above, and swaps it in place; publishing a release is the whole announcement.
