Blender file from Blender 2.49 to 2.79 when rendering changes default screen layout I used Boujou and a script in Blender 2.49 then opened the file in 2.79. Now when I render, I get redirected to a different screen layout:



And my composite that adds the video background doesn't load as well in this view unless I re-open the Composite Node editor. 

Is there a way to do something similar to reset the settings to a project in Blender 2.79?
This is a wild step in the dark since I haven't used 2.49 in quite a while. But there's two things you can try.


Make a new file and append the data you need from the other file with SHIFTF1. That way you should be able to isolate pretty well what is broken and what isn't.
You can disable 'Load UI' when loading the old file.
