Hello, as the title says, I am having trouble getting my Mac version of Aseprite to open files saved on Windows 10. I receive the error of “Error reading header”.

The files are synced via Dropbox and I am able to always work on the file on Windows 10.

Welcome @matp! Could you please share one of those .aseprite file with us at [support@aseprite.org](mailto:support@aseprite.org)?

We use Dropbox to share .aseprite files between Windows \<-\> macOS and didn’t notice this issue, but it might be a problem in some cases maybe.
