Is there a way to determine who originally created a file?
I am working with some old storyline files, and I am trying to determine who created them so that I can reach out with questions.
Is there a way to see the original creator?
Thank you!

1. Make a backup copy of the .story file
2. Change the .story part of the name to .zip
3. Within the zip, find a folder called story
4. within the story folder find a file named story.xml
In it, I found this line with my name, so I'm assuming that is the creator: <prop id="18">Walt Hamilton</prop>
5. Change the .zip part of name to .story
If you have the published version, look for a file named meta.xml, which very clearly shows the author's name. If you load it and publish it, that may turn out to actually be the publisher, not the author.
