Save in XML Format

#1 Post by sergii » 24 Sep 2022, 13:18

Hi

There are a couple of mentions that we will be able to save/load our projects in XML Format (instead of binary) some time in the future when XML format is polished enough.

Does this apply for component and pattern libraries as well? The reason Im asking is that XML format for libraries has been available for a few minor releases already but there is still no option/mentions to save/load libraries in this format.

Im really looking forward to switch from binary to XML to improve diffing of changes that I made, generate/update components components programmatically, much better collaboration and conflict resolution. Is there a hope? Timelines maybe?

Binary format (I appreciate that it is faster and size efficient) makes life a lot difficult for me and 'text' formats is the only thing that Im really really missing when I switched from KiCad

Thank you.
