XML file is coded #1049

Closed aayaffe closed 2 weeks ago

aayaffe commented 2 weeks ago

After using archi for a while with the collaboration plugin the xml file was suddenly coded and is somehow not human readable. The oddest part is that archi can still load it. The problem is I have been using the xml file to run some BI analysis in power bi and now the file is not readable.

What could have cause issue?

Version of Archi

5.2

Archi Plug-ins

Coarchi

Operating System

Windows 10

Expected Behaviour

Archi XML files are human and machine readable

Actual Behaviour

Archi XML file is coded in some way

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

  1. Normal usage with archi and coarchi

Hi, what do you mean by "the file is coded"? Perhaps you mean that it is a binary file? If so, this happens if the model contains an image (.png, .jpg, etc) file. In that case the .archimate file is saved as an archive file (zip format) containing the XML file and the image file(s).

Hi. I guess you are not speaking about the small xml files (usually hundreds or thousands) but the tmp.archimate file you can find locally. This file is the native Archi format and is an xml file, but if you add some images in your model, it becomes a zip file containing both the images and the xml.
