Question about <PropValue> comments in .xx2 files #94

Closed RickBorup closed 1 year ago

RickBorup commented 1 year ago

Do you know at which version the *<PropValue> and *</PropValue> comment tags were introduced (or removed) from FoxBin2PRG? I'm working with a team where not all developers are using the same version of FoxBin2PRG. When sharing files via Git, differences are sometimes detected in the .xx2 files which turn out to be merely the presence or absence of these comment tags. We are speculating it's due to different versions of FoxBin2PRG and would like to standardize to eliminate this issue.

@RickBorup, this a change to fix #90, #91 #92, where data in the properties was lost. This is fixed in v1.19.77 with the coast of a different structure of the [vs]c2 files. You will only loose data in the situations of the issues mentioned, else it's just a pain with the commits. Sorry, I thought I put a message about this somewhere.

Anyway, I recommend to use the latest version v1.19.78, available via this repository or Thor.

Additionally I like to point you to Bin2Text, this will only convert files changed, so files untouched by VFP will not be transformed to text. But it might be a different logic of git use.

@lscheffler Got it. Thanks for the quick reply.
