My projects are all saved as text, not binary or xml.
But when I use “Make External”, it only save as binary or xml, and not as text.
Is that how it is supposed to be (would be weird…)?
yes - this is “as designed”
Hm ok…
The reason for my question was, that I was hoping I can do it like in Delphi, where I have external code/units, which I can edit with whatever I like, and only refer to them in the uses clause and can use them, without importing or such things. I guess thats not possible with Xojo.

FWIW, If youre using a version control system like subversion, you can define an external in there to make a file or folder available across projects.
Or, this ancient feature request (actually originally from fogbugz) could be handled …
at best only partially
a single module with other modules & classes could not work
there are issues with the VCP format that cant be bridged decently without a revamp of that format
