Convert an existing binary Xojo Web Project to Text

Targets Web

Hi!

I have started building a Xojo Web application using the Xojo binary format (“.xojo_binary_project”).

I now want to save it in the text format to start using version control. (“.xojo_project”).

I have accessed the Xojo settings and set the preferences to set “Text” as my preferred format:

However, I can’t find how to save my binary project in the text format to put it in my git repository. I have tried rebooting xojo, creating a new web project and trying to save it in text format, but the app still required me to use “xojo_binary_project” extension when saving.

How does this work?

Thanks,

Simon

Do a “Save as …” and then choose the format in the dialogue window where you choose the filename.

Edit: this pre-supposes that you have the appropriate licence, of course.

Save As should show these options if you have a Web, Pro or Pro Plus license:
