Is there off line VCS applications ? ---

I would also suggest to remove the Xojo Binary format. It’s much slower loading. And if it is damaged, you cannot retrieve anything. XML should now be the default imo ---

Yes, it’s great to have free Xojo Linux Lite. I think it would make sense to just put a little energy in making Xojo more compatible with Chromebook, which is really the most accessible entry machine one can get. Perfect solution for students. And it would take too much effort to make Xojo a great tool on Chromebook… Even just a bit of documentation could be enough… CC @Jason_Parsley. ---

> [@ChristopheDV](#): > > XML should now be the default imo The default should be what Xojo uses themselves to maintain their own codes (_dogfooding_) so we would be less exposed to bugs writing/reading contents. I heard it is the plain annotated source code (GIT friendlier) instead of XML. ---

I saved my app as XML (I use text usually) to compare, and noticed that every single source code line becomes (for example): > \Var x as String\ The project became much larger, too. ---

Kind of stupid and inflated, but necessary as a legacy content for few years. ---
