Hi,

It might be interesting for you to know that DIFfersifier exports all properties of stacks to XML now. The result is an amost correct XML file, that can be parsed and interpreted by all specialized XML viewers. It should be possible to reconstruct your stack from it, except the ID numbers, for which you might want to use the altIDs.

There are a few little glitches, which will be fixed soon. One of them is that your stack must have a group (any, even empty, group will do). Another is that a small number of tags is incorrect. You might want to delete tags that cannot be parsed for now.

Although DIFfersifier was made to convert HyperCard stacksm, it also works with Revolution and MetaCard stacks. You can find DIFfersifier at <http://differsifier.economy-x-talk.com> and that's also where you will find an update without those XML-related glitches and errors in a few weeks.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Well, if you're able to *not* set 'hard' values of any ids in your code,
then the serialization ( dump ) of a stack is not a problem, no ?
and then, you can use any CVS/SVN/BZR tool to manage your versions
in a very subtle way.

I've done that for an old project, but didn't serialize ( export ) all
properties, only a few.... but it did work !

Regards,
Thierry
