[NF] Xojo Source Control ( was Re: Source Code Version Control )

Yes, I use BitBucket more with Xojo projects than I do VFP projects to

be honest. That's where more of my new development efforts are.

For the free version of Xojo, you can only save the project in binary

format which is *not* source control friendly. When you purchase a

license however, the default Xojo project and files are modified JSON

like file that makes it easy to do code comparison and source code

control. The project file looks something like this from my

ctUtilsTest.xojo_project file: (abbreviated)

Type=Desktop

RBProjectVersion=2014.031

MinIDEVersion=20070100

Class=AppCTUtils;AppCTUtils.xojo_code;&h3883D7FF;&h0;false

Window=frmCTUtilsTest;frmCTUtilsTest.xojo_window;&h118E7FFF;&h0;false

MenuBar=MenuBar1;MenuBar1.xojo_menu;&h4E6EEFFF;&h0;false

Class=ctUtils;ctUtils.rbo;&h6D25FFF;&h0;false

BuildSteps=Build Automation;Build Automation.xojo_code;&h353A27FF;&h0;false

DefaultWindow=frmCTUtilsTest

AppMenuBar=MenuBar1

MajorVersion=1

MinorVersion=0

SubVersion=0

NonRelease=0

... lots more settings ...

HTH,

Kevin

Thanks Kevin.

I have the paid for Xojo Professional so I will give it a go. Currently I am trying to set up Christof's TwoFox so as to make everything as automatic as possible when you check out of a project. Nearly done though.

Thanks again

Dave
