Say there!

We use both finalbuilder and automize. We keep our FB&nbsp;and AT&nbsp;projects in version control (of course!).

A problem we have is that we can't diff the projects, so we can't keep track of what is changing.

Can FB&nbsp;and AT&nbsp;save their projects as straight XML&nbsp;?

&nbsp;

Thanks!

Yes, when you save a project you can choose fbp6 (uncompressed xml) or fbz6 (compressed xml). You can also choose the default format in the options dialog.
