It would be nice to have an option to save configuration file in an XML format.

What sort of configuration file? The FinalBuilder project files are already in XML (choose save as ‘fbap5’ rather than ‘fbz5’).

Duh, missed that since it says "uncompressed..." and it doesn't mention XML.
And it is actually .fbp5, not fbap5
But yes, this is what I was asking for.

Hi Miha,
Glad you got it working. If you’re interested, there’s a blog post about the various formats that FinalBuilder files use, here:

(The blog format is a bit ugly, we need to tweak the stylesheet a bit to suit our new website layout.)
Regards,
Angus
