Hi Brave, work. and like the configurable decoders.

I read some of your conversation about the xtract, but I'm intrested in is how vcs output is improved? the TextConv plugin is mad useful.

I'm looking to improve the huge diffs, seemingly due to Report/Layout Sections being moved or rearranged?? I Would like to get a fix for that.

Plus the GUID's used in the reports it seems they need to be updated and agree if copying a section from 1 pbit to another. Otherwise "Invalid Format" attempting to load.

Again, thanks for the great port!

The main thing I've done is write the extracted xml/json to the output stream for textconv to take advantage of. This doesn't help with the merges, but but does give the user an idea of how significant the files are, and to a lesser degree, where to look for them in the files.

The best way to improve the diffs would probably be to provide a summary of the information contained in a readable format, but I'm not sure what that would look like.

To do proper merging will require a custom tool to be made, but I still need to sort out an issue I'm having rebuilding the pbit zip file.
