Model version number changes in model/folder.xml

Open Phillipus opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Opening this issue so we can have a think about it.

  • When Archi saves a model, the current metamodel version number is written to the *.archimate file as a version attribute.
  • When using the collaboration plug-in, the grafico exporter will export this info to the model/folder.xml file
  • Now there will be a difference in version numbers and the user will be asked to commit but they won't know why
  • Even if they "abort" changes it will still happen each time the model is saved and exported to grafico.

This "invisible" change will also happen when there are changes in the metamodel that require backward-compatibility changes. For example, in Archi 4.4, Grouping will need to set the default text alignment to left rather than centre on loading the model. This will require a commit too.
