Existing diagrams XML version is not unpacked initially

[koying]

I understand draw.io saves its xml source as compressed XML.

2 questions actually:

1. Is it by design that an existing drawing, created with draw.io, doesn't have its xml initially unpacked when viewed as text?
2. Is it by design that the XML view has a drawio file type rather than XML, by default?

Thanks

Hi there!

Which version of the extension do you use?

[koying]

Hi. Latest from vs store, v1.2.0

Is it by design that an existing drawing, created with draw.io, doesn't have its xml initially unpacked when viewed as text?

There once was a bug that draw.io file created in VS Code with this extension had this behavior, but I thought I fixed it. All .drawio/.dio files created with this extension should be decompressed.

If you use the official draw.io website/desktop app, you can configure whether you want to compress or not.

Is it by design that the XML view has a drawio file type rather than XML, by default?

Which xml view do you mean? Draw.io are usually xml documents, saved as *.dio or *.drawio file, so that editors can recognize such files.

I mean this: https://github.com/hediet/vscode-drawio#editing-the-diagram-and-its-xml-side-by-side In the GIF, the xml view has the "XML" type

By me, it is a "drawio" type, with no xml capabilities, ie plain text, by default
