I'm using PL 1.5.1.

I use the XML export to enable further processing of project data (with Python and  xml.etree.ElementTree).  I noticed that summary tasks aren't being correctly tagged.  For example consider the two following <Task> items in an XML export.  Task 3 is a subtask of task 2; their outline numbers are 2 and 2.1 respectively.  PL properly displays task 2 as a summary, but in the export, both tasks have <Summary>0</Summary>.  If I import to MS project, this still works, though MS Project's export sets <Summary>1</Summary> for all the summary tasks (tasks where another task exists having an OutlineNumber subordinate to the task).  In other words, MS Project exports correctly, but PL does not. PL appears to always export every Task with <Summary>0</Summary>, no matter what.

In the pasted-in XML excerpt, I've snipped some segments for clarity and to keep this post a reasonable length.

This seems like a straightforward bug-fix, yes?

I am running on Mac and when I saved a new baseline it stopped working.  Any ideas?

I am very happy with ProjectLibre and looking for the new release (any final date yet?)

Meanwhile I noticed a strange behaviour with XML Import/Export.

1. I setup a project and exported into XML. Then I imported that XML and:

  - The resource cost was changed from 50 $/day to 50 $/hour.

  - The resource structure was flattened - all at the same level.

2. Same as before, but this time I edited the XML file (changed the currency $ symbol). When importing it totally ignored this change. So either we use USD or USD.

Thanks

I am not sure the issue.... it looks like it was changing your rate on the xml export.  I have not seen that,  The new release date has not been announced.
