Well, JPR's as always makes a good response! But, I still need to fully understand exactly why 4D is not eliminating the interpreted structure binary .4DB file completely at this time? Maybe 4D plan to do so eventually? Was this question asked at the last tour? If we are given the Project feature then we should be all in and have no option but to embrace it and source code repos such as Git, since, pretty much every other programming language is doing it this way.

It is still possible to compile back to a single binary though so the step to go from Project to interpreted structure binary should surely be possible?? This was asked to JPR at the last 4D World Tour show and his response was “why would you want to do that?” And then he proceeded to explain that to implement a feature like that would require many hours of engineering time, and QA time and then it would have to be maintained into the future. So he said are no plans for a “project folder back to a single .4DB file” feature. Only way to have the happen is to convince 4D it is a needed and necessary feature.
