It will be a directory structure kind of system. Things like presets, patterns, etc will still be human readible textfiles (probably XML). However, instead of one huge file it will have the resources as individual files. So, any presets used will be in a presets/ subdirectory and will be referenced by the file defining the song (for example). This also opens the door to us allowing users to save wav files and stuff directly into the project. Of course, the project format can optionally be a zip file as well, allowing for simple sharing of a song. Another cool thing to try in the future, will be managing revisions of a song by initializing a git repo on the project's directory structure itself ;) Oh, and project doesn't necessarily mean "song". A project may contain a song, and many presets. Or a project could be a single preset, or drum-pattern, etc.. At least that is my current thinking. > pgib that might be somethign to consider actually using xml files to tweak > settings. is that something that has already been done or is on the to do > list? Tweak what kind of settings? Program settings and user preferences?
