Robert and I discussed three possible ways forward: simplest: Put the HTML export into the Leap2A folder so that we still only have one record. medium: Put the HTML export into the Leap2A folder and have Leap2A ignore all those files when the folder is uploaded back to Mahara.
Both of these scenarios would store the files twice as the exports are essentially still regarded as separate. Best solution: Merge both HTML and Leap2A exports so that both HTML and Leap2A access the "files" folder and when a Leap2A is imported back into Mahara, the HTML export files are ignored. We would also merge the two export formats on the Portfolio -> Export screen as users would simply make an export. If they upload it again to Mahara, the XML file would be used and all HTML-export related items ignored. And if the HTML version is wanted, the XML file is simply ignored. For this scenario, we might also need to look into the exporting of comments and if they still behave differently for Leap2A or not. The solution would be the best as files would only be exported once. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Currently, an archive is always a Leap2A file. The idea behind it was that the portfolio can be imported back into Mahara later on for users to continue working on it. Shane Nuessler mentioned that he has problems importing a Leap2A file from an older version into a newer version of Mahara. That's another issue to look into, but shows that Leap2A may not be the best format to have for longevity. HTML files can be opened by any browser and thus are more independent of the current Mahara site being used. So it really depends on what you want to do with the archived submissions: Do you want to keep it as a record for a long time or do you want students to be able to import it back into their portfolios if needed. Thus, it would be good if the group admin could decide to either archive in HTML or in Leap2A.
