I was very encouraged in an initial experiment with VCF to see that
it seemed to support encrypted and external classes.
However, as soon as I converted my main project I was unable to
reopen it because of the bug described below.
Save as Version Control overwrites encrypted
externals where there is a subclass relationship and breaks them for use
either in that or any other project using those classes.
Even more nastily, it doesn't warn you it is going to overwrite files!
http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=rggsvwyj
has the files attached for the following steps.
--------
I started with the 1.TestVCFormatOriginal.rbp where all the classes
were included.
Next I made the two classes AParent and ASub external.
The project saves, reopens and validates OK, see
2.TestVCFormatWithExternals.rbp
----
copy the working files from 2.TestVCFormatWithExternals.rbp to "OK
prior overwrite"
---
Now save 2.TestVCFormatWithExternals.rbp to Version Control Format ->
3.TestVCFormatWithExternals.rbvcp
After the Save As it validates OK
reopen 2.TestVCFormatWithExternals.rbp and it still validates OK.
---
Introducing Encryption into the scenario:
Go back to 1.TestVCFormatOriginal.rbp and create
4.TestVCFormatWithEncrypted.rbp
with the little classes renamed encParent and encSub and encrupted
(password is "demo")
Make those encrypted classes external ->
5.TestVCFormatWithEncryptedExternals.rbp
----
copy the working files from 5.TestVCFormatWithEncryptedExternals.rbp
to "OK prior overwrite"
---
*** the fateful save!
save 5.TestVCFormatWithEncryptedExternals.rbp as Version Control
Format. ->
5.TestVCFormatWithEncryptedExternals.vcp
- validates OK after the save
- on reopen, error "The external item encParent is references another
external item..."
- try reopening 5.TestVCFormatWithEncryptedExternals.rbp - same error
-------------

project like this (from an earlier run)
