Hi,
I export all my studies in a date/time stamped archive to a specific backup directory fairly often. I was exporting them and it was putting .pla on that end only. I always assumed this meant "Power Language Archive". So now for some reason it is tagging .xml on the end rather than .pla. I am just curious as to why it is choosing .xml rather than .pla
Thanks,
John
Why is .xml put on the export. [SOLVED]

Hello John,
it looks like you have selected XML file in "Save as type" fields upon study export. You can change it back to PLA.

Thanks Henry. I should have noticed that. I will make sure it stays pla now.
Still curious I went to the wiki to see why one might want to export as xml and I found nothing. So I went to the google to get info on xml. I know html since I taught myself to program a mysql database driven website 2 years ago. I read a bit about xml but never learned it. I was wondering if xml is used for the MC.net studies since I seem to remember reading you could use some web based stuff in MC.net (buttons on a chart, etc).

John,
Originally studies were stored in plain xml files. Pla is the wrapper for the xml file for ease of using it with PLEditor.
