Does SquareLine read project.info?

Does SquareLine Studio ever need to read project.info?

SquareLine.info contains date-times and usernames, so it would create a lot of churn and simple conflicts in git. Is it ok to exclude this file from version control? Basically, if SquareLine only writes it, I’ll ignore it in git to make working with multiple developers simpler.

Edit: also, cool startup screen in 1.6.0!

Hi, SquareLine Studio doesn’t read project.info at all, it only writes it. The reason this file exists is that the same metadata (timestamps and usernames) is also included during export into the ui folder, so when multiple developers use Studio and export from the same project, it’s easy to identify who exported and when. Because of that, it’s totally fine to add project.info to your .gitignore to avoid unnecessary churn and merge conflicts. Thanks for the nice words about the 1.6.0 startup screen too! :slight_smile:
