Wish bal -> xml or some other format in the back end

I just popped open a .bal file and It looks like a binary serialized object at a glance.

If there's any way to save it in text we can search and replace like xml (your own, not android's xml style), it would be easier to do some things that I have to do that are a bit crazy like replacing 20 imageviews, 20 labels one by one with touchimageview.

Maybe if its possible in the designer that would be great as well.

I would like to use the designer tool to design XML layouts for my Eclipse Android projects. Export to XML would be perfect for this.

In another thread (a question thread) you mentioned that bal files are more complicated than XML files, especially when designer scripts are involved. I would actually be happy with losing some information in an export, or to work within some restrictions in the designer to keep a clean XML export possible.

Just my 2 cents/wish.

Thanks for a great product Erel!

I have to rename a lot of components : it will be more easy to work in a text file.

If you do not want to store in text format, just export and import
