Hi,

since recently I have the issue with a certain file that it can't save to XML/MS Project anymore: it goes to 80-90% completion and stands there for ever, I can cancel but the resulting XML file is around a 10th of the size it used to be before the problem appeared.
I've opened the culprit file (can't send it, customer project), saved it (there you'll see already some error messages, but without consequence) and then saved it as .xml file, with more error messages and the above behavior.
It's rather critical because the ability to export as MS Project was one of the main arguments for using ProjectLibre in the first place.
Trying to remember what I did differently than in the past with this file, I guess I did modify the calendar of one of the members ("Bob Consult" in the incomplete XML file I'll attach), adding a non-working day as holiday.

Let me know what I can do to help fix the issue, I'm really in a mess,
Thanks, Eric

    Just noticed that the XML file is also at the end of the .pod file, and it is incomplete as well there, but it doesn't seem to have an impact (cross fingers!)

    Hi,

    I just found out what the issue was: if there is a baseline, saving as XML MS Project doesn't work, clearing the baseline solves the issue (kind of, the baseline feature isn't usable).

    Do you think you can fix it quite quickly?

    Thanks, Eric
