Hey let's start another VFP thread here. I just noticed that Doug Henning released an update a few days ago for ProjectExplorer (and if you don't know what PEx is and you actively develop in VFP you should) which adds the ability to use different converters for VFP binaries. I've been using FoxBin2PRG in a Bitbucket environment with no significant issues for a while but am curious about the collective experience.
Talk amongst ourselves...

I use FoxBin2Prg with git and Beyond Compare but I also store my binaries in git so I rarely if ever go from text back to bin. I am afraid of it but it would be nice if it was dependable. Maybe it is and I just didn't get the memo. -Jeff

I've had no issues with doing just that, Jeff. Works a treat. In some cases I found it more efficient to edit the text files and gen new binaries then using the IDE GUI to edit.

Thanks for the info guys. I will give depending on the text to binary conversion a shot then. I believe that would fit my workflow better most of the time as well. -Jeff

I use FoxBin2Prg with git.
From time to time, when I'm reviewing what needs to be committed I notice
the order of objects change. If I open the form and close it with CTRL+W, the order is switched back. I haven't researched why it does it. When it isn't caught the update is bigger, and doing code reviews is something else that needs to be looked at and questioned.
I'm using v1.19.64 currently.
I'm fairly happy with the process.
Tracy
