Hi all,
Using 2.25, revision 221c5d8 (Wed morning), Chrome
I just wanted to report a bug in the XML export / import for Program Rules:
· When you export XML for a program rule, ‘&&’ operators are kept as plain-text in the XML that is exported.
· When you re-import this XML, it crashes with the following log:
Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected character ‘&’ (code 38) (expected a name start character)
If converted to character codes (‘& &’) they import fine, so I’m guessing the export routine just needs to be updated to convert them on export.
This is a blocker because the ‘and’ variant doesn’t seem to work for Program Rules (they fail to fire), so you are tied to using ‘&&’ in expressions.
Cheers, Sam.

Hm ok, thanks Sam, I will look into it (it should have been encoded automatically)

Many thanks.
BTW, I reported this via the email forum, as I’m still not sure where to formally report bugs – should we still be using Launchpad, or are you switching over to GitHub? There seem to be recent issues listed on both sites… which one will get noticed more quickly?
Cheers, Sam.
