SV2XML by Joshua (Undead Mage - Geistlos on Garona) email: abusement@imtraum.com

Description:
The World of Warcraft Saved Variables XML converter was created to make parsing the Saved Variable data from the Addons of World of Warcraft much simpler by converting the files to XML format that is easier to consume from applications other than World of Warcraft.

Please email any bugs or suggestions to me at abusement@imtraum.com

Requirements:
You must have the .NET 2.0 framework installed on your computer. You can download this at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en

Usage:
Opening and Converting a file:
Simply click on File --> Open Addon to select the saved variables file that you want to convert. The file will then be parsed and converted to XML format and presented for you to copy/paste into your own application or text document/editor. Note that large files can take a while to open.

Saving as XML:
Once a file has been converted you can:
click File --> Save to save the converted XML to the same path and file name as the saved variables file with the files extension replaced by .xml. Example: autobar.lua becomes autobar.xml.
click File --> Save As to save the converted XML to a filename and path of your choosing.

Known Issues:
- With very large addon files there may be a delay between the actual file parsing and its display in the main document display window. This is due to the large amount of data being printed to the window and performance will be highly dependant on your hardware.
- The multi-threading that handles the document parsing needs additional testing. If the application hangs please let me know so I can do further investigation.

Future Plans:
- Make the paths for output xml files as well as the default path to WoW configurable.
- Enhance error handling for open and save operations.
- Create a nice application icon.
- Change the art on the about page.
- Use indented xml formatting in the text display window.
- Optimize memory usage in the parsing engine.
