The export roster also allows you to make copies as backups of the roster for storage on thumb drives, the cloud, etc. Imagine that?, someone making a backup file of their important information. What will the world think of next!?!?!

Well
I guess it allows an entire roster (and all components) to be
coped from one place to another as ONE file. Much easier than
manipulating all the individual files
Oh, and if you're trying to import the roster OVERVIEW into
Excel, are you aware that Excel can open xml files? It doesn't
always do the best job, but what it does do may be sufficient for
what you need
In fact, what exactly is it that you are wanting to do??

All,

DecoderPro's File - Export Complete Roster appears to make a
.zip file, with .xml files for the complete roster and each
individual loco entry in a Roster subdirectory.

The purpose of this is unclear as it appears to be usable
only to the corresponding DecoderPro File - Import Complete
Roster. In which case, why not just copy the native files?

The individual Loco File - Export can make a .csv file, but
only includes actual CVs. The Roster Tab info is not included.
Too bad.

Perhaps someone with knowledge can share the thinking behind
this coding?
