'Save SubReport To File' saves the subreport in binary format to file

jeroenrottink

Hi,

When in the designer a report is saved to file, the format is changed to ftAscii by TppDesignDocumentController.SaveFile.
When a subreport is saved using 'Save SubReport To File' the format is not changed and the default ftBinary is used.
I would prefer the subreport also in ascii format when saved to file without changing the template settings for the subreport myself.

Using RB21.01/Delphi 10.4

Found an easy solution.

procedure TmyEndUserSolution.ppDesigner1CustomSaveDoc(Sender: TObject);
var
  lFormat: TppFormatType;
  lReport: TppCustomReport;
begin
  lReport := TppCustomReport(Sender);
  lFormat := lReport.Template.Format;
  try
    if (lReport.Template.SaveTo = stFile)
    then begin
      // always ascii
      lReport.Template.Format := ftASCII;
    end
    // save report template
    lReport.Template.Save;
  finally
    lReport.Template.Format := lFormat;
  end;
end;

Hi Jeroen,

I created a patch for RB 21.02 that resolves the issue.

I emailed you the patch.
