Magneto Studio® allows project recording in a simple and readable way even when not using the tool. This choice is particularly interesting when project management is subject to strong constraints of sharing, traceability, archiving, etc.
Similarly, and for the same reasons, the management of external or user software (source codes, libraries) is clearly localized and separated from the files needed for the embedded HMI engine.
The project structure is saved in a file with the extension ".mgt". If you open this file with a text editor or with Magneto Studio® (button "Editor" in the toolbar, area 4), you will find the description of the elements that make up your project i.e. images, shapes, multimedia objects, as well as their attributes. The actual resources of the project are stored in folders at the root of the project such as "Images" or "Shapes". If you integrate your own software developments into your application, you will find files (in C language) and/or directories reserved for programming files and binary libraries.
The advantage of a recording like this is that you can easily understand and modify certain elements by hand without going through Magneto Studio®.
