XML Format

[sledwith]

Sorry in advance if this question has already been answered, but I can't find anything definite in the forums.

Is there an "Export to XML" function? I'm using 5.2, and I don't see the ability to export to XML anywhere.

I did see a couple of other posts that mention that and XML export is "being worked on", so if its there, and I need to RTFM, please let me know.

Thanks!

A user of OrangeCD already created a export template who creates a xml file.

I think it's ok when I post it here, because the website isn't reachable.

Here's the dax file:

/*

SETTINGS["Settings"] {
THUMBSIZE["Thumbnail size (16)"] : int = 16;
COVERSIZE["Cover size (170)"] : int = 170;
GROUPBY["Grouping field"] : field = artistsort;
}
