I am storing pureref together with external references in a git repository.

I would love to see to have the option to store the *.pur file in a vcs friendly format:
- (more important) using relative paths
- (less important) optionally in an ascii format (XML, INI, JSON, CSV, ...)

Suggestion for a simple way to integrate this without bloating up the application:

The save scene as dialog could have two entries in the File Type Dropdown menu:
- "PureRef Scene (*.pur)"
- "PureRef XML Scene (*.pur_xml)"

This could be useful indeed and is something we would like to look into. There is however one more issue to consider: How would you handle embeded images? Should they just be a data blob in between the ascii? This would be needed for pasted images and, at the moment, images from a remote source.

Other than that PureRef is already storing the links in a format where you know the relative path.

Yes, adding a second save format could be an easy way to add this feature. Thank you for the suggestions!
