Absence of resources in export files not available in Version 3.1.3100

GanttProject Desktop Support
1

Dear Sir or Madam,

thank you for your great tool GanttProject. I tested the Version 3.1.3100 and would like to attract attention to the following points.

  1. When I export a GanttProject .gan file to .csv file, no information about the absence of the resources are exported.
  2. As I export to MS-Project .xml and import this file, the resources are only absence on the first day and not of the hole vacation.
  3. Export to MS-Project .mpx file, the import does not work.

Please inform me about a solution of these software bugs. Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Michael Grösel

I assume that “absence of the resources” means “days off” which are defined for each resource in their properties.

I submitted these issues to the issue tracker. You can subscribe to receive notifications using GitHub.

What do you mean when you say “does not work”? I just have tried exporting House Building Sample project to MPX and importing the result back. It works fine.

Dear Dmitry,

thank you for your message. Followed error occur when I import the exported .mpx file.
Error reading file (failed at line 13)
Failed to parse date time
Unparsable date “Fr. 28.01.22”

When I import the exported .xml Microsoft Project file, the days off from 01.03.-02.04. of the resources import only the first day 01.03. It seems that the .xml is right, see followed cutout.

Please change the .txt to .mpx, because your forum do not want to upload .mpx files.

What happens if you choose “English” in the dropdown “Choose MPX language” when exporting? Will it import back fine?

Dear Dmitry,

thank you for your message. When I change the export language for .mpx file to English, the import works. Also, the resources days off works with splitting the vacation in each day. But the earliest begin time is not including. With this knowledge you solved my problem to export files with absence of resources, days off. Thank you.

Best regards
