.TH ROSEGARDEN-PROJECT-PACKAGE 1 "10 February 2006"
.SH NAME
rosegarden-project-package - converts between Rosegarden (.rg) files
and Rosegarden Project (.rgp) files.
.SH SYNOPSIS
orosegarden-project-package [--quiet] [--pack] [--unpack] [--conftest] [FILE] [.rg|.rgp]
.SH OPTIONS
.BR \-\-quiet " " Be silent
.BR \-\-unpack " " Unpack .rgp file
.BR \-\-pack " " Pack .rg file plus associated external data files into .rgp file
.BR \-\-conftest " " Test environment for necessary installed components
.SH DESCRIPTION
This program converts between Rosegarden (.rg) files and Rosegarden
Project (.rgp) files. It is primarily intended to be used internally and
transparently by the Rosegarden application.
A Rosegarden file (.rg) is a single file (in gzipped XML format)
that defines a Rosegarden composition in terms of events, segments,
programs, plugin data, references to audio files, and so on. Some
of these types of information depend on the presence of external
files such as the audio files or plugin preset data, without which
the file cannot be used.
A Rosegarden Project (.rgp) file is a bundle of files, including the
Rosegarden file itself, as well as any audio file or other external
data it requires, in compressed form. A Rosegarden Project file is
intended to be portable and self-contained, but the Rosegarden
program itself does not (at the time of writing) understand these
files directly.
This program can take a Rosegarden file, examine it to find out
which other data files it uses, and pack it to create the
corresponding Rosegarden Project file. Conversely, it can also take
a Rosegarden Project file and unpack it as a project directory for
use with Rosegarden.
.SH REQUIREMENTS
