Hi,
unfortunately yes - the XML format is the only way :(
You can either use the script I provided, or simply use File -> Export
from the MLO menu.
So far, I've only encountered two problems with the script:
1. The export fails to run because the "Allow multiple instances"
option is not on.
2. On Windows 7 the enhanced security settings prevent regular users
from accessing certain folders. You can either try to avoid them, run
the script as admin, or lower the security settings.
Best regards,
Frenya
