I just recently started a project and a crucial point for any software I use is interoperability/portability of my data. So I was very happy to read about the REFI-QDA standard for exporting (https://www.qdasoftware.org/).
However, I tried to export my project under Start --> Save project as (as described here: https://www.maxqda.de/hilfe-max18/reports/refi-qda-project-exchange)
However, when I tried to open the file with a text editor (Atom) it only shows jibberish. I also can't import the file into R (I managed to import other xml-files successfully). From my understanding, as the .qdpx files are also supposedly xml-files, I should be able to open and read them with my editor and R.
If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to use another software for my research.
Any help with this is highly appreciated.
I'm using MAXQDA Plus 2018, Release 18.2.3
Version: MAXQDA 2018
System: Windows 10
