In OmniGraffle 4.2 and up, the flat file/bundle file preference is set on a per-document basis in the Inspector under the Document preferences, since while the OmniGraffle program default will be modified, OmniGraffle always seems to take on the file format specified in the template that is used to create your new document. Looking in the preference pane for OmniGraffle, there is a Templates tab, and under this is an entry for APPWRAPPER. By going to the OmniGraffle application bundle, right-clicking, and selecting "Show Package Contents", you can see inside the app (the app bundle is apparently what APPWRAPPER stands for). Navigating within the application bundle to Contents => Resources => Templates, you will find a set of OmniGraffle documents that are used as your default document templates. If you open a template document, open the Inspector, go to the Document settings, and set the template document's File Format option to "Save as flat file", then save the template, then all new OmniGraffle documents created from that template will also have their default preference set to "Save as flat file" since the template's preference has been set to that setting. Hope this helps. Thanks, - max Using the default setting from the command line didn’t work for me, so I had to figure this out.

(You no longer have to go hunting for that hidden default!) Hope this helps!

I'm having trouble converting existing files, though. Even resaving an existing file as a new one doesn't change the file from a package back to a single file. I actually have to create a new file and manually drag the pages into the new file and save that. Anyone have any luck with this? Also, one note: Make sure you convert your template files to single files. If they are packages, then when you create a new file from a template, it will start out as a package.

I just upgraded to the most recent Pro version and started creating new diagrams for a project at work. I went to check them into our Subversion repository and.... crap. My "graffle" files were now directories and the Icon file has a carriage return in its name. Subversion not so happy. Fortunately I'm not the first to have encountered this. Here's a note from David Glasser's blogJust type the following line in your terminal: defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniGraffle PrivateGraffleFlatFile 0 (Or if you run OmniGraffle Pro, you apparently should do defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniGrafflePro PrivateGraffleFlatFile 0 This will make OmniGraffle make all future files as the flat-file format and never sneakily turn into bundle format. Hooray! ..and there are numerous threads about this if you Google them out. I haven't tried this tip yet, but wanted to get it into the blog before I forget it.
