If you set a data property beginning with (and longer than) "xml_retain" on the service connected to this consumer where the data is a mlt_service pointer, then the pointed at service will also be serialized before the connected service. This can be useful, for example, to save a playlist as a media bin along with a multitrack. You can serialize more than one of these additional services by setting more than property, each with a unique key beginning with "xml_retain".
title: File
description:
The name of a file in which to store the XML. If the value does not contain a period (to start an extension), then the value is interpreted as the name of a property in which to store the XML. This makes it easy for an application to use the consumer to serialize a service network and retrieve the XML in-memory.

widget: fileopen
title: Process all frames
description:
Without this option, the XML consumer does not process any frames and simply serializes the service network. However, some filters (.e.g, vid.stab) require two passes where the first pass performs some analysis and stores the result in a property. Therefore, set this property to 1 (true) to cause the consumer to process all frames before serializing to XML.
