Manually edited strings.xml gets overwritten

[membersound]

I'd like to apply some manual changes to data\temp\apk-icon-editor\apk\res\values\strings.xml.

I'm trying as follows:

open apk with the tool
change strings.xml and safe
create apk with the tool.

As a result, my manually changed file is always restored by apk-editor, and my changes are not packaged into the final apk.

What am I doing wrong? It manual editing not supported?

Do you change your application title via APK Icon Editor Translations tab? If yes, then APK Icon Editor will overwrite the xml files containing the app title translations right before packaging APK.

Oh ok I see. So it's acutally a feature. Yes I'm using that additionally. It worked when ignoring the tab!

Actually, this can be considered as an unwanted behavior, so I'll mark it as a bug and reopen the issue. BTW, you may also try out APK Editor Studio which provides more consistent app editing flow.
