Hi, If you realy want to simplify your work with Propel XML files, you could try ORM Designer (http://www.orm-designer.com). It’s a fully visual ERD editor with native support for Propel ORM framework (also for Doctrine, CakePHP,…). You can design all objects and attributes in ORMD and then simply press “Export” and all propel.xml files will be generated

[...] And that with fairly basic models. For me, this makes Workbench nearly pointless. (Fortunatly I can convert the model to a propel schema for use in PHP and let propel generate the tables. – Propel works better in that regard because it [...]

Unfortunatly they still did not document the plugin interface, so I am still stuck with the suboptimal solution I use.
If you are interested in the XSL I could send it to you…

Hi there,

that sounds really interesting, I’m missing exactly the same functionality in Workbench to export Propel schemas. Though my favour is Symfony…

Great job.
