Hi Maybe you do not consider this to be a bug. However, I am using KNIME with Subversion and adding my projects, I usually get a bunch of errors because the settings files have inconsistent line ending style. It is very time-consuming to fix this. ![grafik](https://forum-cdn.knime.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/1/3115a0abee6214d6ef869d719b6cdcc0e78f86f4.png) Kind regards Thiemo ---

It also happens with other xml files like spec.xml ---

Hi Thiemo, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have forwarded your feedback to development. We’ll try find a quick fix, but no promises. Would you happen to have any further details for the analysis/reproduction? E.g. - Does this occur iff you work with KNIME installations across operating systems? - Are you able to share simple steps (and/or workflows) to reproduce such an issue? - Does the issue only occur in one direction (e.g. only `\r\n` being added to documents otherwise using Unix-style line endings)? Kind regards Marvin ---

Hi @marvin_kickuth Thanks for taking this up. - I have been working on Windows only with KNIME the last weeks, wo I cannot tell anything about cross-os issue. However, I had this problem with stuff downloaded for your courses. I am currently working on L3-CD. - I presume, you should find this behaviour when you drag and drop course exercises, I discovered it at L1-DS and L2-DS is affected too, into KNIME on Windows (10). You also can have a look at the attached screen capture. [redacted] - I did not do any research on which line break was prevailing, but I feel there are more windows style line breaks within. Kind regards Thiemo ---

@Thiemo.Kellner do you by any chance have your knime workspace on a folder that uses Microsoft OneDrive. ---

@mlauber71 Not that I know of. I hope, I could successfully deactivate OneDrive. ---
