Bundles

Move one resume between devices as a zip that keeps its style, CSS, images and fonts, what is inside, how it is checked on import, and when it can differ.

View as Markdown

A bundle is one resume with everything it needs to look the same somewhere else: the content, the template, the style settings, your CSS, and the images and fonts it uses, as the files they are. It is the one export that reads back to the same resume.

Making one

Two ways, and both write the same file:

  • In the editor, choose Export, then Bundle (.zip).
  • In the library, open a card's menu with More and choose Export as zip.

The file is named after the resume and ends in .zip.

What is inside

FileWhat it is
manifest.jsonWhat the file is, its format number, and the revision of the template that drew it.
resume.jsonThe resume's name, the document, and a record for each image and font.
images/The images the resume uses, exactly as they were stored.
fonts/The fonts you uploaded that the resume uses.
resume.mdA copy of the Markdown to read. It is never read back in.

Only what the resume refers to goes in, so a bundle is the size of the resume and not of your whole gallery. The three built-in typefaces are not included, because every copy of Rejarsume has them. If the resume was written for a job, that is recorded too.

A zip opens in any archive tool, so you can see exactly what leaves your device.

Importing one

In the new resume dialog, under Import a file, choose the .zip. Rejarsume recognises it as a bundle by its first bytes and not by its name. See Make a new resume.

A bundle always makes a new resume. It never replaces one, and importing the same bundle twice gives two resumes. The images and fonts are matched by content to the ones already on the device, so a photograph you already have is reused and not stored again.

The bundle keeps its own template and style, so the Template you chose in the dialog is not used for it.

How it is checked

A bundle is a file from outside, so it is read completely and checked before anything is written. If anything is wrong, you get a message saying what, and nothing is added. A bundle is refused when:

  • it is not a zip, or it is a zip that is not a Rejarsume bundle;
  • it was written by a newer version of Rejarsume than the one you have, in which case the message says to update first;
  • the resume inside is not valid, or a file it lists is missing;
  • an image or font cannot be read as one, or an image does not match the checksum recorded for it, which means it is damaged;
  • it is larger than 100 MB when unpacked, holds a file over 25 MB, or holds more than 500 files, which no resume does.

An older bundle is brought up to date as it is read.

When it can look different

A bundle looks the same on arrival while the template's design is unchanged. Each template has a revision number, and the bundle records the one that drew the resume. If this version of Rejarsume has a newer revision of that template, the dialog tells you the two revisions and warns that a page may break differently from the original. The resume is complete either way, and it opens.

Bundle or backup

A bundle is one resume, meant to be moved. A backup is the whole device, meant to be kept. They are different files. See Backup and restore.
