Do we support importing codesys'.library 'library files, or other similar library files?

Hello, I can't seem to find a way to import codesys library files, or other similar library files. Do we have a plan to support. Are there copyright issues with this?

Just a watcher here but

there would be no "copyright" issues.

But codesys .libraries are binary packs. To even start building a converter, you would start with one for their xml export format.

However next year codesys is going to release a brand new project format that is a plain text folder structure. So I don't know why they would even try to build anything until that point.

Further you are going to loose project items that use closed source features of codesys such, as visu, localization, persistent, and call in to codeys libraries except the standard library.

You are never going to have a simple one to one compatiblity with everything.

@TheColonel2688 is right here, the format is a binary format, and i'm not sure if also embeds pre-compiled code when it comes to third party libraries. The best we could do here is use the xml exchange format (PLC Open XML or IEC61131-10), or use the git/svn persistence format codesys offers to transfer the source.
The new plain text format would be good to help transfer sources/libraries indeed.
