I couldn't find an answer in the help, so I'll ask here:

I'm using a WorkspaceRunner to call a sub-project. And now I'd like to all save the project as .fme files before handing it on. But how does it work with WorkspaceRunner and .fme files? When configuring the WorkspaceRunner, it seems to be ok with a linked .fme file, but the parameters are not displayed in order to configure them. Is there a way to call and configure .fme projects within WorkspaceRunner? Or do I have to stick with .fmw for the sup-project?

Is there a particular reason for wanting to save your project as .fme rather than .fmw?

If it is to protect against modifications, you can protect your fmw with a password:
