XML "wysiwyg" editor ?

Post by norti » 2004-04-25 07:40

Is there an editor for xml files with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface? I mean, I would like to edit my queue.xml the way I see it in the download queue window in dc, but I need more options, eg. move dirs to another dir with dragging it or someeasier way than. Or something that can prevent, that I download a file 5 times queued from different users placed another dirs in my queue?

Anyone a solution?

I think you'll have to stuck edit it manually then as how the xml file is read is up to the program using it ( I think ).

I know that VS.net has an XML editor built in. It offers two views, one for the raw XML, and the other for an excel like data table. Perhaps that's what you're looking for?

Well, there's really not any WYSIWYG editor for XML files. And especially not for DC++'s queue XML. Except for DC++ itself. :wink:

I tried the VS data view, but helped not much. Then thank you guys, I'll have now plenty work for the future :D

Would it be possible to make a drag-and-drop interface for the queue in DC itself?

Yes, that's within the realm of possibility. :)

The CVS code has drag-and-drop into the Sharing dialog in settings, that can be looked at if you try to code it yourself. I also have (or can dig up the bug number) a patch that implements drag and drop (though of a different sort - it's a rejected feature) in the download queue.
