  1. And there is more to the right tree. If you click on the right mouse button within that panel you will se all the possibilities: list of all elements, directory tree, jpg file with the name of left selected node (if there is one), from which ju can drag and drop hot spots into the left tree, special characters, colours and more ...
  2. By the way, I really can't grasp the concept of the right tree. What's the idea?Sorry, I forgot to answer this one. The right tree contains always the model of the definition and type of the selected node in the left tree. It is supposed to be one of the most important features, which is enabling you to drag and drop into the left tree only the nodes from the right model definition (DTD or schema). Try an examlpe of XML with DTD or schema and you will see what is in the right tree. Only those nodes and items which are allowed in the left selected node.
  3. Thank you very much for your comments. We will certainly address many of them. I will just briefly reply on few.1. Agreed.2. We are planning to support more validators and we will try to accomodate other versions of MSXML (at least I don't see a reason why it should be a problem). And to suppress the message will be really easy to fix.3. Agreed.4. We are planning in a very near future to fully aupport schema editing. You are right, for now they are treated as an XML document only. 5. Good point. In this realease we do not allow editing of unwellformed text, which is a problem if you want to create XML file from a text.6. Agreed. The text window should be more strict. It does allow you to enter even "&" but in that case at least will idicate that it is wrong.7. You can shrink (by dragging the borders) the text window to almost any size you wish. But to add another window with more info about the selected node is probably a good idea. The text window is possible to increase to bigger size as well in order to edit big text under the selected node. If it contains other elements you can use (right click in the text window) "Subtree tagged text" mode and drag elements directly into the text to create the markups in the text.8. This is I believe partially addressed with the "Subtree tagged text" mode. But we will certainly think about it to make it better.For XSLT we plan to create our own schemas plus some other features. There is a schema XSLT available on the web which can be used with our XEntrant to edit XSLT-s but it is too convoluted and complex for a common user to use it easily.Thanks again for your very professional and to the point comments. We will try to address most if not all of them.
  4. Thanks a lot for the honest comment. It is the first version and there is still a lot to be done. We are working on new features and the performance with really big files for the next release. And yes, it is more GUI than text. I am more GUI guy.:-)But the GUI is quite simple, just python with Tk, nothing fancy. We tried to focus more on the browsing and editing functionality. If you try it, I would be glad to know your opinion, however negative it might be. Thanks again.
  5. So far no objections. I hope nobody will feel offended if I mention it. It is an XML Tree Editor XEntrant. It alows you to browse and edit XML instances, DTDs and XML Schemas. If you select a node, you see its model type definition with all inherited information, which is useful particularly for beginners. It has a prevalidation feature, which does not allow unexperienced users to drag and drop elements where they do not belong. You can learn about other interesting features as well on the site http://www.treestages.com. Read "Getting Started" and eventually you can download it (5.3 MB only).
  6. Is that considered to be an advertisement and against the rules of the forum if it is free and in my opinion might be a useful XML tool for XML novices?Thanks
