Hello,
In the GUI, is there any way to set the query context to an XML file that has an extension other than .xml ?
Renaming the file works, obviously, but this isn't ideal, as the source of the data exports to and imports from another extension.
Also, is it possible to enable syntax highlighting for XML files without changing the extension? I added the extension in Options->Preferences->File Filter, but nothing changed.
Thank you for your help.
Hi Kevin,
Do your files have a typical XML file suffix, or do you have all kinds of suffixes that are usually not associated with XML data? In the first case, we could easily extend our static suffix list; in the latter case, I’ll think about some more alternatives.
Best, Christian

Hi Christian,
In this case, I'm dealing with just a few different extensions used by various linguistic software. While it would solve my problem, I'm not sure how helpful it would be others to include them in the static suffix list. Something more general might be helpful for others.
The extensions I'm working with are .fwdata, .flextext, .lift, and .lift-ranges. All are just XML files.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I’ll probably add an editable list of XML suffixes to the GUI preference dialog. This suffix list will then be considered in all GUI operations that check for the file type (file dialogs; set query context; highlighting; database creation; etc). I’ll give you an update once this will be available.
Best, Christian

I think this would be very helpful - recently i was making an index of some epub files - they are zip'd directories of (mostly) XML, but i have re name them to end in .zip and/or expand them and rename individual files right now. Or write a query to do it :)
Good news: It has already been implemented, and it will be available soon after we’ve done some more testing!

you people are beyond awesome! :D
Thanks for the kudos ;) The new snapshot is online [1].
@Kevin: The project-specific XML suffixes can now be adjusted via the GUI Preferences dialog. @Liam: epub is now detected as archive suffix.
