XML Editor partial import
I have an existing install with many XML files that were created with the editor. For my next release of software, I have to augment some of those files with literally 50-100 lines of XML. Going back and doing a complete re-import would lose all my settings and variables that I've coded in there for the previous releases. Instead of manually creating those 50-100 lines of XML, it would be nice if I could just hand it a snippet of XML and have it import as a child of the currently selected node.
Re: XML Editor partial import
Hello,
I'm afraid we don't have predefined support for this. Maybe we'll consider this in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.
Also, as a workaround, you can try the following approach:
- Go to "Files and Folders" page and under your XML file containing folder create a sub-folder (e.g. XML_Subfolder) having the "Install folder content into the parent folder" option enabled.
- In the XML_Subfolder directory import again your XML file.
- Edit the XML file (from XML_Subfolder) to include only the new added 50-100 lines of XML file.
- Build and run your package.
All the best,
Daniel
