Copy & Paste XML from one file to another

I have the requirement that certain big subtrees of an XML file's XML tree are exactly the same in multiple XML files, based on the properties provided in the installer.

Is there the possibility to work with placeholders, or to copy a subtree over from one "Edit XML File" window to another one?

If not, can this be considered for a future version? We are starting to spam new .NET applications into our installer, and every EXE needs its settings file with the same contents (database name etc.) at a certain location with a certain name (x.exe requires x.exe.config in the same directory), so we cannot deduplicate the files.

Re: Copy & Paste XML from one file to another

Hello,

I'm afraid we don't have support for what you need. We have noted down your requirements though, and maybe such improvements will be considered by our development team in the future. Thank you for your suggestion.

All the best,
Daniel
