Idea Delivered

XPP 9.3 will include this functionality as described at the conclusion of this thread.

Copy x-path from the Status window and/or Show SGML/XML window

It would be a huge time saving option for developers to be able to copy  the Xpath from both the XPP Status window and the XPP Show Sgml/Xml window. Whilst this would not be in the right format all the time for CSS it would still save a lot of typing for long x-paths, in particular when attributes are included in the required item format or CSS selector.

  • Because the Status window pops up regardless of the markup/structure you're editing would the ability to copy the XPath information from the XML/SGML Tree View window allow the functionality to be more targeted to ML users?

    Commenting as someone who develops in both XML and Classic modes, losing focus for a feature not used if working in Classic would be annoying. However when working on an XML library, being able to copy from the XML/SGML Tree View window  would be very useful.

    Binding this to a window only used by *ML developers would target the audience that would use the copy/paste functionality.
