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.

  • Thanks for looking at this Steve. So what you are saying is that the Status window is "display only" and if you change that behaviour then the user would have to "click back" to the other window. If you did change that it would be acting like all the other spec files so I don't personnally see any issue as developers are used to that sort of behaviour when moving between the sdedit window(s) and the XPP open division.

    Its fairly normal to grab stuff from the division and move it to the if or xx specs (or vice versa) and the same really goes for the css and xyperl specs although more changes are required in the later case.
