XML Edita 4+

Usable, but yet to be enjoyable

I'd been editing xml and xslt by hand for years, waiting for a worthwhile app to come along which could make things much easier, and at a reasonable price.

The early version of this software challeged me with continual crashes and non-intuitive functionality.

Fortunatley the frequent bug fixes has saved me from the continual crashes. However I still can't figure out how to activate certain features. In fact, I can't even work the online help system easily.

Say I'd like to move a tab to a new window. And to my pleasure there is a menu item to do just this. Except it is ghosted. Can't figure out how to get it to become available.

I try to create a new project (not under the File menu as I would expect, but under the "Project" menu – fair enough). So I select "New project" and nothing happens. I try 'Save' and nothing happens. Perhaps something is happening but it isn't being communicated to me??

The programme has much potential and several advanced features. But it is like driving a flash new car and finding the pedals are not in the places you expect them to be.

It could have been so beautiful. Much better stability now, but I still find myself looking for the handbrake under the passanger's seat!

Dear Customer,

About the project management, it’s working as described in the documentation. There is a left panel where you can manage your files (We don’t save the state of the editor). It also offers some shortcuts to transform your documents from the project panel.
I can send you a short movie to show you how does it work. Don't hesitate to contact me!
