Hi Paul Are you a true XML believer, or is a comma separated format enough? What is the "norm" in Elisa? I have the comma-separated format up and running (and it is very simple). I actually believe that XML potentially could be "the work of the Devil", especially for local data, but if it will make you happy it is fine by me (as long as I'm not going to program any of the XML-tree-iteration-stuff :-)
I am working on enhancing the code and also make it a local plugin. Currently I hacked the code and put it directly into the root-file-system (and not in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/). But I also have to take care of a house, a pregnant wife and 2 boys, but Elisa is fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!
