Greetings all; In search of something, anything that might give me a clue as to why about a months work on custompanel.xml was killing linuxcnc, I installed xmlindent, and xmlcopyeditor.
Thinking I might find a clue in the re-indented code, I checked the man page for xmlindent. But it has only a -option for an output file. So I ran it. Never came back, so I added the -w option. Never came back. Opps, now I have a zero length file where it was 130+ LOC with an error of some sort that let it load up to the final </pyvcp> before it puked at column 2. I can get most of it back by dragging it in from another machine with a similar setup but to restore what I had 20 minutes ago will take a hell of a lot longer than I have left in me for tonight. So then I tried xmlcopyeditor, thinking I could copy/paste into that. But its apparently only for new creation as it does not accept a paste. WTF?? So where can I find an xml editor that will let me copy/paste from the Document.pdf, most of the stuff from pages 392 on to get an rpm meter, on, fwd, rev leds, and append align.xml stuffs to that with added status leds to show the current machine alignment state, and which will also show any errors (cuz the Doc.pdf has quite a few errors of its own). And preferably not capable of destroying several weeks worth of work over the last 5 years? I know this isn't your fault, none of you wrote this stuff, but this xml bs needs warning labels because it can destroy anybodies sanity. Thanks everybody.
