Sorry, it is my fault. I did a mistake in my suggestion. In: --- <cfg:command name="XXE.edit" parameter="'%0'" /> --- simply remove the quotes around '%0': --- <cfg:command name="XXE.edit" parameter="%0" /> --- * Command "XXE.edit" expects a file name or an URL and 'file:///tmp/foo.xml' *with the quotes* is not a file name or URL. * A macro command, for example, expects several arguments in its parameter string. Quotes must be used for arguments which contains whitespaces. That's why, you can, and sometimes you must, quote arguments passed to a macro. * "gvim '%0'" is passed to the shell which has no problems with quotes. > Any ideas on how I can debug the actions being taken > within the macro sequence? Macros in next version of XXE will have a boolean debug attribute. For now, use the "alert" command. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/poweruser/ar01s05s01.html
