OK, we'll try to do that for the next release. This already works on the Mac. We'll see how we can do it for Windows. > If I add it manually, it still doesn't work > properly if XXE is already running, because then it will open a new > XXE instance instead of in a new tab. (I didn't try XXE under other > OS-es.) This feature, which is not directly related to associating XXE to a number of file types, has been implemented several years ago. Please use Options|Preferences, General section and check "Use a unique instance of XMLmind XML Editor". This option works on all OS-es. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.guiutil.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#generalOptions [[[ I personally use this feature all the time from the command-line (of my Linux box).
