Thank you for your suggestion, however we are not going to fix or enhance anything related to helper applications because, in our opinion, there is nothing to be fixed or enhanced. XMLmind XML Editor is extensible enough to allow you to do what you want without our collaboration. Excerpts of common.xxe_gui (XMLmind XML Editor - Customizing the User Interface -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/gui/index.html): --- <action name="openObjectInHelperAppAction" label="_Open Element or Attribute Content in Helper Application..." accelerator="mod shift O"> <command name="viewObject" parameter="[implicitElement]" /> </action> <action name="editObjectInHelperAppAction" label="_Edit Element or Attribute Content in Helper Application..."> <command name="editObject" parameter="[implicitElement]" /> </action> --- Therefore you may want to replace commands viewObject (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/viewObject.html) and editObject (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/editObject.html) by modified versions of your own. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:hussein at xmlmind.com] > Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 1:44 AM > To: Jeff Hooker > Cc: xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com; jimt at bluestream.com > Subject: Re: [XXE] Using Helper applications when using a Virtual Drive > plugin > > Jeff Hooker wrote: >> Hmmm.
