Understood. > > Just forget about our suggestion if you think the mechanism provided > right now by XXE for users preferences is sufficient. We are not against improving XXE in that area. However we always try to first remove a rarely used and/or poorly thought feature before adding a new, hopefully more useful and better designed, feature. In your case, it seems that we need to replace XXE_USER_PREFERENCES (implemented upon the request of another customer; may be Mark Fletcher) by another, more convenient and more powerful facility. For now, we have no idea on what would be this new more convenient and more powerful facility but we'll think about it. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
