Re: [Exist-open] Opening a file in eXide without browsing

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi Alberto,

You can directly open a file in eXide using this URL pattern:


https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/eXide/index.html?open=/db/apps/demo/index.html

... as seen on https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/demo/index.html.

If you're thinking of a command within the eXide GUI to paste a resource's
path to open it in an editor, that doesn't yet exist, but I agree it would
be a nice feature!

Joe
