    I'm using Ubuntu and I find impossible to open an xml file over my lan (windows network) or as a url.
    Is it normal?
    I cannot open an xml file with an http get url or with unc naming convention or nautilus convention. With gedit my possibilities are wider.

    All I can do is to copy my file in local.

    Am I missing something?

      Thanks Gabriele, I agree that's an annoying limitation.

      I can only assume that the standard file open methods don't adequately cover network access.

      Still, if gedit can do it, xmlcopyeditor can too, so I'm happy to treat this as a bug.

      (I am working on the next release at the moment but much my development time has been taken up by a sister project that is now nearly complete. Hence the long delay since the January release!)

      Regards,
      Gerald

      Thank you Gerald. Today I saw a strange behaviour.
      If I Bookmarked a windows network path in my ubuntu/nautilus bookmarks xml copy editor could see that directory and could pick up the file!
      I have no idea on what has changed but for now that's enough For me.
      I had no time to evaluate deeply xml copy editor but for now I appreciate a lot its semplicity.
      Thank you.
      I'll keep you informed on the network file open topic.
