#139 Xpath extras

[birdspider]

besides the (somewhere in the forum discussed but 1 year old) Xpath Namespace condensation
(xmlns:a="http://bla.net") -> xpath('/a:root') == xpath('/{"http://bla.net"}:root')

i would like to see a
0. bigger xpath window :)
1. select an xml element -> "right klick" -> "show XPATH to this element" -> xpath('/a:foo/b:bar/c:pathtoselectedelement') (in new dialog or clipboard or so)

Yes, I really, really, really want to right-click on something and get the XPATH to that element. Right now, you can do the opposite: Click on XML->Evaluate XPath, and see the results. I've just wasted a day trying to find a command or utility that will let me print the xpath, given an XML file and a string found in that file. Trial and error bites!

I am not sure if there is a simple way to include a Namespace in a XPath except this:

The XPath will become quite long if the Namespace is specified. I was wondering if that is acceptable.

The request 1. has been implemented by [5a597c].
