Stuff you don't know about metaEdit

After receiving a good suggestion for a blog, I think there's some mileage in this!  I'll stick up a few posts in the not too distant future that will show some of the lesser known goodness that's in metaEdit waiting to be exploited.

Things I'll blog on:

  • Sourcesafe integration
  • Workgroup collaboration
  • Tips and tricks
  • XML Parser versions

For a starter - if you've ever had a complicated XSL transform loaded and had all your windows laid out just the way you want them, you can save the state that metaEdit is in by choosing File -> Save Workspace.  This will create a .mew file ("metaEdit Workspace") which contains a description of which files you have open and where they are positioned and what the settings are on each window is (including XSL params!).  It'll even store documents that haven't been saved yet (Document 1 etc...).

Gravatar Good stuff, like it. With out making this a wish list...Can you add a macro to support pasting "C# watch style xml"? (eg find first and last quote and change \" to " then layout). Thanks buddy :)
