XML Config File

scross28 · 2003-10-01, 21:41

i was editing the config file to setup my shares when a nice idea came to mind to help speed up and simplify the editing process.

the $home tag is a nice feature. what if we could create our own refrences. ie

<refrences>
<$computer1>smb://administrator

assword@workgroup/home</$computer1>
<$relax1>xbms://192.168.0.101:1400</$relax1>
</refrences>

<video>
<bookmark>
<name>computer 1 samba</name>
<path>$computer1/my videos/</path>
</bookmark>
</video>

just thought that could speed things up. that way you wouldn't have to retype all that info for evey section.

that would be huge! defining your own variables or references would make updating to the latest version so much easier...
