XML Editor?

Jason Galterio

Does anyone know of a good (and relatively cheap / free) XML editor?

I have finally finished reinstalling all of my content. I subdivided the content into just a handful of install paths to make organization easy.

Now I am going to populate my Product / Categories to make those reflect one virtual content path in an organizational manner that I prefer. (I may have used the wrong terminology with "Product / Categories," I can't remember which it is and don't have the software in front of me.)

Doing the organization within DS is a bit of a headache with the way DS handles the items one at a time.... But I do know that I can make a base "Product" set up, then export that out as an XML file.

I was thinking of then using a 3rd party XML app to organize the items and re import the XML file into DS.

Thanks! I will take a look when I get home.

I am trying to find a way to do one or more of the following:
1. Drag and drop items.
2. Multiple item change.
3. Find duplicate entries.

I know XML isn't really the vehicle for this. I have had barn load of XML training, but never found much reason to put it into practice.

1. Maybe
2. It doesn't. At least, I can't do it. I see a expensive and complex XML editor for this (I don't remmember name)
3. I clean bad re-imported custom categories.
