Description simpatico 2010-11-02 01:32:56 UTC

I'm wondering why the ide doesn't recognize as .xml files that end with .wsmode, .wswmgr (defined by NB), and .kml files for instance, but it does handle .jnlp files.

Cannot the editor assume any file whose first line starts with <?xml to be an xml file?

Nice addition; recognition must be based on a magic header <?xml in most common encodings (ASCII/UTF8, UTF-16 LE+BE, with/without BOM).
