It's a Harbour problem?

I'll use the available extensions.
BTW, custom extension was my need because i use a selfmade repository of the
application objects (in other words, a data driven engine) and i need to
include into the project the files containing the objects descriptors,
avoiding that hbIDE will compile it. I was ignoring that .xml, .ini and
other extensions was yet managed by hbIDE, so the problem don't exists.

You are right, in general way, but in my scenario could be fine if the
repository builder will be activated at the end of the prg compile and
before the exe is started, otherwise i'll have to do these steps:
1. compile the prg without launching the exe
2. launch my repository builder
3. launch the installer builder
4. upload to the web the installer
5. publish to the web the new version availability
6. launch the exe if needed
A very time expensive job. Now i manage this in a single click with xMate,
using the post build user command. In addition, xMate starts the command
only if the main build ends successfully, so your doubts about to start user
commands on inconsistent build are unapplicable.

This was also because i asked for the association of extension with a
command ( a la xDevStudio ), allowing that the builder will apply to
proprietary resouce files based on extension.
I realize it's my need, but could be an interesting feature is someone else
have similar problem (xml is largely used in data driven applications).

Best regards.
Maurizio
