2 workarounds: * Drag the file you want to open from the Finder to the XMLEditor * OR, if you are a command-line/Terminal user, type --- $ xxe file_name & --- And the file will be opened in the running XMLEditor if any (it will start XMLEditor otherwise). This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, use Options|Options, General tab and check "Use a unique instance of XMLmind XML Editor". More info. in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/help/ar01s06s01.html#generalOptions > A larger frustration: > > The file:open dialog does not use the standard open file dialog on > macosx, this means none of the useful advanced (and even basic useful > features like first char file selection) features are available. We use the ``standard open file dialog'' for Java applications running on MacOSX. This ``standard open file dialog'' is entirely the work of Apple engineers. There is probably a way to use the native open file dialog in XMLEditor but once again this makes developing XMLEditor "write twice, one time for the Mac and the other time for the rest of the world, run anywhere".
