Title: Fast Access to Payload Editor
Post by: Haddood on August 17, 2014, 01:45:16 AM

is it possible to add a button in the LCB to open Payload editor (beside the regex tool sound logical) as payloads are not always part of commands (I use them to store data)

I don't think it is logical to have this on the LCB and I am afraid it will confuse "normal" users, especially new ones, who are already confused enough.

Maps were created as an easy and fast way to store and access data. Much better than payloadXML. Any reason you don't use maps?

I will consider putting an entry in the main window's file menu to open the payloadXML editor.  Would that work for you?

that would be great James ...

as for the reason I prefer xml files ... is that I can edit them programmatically ... ex; I find the line I want to change it is value or phrase ... change that and write back to the xml... maybe it is I did not invest time in learning how to do that in maps (not sure if it can be done with current actions)

Yes, this is very doable with maps. Full set of map actions: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Actions#Map

In today's 2.0.0.8 release, James has also made the payload xml editor accessible via the File menu as promised.
