how to let HippoEDIT not make *.xml when I edit file

[false007]

when I edit file (such as .php,.shml), HippoEDIT will make a file xml file.

I don't want to make the xml file, how should I config the HippoEDIT???

[Stefan]

I think "Tools > Options... > Editor || General | [X] Save Auto-Recovery information" is related?

or was it " [X] Retain Undo After Save" ?

see this example:

I edit Account.php this file, and HE make a file like Account.php.inf.xml.

    eg:     homepage.js, homepage.js.inf.xml

Hi false007,

the xml files you mean, are files satellites. These files contain document related information, which is not possible to save inside of the file, as:
- cursor, selection etc position
- Bookmarks information
- Breakpoint information
- Protected areas information
- Outlining state
- User text highlights (only for 1.50)

Generally for 1.4x is only bookmark and folding information are relevant, because only existing of them leads to creation of such satellite file, by default (this mean if you st a bookmark or collapse some block this will lead to creation of file). Position information not leads to creating of such file, but stored inside, if file exist.

If you do not like such behavior, you can disable bookmark + folding state persistence. For this there are several xml flags exist.

change file data\settings.xml

<General>
<Persist bookmarks="false" folding="false" user_blocks="false" breakpoints="false" protected="false" positions="true"/>
</General>


Best regards,
Alex
P.S: checking the code, found out, that there is maybe bug, and files will be created any way (even if bookmark information is not saved). If this like it is, this is a bug and will be fixed in new beta 1.49.

Just an idea: perhaps no satellite files should be used. How about using special folders? HippoEdit is already in say %USERPROFILE%\Application Data.
Besides, I see .tmp file is cerated in the same directory each time I open a file for editing, this is not desirable under some circumstances.

Hi Arthur,

this was already discussed here (topic is started by you ).
Briefly, this can an option, but than you will not be able to move bookmarks together with file.

Temp files are probably auto recovery information or backup. Auto-Recovery files normally deleted after you save file or close it without save. Both option can be disabled.

Best regards,
Alex.
