Predefined External Tools

After installation, several external tools are predefined in the Customize dialog box. See Customizing the Tools for information on this dialog box.

This document covers the following topics:


Predefined Values

The tables below list the predefined external tools. The command line information is automatically available in the Customize dialog box, if the corresponding external tool has been found on your system. If an external tool could not be found, you have to specify the command line information yourself. If you do not need an entry for an external tool, you can safely delete it.

The entries "My Instance Editor" and "My Schema Editor" are provided for your convenience. You can either delete them or specify any external tool you have installed.

Image files for the icons below are available in the folder "X_Plorer\icons" which is created during installation.

Notes:

  1. Invoking an external tool with the URL of an instance (using the argument $URL$) is not possible for some external tools. This depends on the external tool.
  2. Invoking an external tool with the file path to access the copy of a document in the file system (using the argument $FILE_PATH$) is only possible for a document that does not contain a namespace prefix in its name (a value for the attribute ino:docname that is not equal to the pattern xxx:yyy). If you want to use an external tool to view or edit a document with a namespace prefix, you have to save the document in the file system with a valid name and use the Open command of the external tool.
  3. When using a file path argument containing blanks, the file path must be enclosed in double quotes (use "$FILE_PATH$" instead of $FILE_PATH$).

Installed Tools

Command line information is added for the following tools, if the tool is already installed:
