Microsoft XML NotePad

I've recently been looking for an OPML editor that doesn't come with the overhead of Radio or the unstructured approach that comes with using Notepad. In other words, I want the Radio Outliner without the Radio blogging tool and scripting language, and I want the Radio Outliner Render without the Radio blogging tool and scripting language - and I want it on Windows.

Steve - we talked about this in Santa Clara! Radio is still my first love. Take me back!

In response to my request to the ipodder-dev list, Steve Holden pointed me to this little gem - it might just fit the bill!

Microsoft XML NotePad: "XML Notepad is a simple application that assists in the building of rapid prototypes of XML applications. It allows authors to rapidly build and edit small sets of XML data as a test bed during the development of XML-based applications. With XML Notepad, you can create XML document prototypes quickly, easily, and in an iterative fashion, using familiar metaphors. XML Notepad offers an intuitive and simple user interface that graphically represents the tree structure of XML data. Working with the standard building blocks of XML (Elements, Attributes and Text), authors are able to create reproducible data structures that can be easily filled."

Thanks Steve!! (Holden)

No files released - you'll have to get it out of CVS, but if you have Visual Studio .Net you can build the C# file and get a small but workable OPML browser/editor (use the xNote solution - it's more fully formed). I just started working with it, so I don't know if it's buggy or not, but I've been able to browse OPML files from the web, edit the tree, and save them locally."

Nifty - now I've got some serious stuff to play with on the plane to South Africa next week...
