Hi Alberto,

You can directly open a file in eXide using this URL pattern:


https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/eXide/index.html?open=3D/db/apps/demo/index=
.html

... as seen on https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/demo/index.html.

If you're thinking of a command within the eXide GUI to paste a resource's
path to open it in an editor, that doesn't yet exist, but I agree it would
be a nice feature!

Joe

&gt; Hi<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Probably this is something available in a later exist version (if that=
 is the case, just let me know). But, is there a way to open a file in eXid=
e without browsing the collection?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; It happens that I have more than 120K files in a folder, and even filt=
ering, crashes eXide completely :-(<br>
<br>
Ended up writing a small python3 script to edit the file, as it seems the i=
ndex was broken because of an invalid document ID. Nevertheless, having a d=
irect way to open a file when you know the name would be great :-)<br>
<br>
THanks<br>
