Me too, David. I was looking at an old ace file the other day, for the first
time in many, many months, and I was struck by how clean and legible it was.
Peering into an ecf file is hard work. Some of us complained about this when
ecf was sprung on us by surprise a couple of years ago, but we were told not
to worry, we would never look at the XML because the Project Settings dialog
would do everything. Well the Project Settings dialog is good, but I usually
edit the XML directly because it's quicker for most mundane tasks. Your
current problem is sadly ironic in this respect.
Someone was looking for JSON support in Eiffel a few days ago. Wouldn't it
be nice if ecf files were JSON rather XML!
David, why don't you paste your ecf XML into an email? Maybe it will be
obvious why the time library part of it isn't working when we see the XML.
