      Hi guys

      Can someone tell me how I can edit the contents of an xml file?

      I wanted to change the path of some games and also artwork etc. Everytime I try to edit the xml file via "Winscp" the xml file that I attempt to edit becomes corrupted and unreadable via accessing it via my computer.

      I just wanted to know what the easiest and best method to edit my xml files is, without the risk of corruption etc

      any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

        @Winklepicker You should be able to edit it with any basic text editor. Personally, I make a copy of the file i want to edit onto my windows computer and then make my changes and drop it back in place when I'm done.

        Don't forget that linux is case sensitive when changing paths.
