Editing XML files in Notepad as TextAssets

Is it not OK to edit an xml file in Notepad (in Windows)?

Whenever I do so (e.g. just copying a line and adding an additional clause) I get compiler error messages, and I can’t even go back by un-doing what I have just done! I have to copy over the old xml file to resolve the compiler issue.

Is there a specific way of editing xml files as Unity’s “resources” or “assets”?

Not aware of problems. What error message do you get?

Thanks for your quick reply. My whole UnityPro has now crashed (err msg :: Moving File Failed) and is not launching (which might have something to do with this perhaps) so I will get back to you as soon as I have sorted this out…

Graham, Just a quick update that I did a fresh install and I am no longer getting an error message after editing an xml file through Notepad. When I ran into that problem, my Unity crashed before I had a chance to capture a screenshot or even commit to memory the error message. If it happens again, I will react quickly to, at least, memorize the err msg before I lose the app. But once again, thanks for your quick reply…
