Creating Files and Folders

Previous Top Next

When you create a new file or folder in the Explorer window, a rudimentary untitled and having the respective file extension, is created in the folder that currently has the focus in the Hierarchical tab and a corresponding entry is created in the Hierarchical tab.

If you open a new schema in XMLSpy, it will look like this:

xsd_new-schema

A new XML file has the following content:

xml_new-xml

A new XSLT file will look like this:

xsl_new-xslt

A file with the following content is created if you choose to add a new WSDL file:

wsdl_new-wsdl

When a new folder is created, an empty folder called new folder is physically created in the folder that currently has the focus in the Hierarchical tab and an entry for this folder is created in the Hierarchical tab.

Please note: If you have deselected the Show Empty Folders option in the Explorer context menu, the new folder, because it contains no schemas, will not be displayed in the Hierarchical tab.
