Description richard_l 2012-02-06 15:02:52 UTC 
If you select XSL Transformation ... from the popup menus, you are presented with a dialogue window to select input and output xml files.  If you try and select a source xml file which has a custom filetype defined for it, you receive an error message "Selected file: dataModelCreator.xml is not an XML file".

If I disable the plug-in module which contains the custom filetype definition then the selection is accepted and processing completes successfully.

During development, it is very useful to be able to test new XSL transforms using this ad-hoc method.  I see no reason why it should be disabled for source files which are valid XML files just because a custom filetype has been defined for them.

(see also 207842 for another enhancement request for XML custom filetypes)
