XMLmind XML Editor contains special code which aims to integrate the application to Mac OS X. Therefore opening XML documents this way should work fine[*].

We run XMLmind XML Editor on two Macs. Both of which have the .dmg-distribution installed. Both also have several XXE extensions installed, in case extensions could have any impact on the behavior.

We'll try to reproduce and fix the bug you have reported. However specifying which version of Mac OS X and more importantly which version of Java (Apple Java 1.6? Oracle Java 1.8?) you use would help.

* OSX version: One computer runs OSX 10.7.5, the other runs OSX 10.10.5.
* Java: On both computers, the test at Java.com[*] reports that «You have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 60).» * The OSX 10.7.5 machine is, in addition, able to rune Java from command line, which repports this version information:
   * java version "1.7.0_21"
   * Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
   * Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

I do not spot any difference between the OSX 10.7.5 computer and the OSX 10.10.5 computer with regard to bugs in this particular Finder integration.

All known problems specific to Mac OS X are listed here:

Two things: That page says that «On the Mac, it's still recommended to use Apple Java™ 1.6 runtime to run XXE.» However, the .dmg-distribution is «bundled with a private Java™ 1.8.0_60 runtime». So, even if one’s Mac includes the Apple Java™ 1.6 runtime, I suppose that XXE will use the bundled 1.8 java, not?

However this list is missing Retina specific problems as we didn't have a Retina Mac at the time this list was written.

We do not have Retina Macs.
