treeView using XML as datasource?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

I’ve been thinking about building a treeview component, much like the one in the new palette. My initial though was to maybe use XML as a datasource, as it seemed quite suitable for that. From a quick look at the new treeview in the palette it looks like you’re using regular tables. So before I spend hours learning XML I was wondering if you thought about using XML for this as well, and if yes, what were the reasons to stay with a regular table based approach. Thanks.

The main reason was that there is no easy way of writing out xml yet. Once we can add to xml structures then the Palette Browser will switch.

thanks markus. Once you make the switch it’s gonna be a great learning resource
