FMXML or other application

[affe1802]

In FM graphics folder each .png has the club name.

Example  Rostocker FC.png in the config.xml 

        <record from="Rostocker FC" to="graphics/pictures/club/879663/logo"/>

Why can't FMXML or other app open an .fmf or .xml? And then search for  the Club name and the associated  ID in this database? 

The advantages. 

• save a huge amount of time. To search for ID and enter the ID for .png's 
• Searching for Club name in the Graphics folder
• no searching for wrong ID's
• Searching with Competition name
• Person Name
• Kit Club name 

Disadvantages

• Is there an ID with incorrect ID's in it, if the FM dosen't find a suitable png 
• Searching for the wrong ID in the folder becomes a problem.
• Open FM or FM pre Game Editor 

Conclusion the Advantages outweigh

You are in the wrong forum asking about FMXML

.xml is opened by alot of programs, notepad++ editplus, notepad etc

.fmf is extracted by using the "Resource archiver" which is free.

your question is unclear.  fmxml is just an xml file generator, not an editor.

 the record can also be like this

 <record from="879663" to="graphics/pictures/club/879663/logo"/>

and you won't change anything without knowing which club this id corresponds to.

the app was made in like 2008, it quite literally predates the fmf file format.

As well as this, an fmf file is football manager's  proprietary file format, which would require someone to figure out how to decode the file, then build the tool on top of that. To me, that's a lot of work for a few QoL changes, but what do i know, i just edit the config files myself cause it takes about 5 seconds, anything more i just throw into chatgpt.

As snow mentioned this is the wrong forum for it. I wouldn't even know where to start looking as the program is near enough 15 years old.
