Support cleaning parts of XML using CleanerML

[Tobias-B-Besemer]

BleachBit should have a XML Cleaner.

Programs found so far that store data in XML files:

• Light Alloy
• Double Commander
• Notepad++

I included in the file notepad++.xml some code (as comment) that shows how I think it should/can look later like... Here is the PR with the file: https://github.com/az0/cleanerml/pull/201

I did a other sample in the double_commander.xml... -> https://github.com/az0/cleanerml/pull/202

I agree this would be nice

I saw that the Python Standard Library includes limited support for XPath expressions... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath#Python

Yes, that might help. There actually is an old XML cleaner for OpenOffice, but it's not in cleanerml.

I want to docu a bit the cleaners that need XML-Support for later... (...to come back to them...)

Cleaners that need XML, too:

• filezilla.xml
• OpenOffice.org (See: https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/480)

I found a other scenario in filezilla.xml... ...here is a syntax that I can imagine... <action command="xml" search="file" path="$$profile$$/filezilla.xml" element="FileZilla3/Settings/Setting" attribute="name=Last Server Path"/> Explanation: Deletes with a "name=value" as value of "attribute" the content of "". ...Example: <FileZilla3 version="3.32.0" platform="windows"> <Settings> <Setting name="Last Server Path">ftp://ftp.demo.org</Setting> -> Deletes "ftp://ftp.demo.org"
