[gme-users] Too many passes while parsing XML file error

[James H. Hill]

Hi Folks,

Is there any possibility in a future release of GME to write a error  
message to the GME console when you encounter such problems (i.e.,  
notify the user what elements are causing the problems)?! For example,  
cache elements and if the problem keeps happening and you are aborting  
the importing, then write and error listing the elements that are not  
resolvable?!

Thanks,

James
