manually changing content.xml > invalid xml.. but why

[Regina Henschel]

Hi,

I do not unzip to a folder. But I use "Open Archive" from 7-Zip. The 
context menu of content.xml then has "View" and "Edit". I have setup 
7-Zip to use "XML Notepad" with "Edit" and Notepad++ with "View". Then I 
use either of them to change the content of content.xml and use "Save" 
in those applications. Then close them. Now 7-Zip ask whether I want to 
update the file. Say "yes" and close 7-Zip. It has always worked. You 
might notice, that I'm working on Windows 10.

 From my experience with unzipping to folder, a very common error is, 
that people do not zip the content of the folder, but the entire folder.

Kind regards
Regina
