[ptt-users] TM 5.1 RC 2: testgen4web output "is not well formed"?

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Lars:

This is indeed a user interface design problem. I opened a new  
enhancement ticket at http://bugs.pushtotest.com/ticket/211. We will  
change the function of the open icon to know the difference of file  
type and act accordingly.

Thanks.
