I can't get the XQuery plugin to recognise the base URL. The path supplied by the file browsers is delimited by \ and therefore invalid. I substituted / . The path was accepted, but the adapter produced no output. I modified my query so that it didn't depend on the base URL and it worked. So the problem would seem to be with the URL. I also tried prefixing file:/// but that was reported as not pointing to any directory.

Has anyone managed to get the base URL working and pointing to the local file system?

Any suggestions?
