Why can't I attack the original .xml format of evaluator column exports here? Instead I have to change an extension every time
Paste them into a code block rather than an attached file.
Then the code blocks will take all the space in a post and you'd need to track where one begins and ends to copy all - instead of simply clicking on 3 links
Put them in collapsing blocks if it’s that much of a problem, but it never has been for anyone else. Code blocks have limited height and will scroll if the code in them is long.
Making people download files instead of using the clipboard is less convenient, not more, too.
but it never has been for anyone else
It has, that's why many of the columns posts have various .xml.txt/.js.txt file attachment to overcome it
Code blocks can be copied to the clipboard with a single click. I can't think of anything more convenient, and I don't recall ever seeing a .xml.txt on the forum.
JScript files are a different story, as they must be saved directly into the configuration.
