Handling Asian Characters in UI and Editor
by Eliot Kimber 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

In the process of testing our RSuite produce I've created some test documents that include a mix of Asian and latin characters, both in file names and in content. In both cases, Oxygen by default uses a font that does not have glyphs for the Asian characters. It would be nice if Oxygen could automatically apply appropriate fonts for characters in well-known character ranges (e.g., applying Arial Unicode MS or Sim Hei to characters in the unified ideograph range under Windows, for example). Not sure how practical this is but it would be nice.

feature request: suggestion of named entities/suggestion of imported xsl:stylesheets and xsl:params
by Stefan Krause 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, after working with OxygenXML for some years, I want to thank you for developing and enhancing this great tool. For instance, the instant renaming of closing tags after editing the opening was a nice improvement coming with the last version. Anyway, I have two feature requests regarding the text editor in xslt-mode: (1) I often use named entities (such as <!ENTITY cr "
">). In the text editor, the suggestion list is only filled with basic entities (&/'/>/</"). It would be very helpful if the suggestion list would be filled automatically with the named entities defined in the xml prologue (or used in the document). (2) While editing xslt documents, the text editor only suggests templates and params defined within the same document. It would be great if the suggestion list would also refer to templates and params that are defined in imported/included stylesheets. Thank you again, Stefan Krause - ---------------------------------------------- Directmedia Publishing GmbH Möckernstraße 68 10965 Berlin Telefon +49 (030) 78 90 46-66 Telefax +49 (030) 78 90 46-97 E-Mail skrause(a)directmedia.de Eingetragen im Handelsregister Berlin-Charlottenburg Registernummer: HR B 58002 Vertretungsberechtigte Gesellschafter: Ralf Szymanski, Erwin Jurschitza USt.Id.

Problem using Arabic script in "Quick Find"

Hello, When I enter right-to-left text (in my case Arabic) in the "quick find" entry field, it works fine the first time, but afterwards it is no longer possible to use the quick find function and an error console with the following message is displayed: [ AWT-EventQueue-0 ] - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: offset out of bounds java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: offset out of bounds at java.text.RuleBasedBreakIterator.checkOffset(RuleBasedBreakIterator.java:724) at java.text.RuleBasedBreakIterator.preceding(RuleBasedBreakIterator.java:772) at javax.swing.text.GlyphView.getBreakSpotUseBreakIterator(GlyphView.java:805) at javax.swing.text.GlyphView.getBreakSpot(GlyphView.java:734) at javax.swing.text.GlyphView.getBreakWeight(GlyphView.java:669) at javax.swing.text.FlowView$LogicalView.getPreferredSpan(FlowView.java:708) at javax.swing.text.FlowView.calculateMinorAxisRequirements(FlowView.java:216) at javax.swing.text.BoxView.checkRequests(BoxView.java:918) at javax.swing.text.BoxView.getMinimumSpan(BoxView.java:551) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$RootView.getMinimumSpan(BasicTextUI.java:1356) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI.getMinimumSize(BasicTextUI.java:932) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(JComponent.java:1712) at java.awt.FlowLayout.minimumLayoutSize(FlowLayout.java:448) at java.awt.Container.minimumSize(Container.java:1668) at java.awt.Container.getMinimumSize(Container.java:1653) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(JComponent.java:1714) at com.jidesoft.action.E.D(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.E.minimumLayoutSize(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.CommandBar$_A.minimumLayoutSize(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.minimumSize(Container.java:1668) at java.awt.Container.getMinimumSize(Container.java:1653) at javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize(JComponent.java:1714) at com.jidesoft.action.F.E(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.F.invalidateLayout(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.invalidate(Container.java:1455) at javax.swing.JComponent.revalidate(JComponent.java:4787) at com.jidesoft.action.D.B(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.D.A(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.K.A(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.A(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.dockDockableBar(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.A(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.A(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.J(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.action.DefaultDockableBarManager.showDockableBar(Unknown Source) at ro.sync.exml.MainFrame$10$1.run(Unknown Source) at ro.sync.ui.a$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:273) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:183) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:173) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:168) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:160) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121) --- This does not occur using normal find (Ctrl-F), so there is an easy workaround ;) Thanks, François Charette

SHIFT + CTRL + P customization
by Karl Stubsjoen 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

How do you customize XML document formatting? I'd like to, for example, control which elements wrap, and which elements sit inline with other elements. I started to write an XSL transformation, but moved on from completing it (other fish to fry) but if someone has one that is complete or near complete, I'd certainly contribute to the effort! Karl..

Feature Request: Open XML Package files (e.g., .docx, NIMAS, MARS, etc.) as projects
by Eliot Kimber 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

I just tried opening a Word .docx file, which of course doesn't work. But it occurred to me that it would be really useful to have the package opened as a tree in the project view (or a view analogous to the DITA Map View) and then enable navigation to component files that way. I suppose this could be generalized for Zip files of any sort, not just those that contain primarily XML or that are expected to have an XML doc as their root/manifest file.

Shared project files
by Christian Wittern 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hi there, For a project here, I would like to share a project file between the users, so that I can set it up for a group of users and update it when necessary. My first thought was using SVN, but that leads to conflicts pretty soon, since information about state and open files is also contained in the project file, and this is user specific. So I wonder what others are doing to avoid this problem? Is there a way to efficiently share project files? If it is not currently possible, I would encourage the Syncro team to think about this, since I would believe it to be a common requirement, no? But maybe I am missing something obvious?

Feature request: Extend the project functionality!
by Jan Nylund 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hello! I recently started using projects within oXygen and it's great to be able to store transformation scenarios with relative paths to the project folder, etc. However, this would be even better if you could improve the functionality, so I thought I'd give you some feedback :) * There is no easy way to see what project is currently active? (except for the file name of the project file) * There is no functionality "close project" ? (I have to restart oxygen if I want it closed) * It would be great to be able to add for example a custom catalog file for a project. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Feature Request: Set Title from Navtitle When Creating New Doc from Map Manager
by Eliot Kimber 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I've developed a pretty efficient practice whereby I use the map manager to create topicrefs to topics that don't yet exist and then take advantage of the "Create new document?" feature to create the document from a template. Since there is no ambiguity about where the title of the topic goes, I think it would be reasonable in this case for Oxygen to set the title of the newly-created topic to the navtitle value in all cases (even where the template document has a non-empty title). I can't think of a reason why in DITA you would have topics with invariant titles that you would create more than one of. For clarity, it might be best to provide some sort of "put navtitle here" thingy to put in the template but in this specific case I think it would be acceptable to just blindly create the title. The only time this would fail would be in specializations where the title itself has required subelements (a pattern I use for specialized reference topic types) but I think that would be handled if the rule was "put the title text in the first leaf descendant or self of the topic title", putting the onus on the template to provide any required subelements of topic.
