problem navigating through folders in Open option (Ubuntu 12.04)
by Robert Nagle 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

I'm starting to do more work in Ubuntu (12.04), and I noticed something very strange. In the latest versions of Author and Editor both, if I go to File --> Open and then navigate down through various directories, I frequently get stuck. Pressing the mouse once or twice often doesn't appear to do anything. Often -- in fact -- Oxygen will wrongly interpret the mouseclick as a desire to rename the directory name I am trying to dive into. Sometimes I need to click the mouse repeatedly and randomly to get into the directory. Maybe it's just a speed/performance issue, but I was wondering if other people had noticed this same problem. (I'm in Unity window manager with Nautilus). Is there some step to make in order to prevent Oxygen from wrongly interpreting my clicking as a request to rename the directory? Thanks. -- Robert Nagle 6121 Winsome Ln #56C, Houston TX 77057-5581 (H) 713 893 3424/ (W) 832-251-7522 Carbon Neutral Since Jan 2010 http://www.robertnagle.info

Browser preview
by Shannon 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Has there been any discussion of a browser preview view? As demonstrated in your tutorial videos, debugging web applications usually means a lot of switching back and forth between Oxygen and the browser--I've seen some editors, such as Coda 2 by Panic, integrate a preview panel which can be very handy and efficient. A window built into the IDE with a URL input and refresh button would be sufficient. Webkit is ideal in these scenarios due to its attached web inspector--the panel is easily split between rendering and error console, etc. Thanks.

Snippets
by Shannon 29 Jun '12

Any consideration to a snippet manager, for common declarations, import statements, etc.? Also, forgot to mention that a built-in browser preview is really helpful for testing RESTful API endpoints… Presently using other apps outside of Oxygen for these purposes--the angle is convenience. Thanks. P.S. The expanded support in v.14 for MarkLogic is incredible! From debugging to autocomplete to validation--awesome, thank you.

command line use of oxygen?
by Jakob Fix 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Hi, I'm currently automating a manual process of actions using ant (or maybe xproc). At some stage however, the process uses Oxygen's Excel import functionality. I wonder if it's possible to call Oxygen from the command line to import an Excel file and save it as XML file? Right now it's a lengthy process of about 4 or 5 clicks. cheers, Jakob. PS: I'm using 14 beta.

How to edit multiple XIncludes inline
by Hintz, David 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi, When opening a document with multiple XInclude references, the editor does not allow inline changes to the included content (unless it is opened in a separate view). Is there any way to make the XInclude content editable in the original Author view? If not, spell-checking or performing a global replace in a document with numerous XIncludes would be difficult. Thanks, Dave - Siemens

DITA: @audience = novice or expert
by Echlin, Robert 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi I have constrained, in DITA 1.2, the attribute audience to allow two values, "rtpDev" and "kernelDev". However, oXygen 13.2 keeps insisting on showing four values. It adds "novice" and "expert" to the drop down list in the "Attributes" view, and in the list displayed by <ctrl-space> keystroke. I don't think the extra words are added incorrectly by my DTD, because: - they don't appear in the files my DTD uses (according to grep) - when I select novice or expert, oXygen very kindly displays this error message: - [Xerces] Attribute "audience" with value "novice" must have a value from the list "kernelDev rtpDev" Any suggestions? Thanks, Rob -- Rob Echlin, Documentation Systems Architect, Wind River +1.613.270.5796 | Skype: rob.echlin.wr

Support for Svn 1.7 format working dirs?
by Barton Wright 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

I installed beta 1 of oXygen 14.0 and ran the standalone Synchro SVN Client. I was very disappointed to see that it still supports no later than Subvesion 1.6-format working directories. Are there plans to add support for Subversion 1.7-format working dirs? When? Thanks!

Oxygen 14 with OT 1.5.6M5
by Eliot Kimber 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Milestone M5 of the OT changes from Ant 1.7 to Ant 1.8 and no longer uses the Xerces bundled with Ant. This breaks running the Toolkit from within Oxygen because the right Xerces library isn't found: /Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/plugins/org.dita.base/build_pre process.xml:27: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.SubstitutionGroupHandler.<init>(Lorg/apache/xerces /impl/xs/XSGrammarBucket;)V at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidatorXerces.<init>(Unknown Source) Is there a way to locally update the classpath Oxygen uses in order to pick up the right Xerces jar? Note that I've simply replace the as-installed DITA-OT distribution with the 1.5.6M5 distribution swapping it into the directory DITA-OT.

Buffer-related questions (when opened from plugin)
by Florent Georges 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi, When opening a buffer from within a plugin (using Workspace.open()), is there any way to 1/ attach a specific value to the buffer (kind of a buffer-scoped variable, in my case just a boolean flag) and 2/ to specify a method to be called before closing the buffer (kind of a buffer listener, so I can do some treatment before closing it)?
