Multi-row tabs?
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

I often have a lot of XML-files open simultaneously. Is it possible to configure multiple rows of tabs? Something similar to this: http://winaero.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Firefox-with-multi-row-t… Jostein

Re: [oXygen-user] Pretty Print <lb/> in Oxygen
by Syd Bauman 12 Jan '16

A few hours ago Ute Recker-Hamm posted a wonderful question to TEI-L, the main list for the Text Encoding Initiative.[1] She basically asked "what do y'all do to get your physical lines, as encoded with the empty TEI <lb> element, to line up nicely in oXygen?". I remember asking a similar question a few years ago, and vaguely recall being told that manipulating the options under "Preferences > Editor / Format / XML" (in particular the "Preserve space" and "Default space" lists) should get format-and-indent to do the trick. However, I recall that I never got it working to my satisfaction, and when I look through the archives of this list now, I can't find the answer I recall. So what is "it" that I want format-and-indent to do? When given a text that looks like this: view A ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. I'd like it to end up formatted as it is now -- with each <lb> starting a new line. If the desired line length were long enough, it wouldn't be changed at all. If the desired line length were shorter, it might look like this: view B ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. What I *don't* want is for format-and-indent to make it look like this: view C ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. In fact, if I had my druthers, an input document that looked like view C would come out of the processing looking like view A or B. Note ---- [1] Those of you who are members of a TEI list at Brown can find it at https://listserv.brown.edu/?A2=ind1410&L=tei-l&F=&S=&P=64155. I have not re-produced it here because I did not get the original poster's permission to do so. (Not that I think it is illegal or immoral to re-post without such permission, only that it's rude.)

Toolbar action for specific transformation scenario?
by Tony Graham 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Is it possible to configure a toolbar action that will run a specific transformation scenario from the current framework? It's possible to make one scenario the default scenario, I know, but I'm looking at providing multiple transformation scenarios, and I'd prefer it if the eventual users could choose their actions without even having to go to the trouble of selecting and unselecting items in the 'Transformation Scenarios' view, if that's possible.

DiffCompare and Oxygen editor
by Shannon 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hi, when I save an edit in Diff Files of a file open in an Oxygen editor, it is supposed to automatically refresh the document? In my particular case just now it didn’t. Caused some confusion. I closed and reopened the file manually in order to see the changes reflected. The editor asks if the user wants to reload the document if it’s changed in the file system, is it possible to automate and/or detect changes from Diff Files, especially considering the input file is selected from the list of documents currently open in Oxygen? Best, Shannon

Distributing Dita filters in Oxygen 15.2
by Nathan 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hi, We use Oxygen 15.2 and distribute dita filters via the default-options.xml file to our writers (using the global option). But whenever there is an update to this file and the file is imported by our writers, it wipes out the writers preset options. Is there any way of retaining the authoring presets of the writers while allowing for us to keep distributing our dita filters this way? It would be great if there is a default-options.xml file where we have the filtering options and then a user-options.xml which can override some of the default options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Nathan

Sort review comments by date?
by Tony Graham 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

Would it be possible/reasonable to be have the option to sort the comments in the 'Review' view by date? In a document with lots of comments, I want to easily find the latest ones. I can restrict the visible comments to just those from my reviewer and then scroll down the shorter list looking for recent dates, but when the comment is just "Okay", I then need to re-enable my own comments to see what was okayed. I also note that I can't search the 'Review' view by date. Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham(a)antenna.co.jp

interrupting and restarting an external tool script
by Tara Athan 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

I use bash scripts to run validation tests and build artifacts (I have an external tool called "build" that simply starts the bash script that has focus in the editor). I have noticed that if I start a script when another is running, there will be a failure of the first script, but then I am unable to successfully start any other script. It will return with error code 0, but not actually do anything. Is there a clean way to kill a script that is started in this fashion? Thanks, Tara
