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

Printing (Mac platform)
by David Birnbaum 31 May '16

31 May '16

Dear oxygen-user list, When I try to print from the editor view with XML Editor 18.0, build 2016042012 and java.runtime.version 1.8.0_72-b15 on OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.5 (15F34), I get a "no print service found" error message. The on-line <oXygen/> discussion logs show reports of similar behavior under Linux from 2005 and 2006, but I don't understand the explanations, which require a greater familiarity with the operating system than I have. I would be grateful if someone could please explain in end-user language how I can make <oXygen/> aware of my printer. Thanks, David

MENU SHORTCUTS
by Don Cwiklowski 31 May '16

31 May '16

Is there a way to export the list of Menu Shortcuts? I’m trying to produce a simple reference that would contain the pertinent shortcuts for our writers. I tried exporting the Globabl Options and viewing the file, but the shortcuts are not in there. I tried selecting the entire table in the Preferences menu, but it would only let me select a single row. Thanks in advance. I might try posting this to the user group, as well. Using Oxygen 17.1. -- Don Cwiklowski, Jr.

Re: [oXygen-user] Tags view in oXygen Author mode
by Eliot Kimber 27 May '16

27 May '16

I prefer the "partial tags" mode as it makes for the least clutter but still makes it clear where tag boundaries are in running text. I'm also used to using the breadcrumbs to know what my element context is or using the outline view to navigate around in the absence of tags in the main view. But I know a lot of people prefer the full-tags mode and that's probably the best starting point for new authors. Full tags with attributes tends to be too much noise and you can always use the attributes panel to see what the attributes are.

Zoom by mouse scrolling in v18
by Nico Kutscherauer 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi group, I installed oXygen version 18 last weekend and noticed that the zooming behavior is different now: In version 17 I can zoom by mouse scrolling, when I press CTRL in the same time. In version 18 this doesn't work any more. The other ways to zoom (CTRL + "+" or by menu: Document -> Font Size -> Increase Editor Font) still works. I compared the entries of the "Increase Editor Font" in the Shortcut list of both versions. They seems to be equal. I have a colleague, who also installed the version 18 and is also not be able to zoom anymore by using the mouse. She is using Windows 10, I have Win 7. What can I do to restore this nice little functionality? Thanks, for any help!

Re: [oXygen-user] Treating Selected Project Resources as XQuery Collection?

It looks like if I format my result as a number padded with zeros then I can sort the result list and get the top numbers to the top. format-number(max(count(/*/*[contains(@class, ' topic/body ')]//table/tgroup/tbody/row) ), '00000') Cheers, E. ---- Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com On 5/5/16, 1:26 PM, "Eliot Kimber" <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com on behalf of ekimber(a)contrext.com> wrote: >I want to use the XQuery against files feature to do some quick analysis: >Find topics with large tables and report those files and only those files. > >It's not obvious, and I didn't find it in the help, how to do this.

Treating Selected Project Resources as XQuery Collection?
by Eliot Kimber 05 May '16

05 May '16

I want to use the XQuery against files feature to do some quick analysis: Find topics with large tables and report those files and only those files. It's not obvious, and I didn't find it in the help, how to do this. My hope would be that when the scope selected in the XPath/XQuery builder is "selected project resources" that those would be treated as a collection so I could do e.g.: For $doc in collection() Return {do stuff with the docs} Is this possible? The analysis I'm trying to do is to find the largest tables within the set of documents and then report those tables sorted by size. I can do this as an Xpath but the results are ordered by the order of the documents in the input doc so I have to scroll through a list of 1500 results to find the few that I'm interested in. Of course I could do this in a standalone Xquery but I was hoping there was a quick way to do it in the Xquery builder. Thanks, Eliot ---- Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com
