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

Does anyone know of the benefits of using Intel's engines? Is it faster than Saxon or Xalan?

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.

Hi all, Has anyone else on the digest view of this list noticed that the text of most posts gets repeated within that post? For instance, posts 1, 2 and 4 have the text occurring twice, whereas posts 3 and 5 don't. Thanks, .

Code Templates for Author Mode
by Eliot Kimber 03 Jun '08

I set up a code template to create a DITA draft comment. This works in text mode but not in Author mode. Is there the equivalent for author mode? I didn't see anything that suggested a way to do it for author mode.

Feature Request: Control-click type and ref attribute values in xsd editor to jump around the schema
by Andrew Welch 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, Would it be possible to make type and ref attributes in the xsd editor clickable so that control clicking them jumps to their targets? For example: 1. <xs:element name="foo" type="foo"/> 2. 3. <xs:complexType name="foo"> 4. <xs:sequence> 5. <xs:element ref="foo"/> Clicking type="foo" at 1. jumps to line 3, and clicking ref="foo" at line 5. jumps back to line 1. I know you can do this currently using the diagram view, but it would be really useful if you could do it directly from within the editor. thanks -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

Map Editor Should Remember Last Directory Used for Topicrefs
by Eliot Kimber 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I noticed that if I use the map editor to create a topic ref, then go to a different file (in my case, a DTD declaration module) then create another topicref, the remembered directory is the directory containing the file I just edited, not the last directory I used to create a topic ref. I think it's the likely case that authors will be linking to topics in the last directory they linked from. Would be convenient if the map editor remembered this directory.

<oXygen/> as diff tool for TortoiseSVN
by Hedley Finger 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I want to use TortoiseSVN as the poor man's CMS for my XML project (based on DITA DTDs). The built-in diff-merge is line oriented, as are many other diff tools intended for programmers. This can lead to excessive flagging of differences in XML files which, by XML conventions for white space, linebreaks, attribute order, etc. are perfectly identical. Has anybody successfully used <oXygen/> as an XML diff-merge tool with TortoiseSVN or any other programming version management programme? How do you set TortoiseSVN up to invoke <oXygen/> and pass filename parameters, etc.? Any help received will earn my undying and pathetic gratitude! Regards, Hedley P.S.
