Feature Request: Drag Tabs to Project and DITA Map Views
by Eliot Kimber 16 May '08

16 May '08

I find myself wanting to grab tabs for open files and drag them into either the project view or dita map view in order to add them to the respective view. For the project, just add to the project. For DITA maps, create topicref to the file. That would make it easy to create a new file and then add it to map without having to go through the "add topicref" process.

XInclude warnings in version 9.2
by Cody Fauser 16 May '08

16 May '08

I just updated to version 9.2 build 2008050821. I have many XInclude tags in by Docbook document that include plain text code samples like the following: <programlisting><xi:include href='../code/output/actionmailer/generator_example.txt' parse='text' xmlns:xi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude'/></programlisting> With the new version I'm receiving a large red warning in the author view like: Error parsing external reference: file:/Users/cody/writing/oreilly/book/code/output/actionmailer/generator_example.txt. Cause: The replacement of an 'include' element appearing as the document element in the top-level source infoset cannot contain characters. Is there any way to prevent this behavior? It is very visually distracting and fills some pages of my document almost entirely with the red warnings. -- Cody Fauser http://shopify.com - e-commerce done right http://www.codyfauser.com - blog http://peepcode.com/products/activemerchant-pdf - ActiveMerchant PeepCode http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rjsrails - RJS Templates for Rails

Map Editor: New Topicrefs Have Scope="peer"
by Eliot Kimber 15 May '08

15 May '08

I have been using the map editor by creating topicrefs to non-existent topics and then using the "topic doesn't exist, create new?" feature to create the referenced topic. The one problem I'm finding is that when I create the topicref, after I specify the URL of the target topic, the dialog sets the scope= value to "peer", which I then have to change to "local" so the reference will be correct. The URL I'm specifying is relative to the location of the map document, so the dialog should be able to tell that the target, while it doesn't exist, will be below the map's location (I can't think of any other way it would presume to guess whether a referenced topic is local or a peer). Alternatively, it should always take any relative path to be a local reference and any absolute path to be a peer path.

Re: [oXygen-user] v 9.2 acting flaky

Hi Rob, This behavior is configurable through a Java system property passed in the command line. You need to edit the oxygen.sh script to specify multiple instances to false, see also the comment in the oxygen.sh script about that: # Set multiple instances to false if you want to have a single running instance of Oxygen when # repeatedly starting oxygen.sh. In this way you can open files by typing: # oxygen.sh File.xml # The files will be opened in the first editor instance, will not create other processes. # java -Xss512k -Xmx256m\ "-Dcom.oxygenxml.editor.plugins.dir=$OXYGEN_HOME/plugins"\ -Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true\ -cp "$CP" ro.sync.exml.Oxygen "$@" If you use the executable to open oXygen then you need to make sure the multiple instances is not set to true in the oxygen.vmoptions file.

SVN commit dialog issue
by Timothy Reaves 12 May '08

12 May '08

In the svn compoent, the commit dialog shouldn't be modal. I'm tired of needed to cancel out of a commit because I want to diff one of the files in the commit to see what has changed in that file. I'm having to open MacVim and create all of my comments there, and then copy/paste those into the commit dialog, which is also inconvenient. Thanks.

Shortcut Problem
by Philipp Steinkrüger 12 May '08

12 May '08

Dear Oxy-users, I am currently trying to learn how to do DocType Associations and I experienced two problems, a minor and a major one. Heres the minor problem: I created a new button to insert a <lb/> element. Inserting works fine, i.e. after clicking the button, a <lb/> appears in the code. But in author mode, i guess because <lb/ > is defined as a block element (to actually make the linebreak appear) it is shown as <lb></lb> and the cursor in placed inside the <lb></lb> after inserting it. So if the editor continues to write, he fills the <lb> which is of course not allowed by the schema. What I would like to do is to position the cursor behind the element after inserting it. is that possible? The major problem concerns shortcuts: i defined a shortcut for the button, but it just doesn't work. Thats also true for predefined buttons, not only for my newly created ones. I tried to use the TEI Doctype and no shortcut works. I have no idea how to approach this problem. What could I do? Thanks!

Forgot to CC the list. Anyway, I just lost keyboarding ability again -- I am using oXygen standalone - not in eclipse. Clicking with the mouse works fine and keying in other apps works fine (including eclipse). I have started from a panel icon with the command: /bin/sh "/home/rkoberg/apps/Oxygen9/oxygen" I am going to start is with the shell script as you recommend below. thanks, -Rob On Fri, 2008-05-09 at 12:42 -0400, Robert Koberg wrote: > I deleted the default /opt/Oxygen9 install and installed it under my > home folder and so far I have not lost the ability to use my keyboard > (yes, I lost all keying ability in oxygen, every other open app worked > fine). > > I originally installed with sudo: > > $ sudo sh ./oxygen.sh > > I let it install to the default (/opt/Oxygen9).

v 9.2 acting flaky
by Robert Koberg 09 May '08

Hi, Is it just me or is version 9.2 acting strangely? I keep losing the ability to use the keyboard for things like cut and paste. I am on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (8.x with the latest updates). I have java 1.6.05 installed. I noticed in the install that oxygen cam bundled with this JVM as well(??). rkoberg:$ java -version java version "1.6.0_05" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode) thanks, -Rob

Hi, when you try to C14N document with non-Latin1 characters, you will get mangled output. Do you think that this could be fixed in the next release?

Author mode doesn't support accented letters in selectors
by Jirka Kosek 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi, it seems that in Author mode (in oXygen 9.1) doesn't recognize accented letters in CSS selectors and thus it is not unable to properly style documents that use non-English characters in element names. See attached test files. Text "AAA" should display in red, but Author mode displays it in black as it ignores selector in čuk { color: red; } Jirka -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka(a)kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML consulting and training services DocBook customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ OASIS DocBook TC member, W3C Invited Expert, ISO JTC1/SC34 member ------------------------------------------------------------------
