display refresh on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)
by Christian Wittern 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Dear oXygen users, I am evaluating oXygen for use on linux machines, specifically those running Ubuntu 16.04. Oxygen installs and starts fine, but after switching to another workspace and then back to the one that holds oXygen, the display is distorted. Most areas of the screen are black or white, in some areas the displayed content reappears after hovering with the mouse for a while. This makes it very difficult to use. I wonder if there is a solution or workaround. All the best, Christian -- Christian Wittern, Kyoto

Finding Files in Project View
by Eliot Kimber 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

I have a data set that has a large number of cryptically-named files in one directory, from which I need to find the one .ditamap file. Trying to use "Open/Find Resource" doesn't work because Oxygen wants to index stuff and on my machine that process never completes (or at least it doesn't in the time I'm willing to wait). What I'm looking for is really just a simple filter on the contents of the selected directory. Is that feature there somewhere I haven't noticed or is there a way to find this file in the project view? Thanks, Eliot ---- Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com

Search for Characters in Unicode *range*
by Andreas Wagner 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Dear all, In order to make sure that we have caught all special characters in an externally transcribed TEI/XML file, I would like to seach for all characters above Unicode Codepoint 0x00ff. Can this be done in the Regular Expression Find box? (I found the search for single unicode codepoints with \u, \x etc., but can't figure out if this can be used to search for characters (not) in codepoint ranges.

oxy_combobox() label for '<Empty>'?
by Tony Graham 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

For this element: <variable name="General_Serif_Font">Arial</variable> I have this (work-in-progress) Author-mode CSS: ====== variable::before { content: oxy_label(text, "Variable: ", width, 5em) oxy_textfield( edit, '@name', columns, 40 ) oxy_label(text, "Output: ") oxy_combobox( edit, '@output-type', editable, false, values, "web, print-color, print-mono", labels, "Web, Color, Mono", canRemoveValue, true, fontInherit, true ); font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif; } variable { display: block; content: " = " oxy_textfield( edit, '#text', columns, 40 ); visibility:-oxy-collapse-text; background-color: lightblue; } ====== The 'labels' property works, thank you, but how can I provide a label (and, eventually, a tooltip) such that the non-existence of the @output-type attribute shows as 'All', not '<Empty>'?

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!
