feature request: pick XSL file from open editor
by Lars Huttar 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hi all, Feature request: When you go to the Configure Transformation Scenario dialog, then click on New, you have various ways to specify the XSL URL: Browse for local input XSL file, etc. The way that is not offered, which would be useful, would be to select an XSL file that is currently open in one of Oxygen's editing buffers.

Command-G and searching in OS X version of 6 beta

In the Mac OS X version of 6 beta, there is a keyboard shortcut for "Find Previous" (Shift-Command-G), but no shortcut for "Find Next". The expected Command-G shortcut for this is assigned to "Go to Last Modification". (In oXygen 5.1, Command-G = "Search Again".) The version 5.1 behavior should be restored -- Apple users expect Command-G to do "find next" in any application, thanks, David -- David Sewell, Editorial and Technical Manager Electronic Imprint, The University of Virginia Press PO Box 400318, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4318 USA Courier: 310 Old Ivy Way, Suite 302, Charlottesville VA 22903 Email: dsewell(a)virginia.edu Tel: +1 434 924 9973 Web: http://www.ei.virginia.edu/

oXygen beta 6 Visual Relax NG editor chokes on large schemas
by David Sewell 12 May '05

12 May '05

Probably a mistake, but the first document I opened with oXygen 6 beta was the Relax NG schema for the OASIS OpenDocument format: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11680/office-schema-1.0-c… That is a long (530KB) and complex schema, and on my system it made oXygen freeze for all practical purposes--extremely long wait times for screen rewrites, etc. (I'm running the standalone Mac OS X version on a dual G4 867MHz PowerMac). Is this something that optimization can help with before the final release? If not, is there a way to turn off the visual schema editor in the Preferences so that it won't start when a file is loaded?

modified flag cleared by Undo (feedback on Oxygen 6.0 beta)
by Lars Huttar 12 May '05

12 May '05

Dear Oxygen people, One thing I would like to see in Oxygen is a feature that's present in many editors: when you open a file, make a change, and Undo that change, it would be nice to have the modification flag (shown by an asterisk) cleared. Regards, Lars

oXygen 6 beta
by George Cristian Bina 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hello everybody, The *best version of <oXygen/> ever* is ready for a first run :). We just uploaded a beta build of the new oXygen 6 at the URLs below [1]. Please give it a try and let us know your feedback. The first main new feature is the *schema visual diagram*. Strong points are: - support for both *XML Schemas* and *Relax NG schemas* - side by side source and diagram presentation - source and diagram are synchronized in *real time* (no background parsing) - print and save as image support Another important feature is the *diff and merge* support (available only from the standalone distributions). It is in fact a *complete diff and merge solution featuring - 6 diff algorithms (*XML Accurate*, *XML Fast*, *Syntax Aware*, *Line* level, *Word* level and *Character* level) - both *file and directory* comparison and merging - a nice GUI presentation of the diff results with *change guide lines* and *synchronized scrolling* - support for automatic selection of the diff algorithm - the possibility to *go into details* at word or character level on the found modifications - *editing* any of the documents directly in the diff GUI - easy invocation of the diff from the project panel and more. The third main feature is the import support from a number of external data sources like - any JDBC enabled database - comma, space, tab, semicolon separated text files - Excel sheets Of course there are a lot of other features, like XML Signature support (sign and verify), XML Canonicalization support, the possibility to define proxy namespace mappings for the XPath evaluations, support for the latest Saxon 8.4 for XSLT 2.0, improvements in the performance and in the user interaction and more. Enjoy, and do not forget to send us feedback ;) ! Hmm...

Beta 6
by Sean Wheller 10 May '05

10 May '05

Hi, Great job on beta 6. Just been playing with it a bit today. Especially interested in the comparison tools. Now the only thing missing is diff against a vcs. One quick way to implement this may be to work as a front end to cvs, svn, tla or baz. I think it would be safe to assume that any person wanting to make diffs would have one or more of these applications installed. It should therefor be possible to enable an Oxygen user to create a diff against the repository and view it before doing a commit. The next step from this is to implement the ability for a user to view patches, merge them and then commit them. What do you think? Can you get this in before release? -- Sean Wheller sean(a)enbaya.co.za http://www.enbaya.co.za

Feedback on oXygen V6 Beta
by Eliot Kimber 10 May '05

10 May '05

I'm in the middle of a project where we are developing XSLT 2 transforms and using complex XSD schemas, so the new features in V6 were quite welcome (we had been using Turbo XML for Schema viewing by oXygen for XSLT and schema editing--we get Turbo for free with our licenses of Epic Editor). I like the schema viewer but there are a few things that I think would make it more effective to work with (in rough order of priority) (this is for the full model view--I haven't fully explored the logical view, but it might address some of my comments below): 1. Ability to control collapsing of entire tree, e.g. "collapse children/expand children). When you're dealing with a large schema with lots of top-level elements and types and you want to focus on just one part it's tedious to collapse everything. It would probably help to also have the default be to have all the children of the root initially collapsed. Epic Editor's XML tree view has a neat feature that I've never seen anywhere else: if you triple click on a tree item it will collapse the children of that item--this makes it really quick to collapse a long list of children. 2. Option to view just the element/type hierarchy without all the details of reference, refinement, extension, etc. As it is, it can be a little difficult to navigate down through a hierarchy of element types because the tree can get pretty wide, so there's a lot of scrolling, especially if you've used long names for types (as I tend to do). One of the nice things about Turbo's view is that it is pretty quick to navigate down the tree. 3. Provide a "where used" view, that is, when you click on an element type, show what other element or type contexts it's allowed in, from which you can navigate to those types. 4. In the logcal model view, also synchronize with the source, including providing the option to open the containing XSD file if it's not already open. Things I really like: - The list of types, elements, and groups. Very handy for getting a view over how the schema is organized from a coding standpoint. - The synchronization of the tree view with the markup view. Really handy. Will save much time now spent doing searches for specific entries in the schema. - The showing of enumerations for element content. - For the logical model view, the grouping of types by their namespace.
