Thanks for the workaround but it may be tedious It's hundred zips containing thousands of XML files that I need to validate and check I'm on a mac and my SSD drive is relatively small, hence the demands to be able to process directly from the zip I thought it may be an interesting facility within Oxygen, for example to process Excel files with hundreds of sheets Xmlizer On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 1:37 PM, Adrian Buza <adrian@sync.ro> wrote:
Hello,
Unfortunately ZIP archives can only be opened in the Archive Browser and cannot be mounted in the Project view to perform batch validations/transformations on multiple files. Note however that you can still perform validations, transformations and execute XPath on one file at a time by opening them(from the Archive Browser) in the editor and executing these operations there just like for any other file.
There is a workaround(somewhat awkward) that allows you to perform batch operations on files from a ZIP archive. The problem with this workaround is that you have to individually add(link) the files from the archive to the Project. The workaround is as follows: 1. Close all editors in Oxygen(to simplify things). 2. Open the ZIP archive(File -> Open should open it in the Archive Browser) 3. In the Archive Browser expand directories and and select each and all of the files that you want to add to the project. To open them right click(CTRL+click on the Mac) on a selected file and from the popup menu choose Open. All the selected files from the archive will be opened in a few seconds. 4. In the Project view create a logical folder in the project root(or in another logical folder): New -> Logical Folder 5. Select the newly created logical folder in the Project view, right click(CTRL+click on the Mac) on an editor tab from the editor area and from the popup menu choose: Add All to Project 6. Now you can perform batch operations(validations/**transformations) on the files from the archive linked in the Project view.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Dear all,
I'm trying to process big data in XML
This data is in XML files and I want to be able to mount the ZIP files directly in oxygen to be able to do validation and few transformation and XPath
Can we do that ?
