Hello,
What version of Oxygen are you using? Or are there multiple
versions?
-- is there a limit in the number of open
tabs which can be remembered? (or in the number of virtually open
projects between which one can smoothly navigate)
There is no limit for the number of opened tabs that are remembered
(we call it "project editing state"). Only one project is
open at any given time, the rest are just history. Even if they are
lost from the project history their opened tabs are still
remembered.
-- can discontinuities [in remembering] be
caused by the installation of a new build (or a new version)?
Yes, that is possible because of version changes.
Since v21.0 the mechanism for keeping the project editing state has
changed, a distinct file is used for each version of Oxygen. When
updating versions (from an old version to a newer version) the
project editing state of the older version is imported in the newer
one the first time you run the new one.
If you go back to an old version (e.g. v21.0), you will not see
any changes in project editing state made with the new version
(e.g. v21.1). Also, after the initial import (first time a new
version is run), if you make changes with an older version (v21.0)
in the project editing state, they will not be imported again when
you start the newer version (v21.1).

Adrian

Dear
members of the Oxygen support team and of the user group,
I have a question concerning the IMPERMANENCE of open tabs in
Oxygen projects.
Mor precisely, I am currently working on several ancient texts,
for which I am preparing electronic editions (in a progressively
changing XML format) and each text has its own project.
When I exit Oxygen, I usually leave several tabs open in the
currently open project, and I expect to find themselves still open
when I restart Oxygen (and I can see that Oxygen reloads the open
files, whih can take time because many files are bulky and contain
complex structures with possibly tens of thousands of elements.
When I switch from one project to another one (using the "Reopen
project" in the "Project" menu) I have also come to expect that I
shall find the same open tabs as I had left open during the
previous editing session for the same project (which is therefore
"virtually open")
Howevever, I have recently noticed that this does not always
happen.
On several occasions, I have had to individually reopen files,
after using the "Reopen project"
(which currently lists 29 projects in its menu)
This being said,
I can now restate my question.
-- is there a limit in the number of open tabs which can be
remembered? (or in the number of virtually open projects between
which one can smoothly navigate)
-- can discontinuities [in remembering] be caused by the
installation of a new build (or a new version)?
Thanks for clarifications
