What version of Oxygen are you using? Or
are there multiple versions?
Hello Adrian,
Thank you for your answer.
I am using the latest version
(and also the latest build [which you
announced on 19th july on this list])
but many of the tabs inside my
(virtually) open projects
were opened at the time when I was
using the previous builds
(or the previous versions).
Oxygen has mostly behaved for me in
the expected manner
(as described by you)
I have never lost open tabs
information simply when alternating between 2 projects A and B
But if I work successively on 5
projects, A, B, C. D and E
I currently feel it is not guaranteed
that the tabs in A will have always been preserved when I return
from E to A
(using "reopen project")
I should add that I work on
multilingual texts [with 50% of the content in Tamil script)
which rely heavily on bidirectional support,
and that when the size of my files
grow, the time needed for switching between "Text Mode" and
"Author mode" can become rather long
(it can sometimes take 40 seconds for
"computing the layout")
The most acrobatic is of course when
I occasionally have to edit (in text mode) a file which is
beyond the limit where bidirectional support is disabled,
because in any line containing Tamil
I cannot rely on what I see on screen
and have to edit BLINDLY, on the
basis of what I know of the position where the cursor SHOULD BE
;-)
Can progress be expected in that
direction?
(I have always hesitated to encourage
my colleagues using the same environment as me
because I cannot stomach the idea
that they would find themselves stuck in a BLIND EDITING
situation of the type that I have just described ...
Nevertheless, Oxygen in a great
software for me,
which I use for several hours every
day
;-)
Best wishes

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.

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).
Regards,
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
