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-cd... 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?
