Hello,
No, the BIDI functionality cannot be turned on manually but we will consider allowing the user to do that if the document size exceeds a maximum limit. That would be very convenient indeed.
The current maximum limit is about 300,000 characters and above this limit editing of BIDI documents can be very slow. How large are your BIDI documents?
I am preparing a catalogue of Arabic manuscripts for a large library. I do the initial editing in small batches but later everything is merged together in one file, whose size is currently approaching 1MB (i.e. 850 000 UTF-8 characters). About 20% of its content is in Arabic. I have modified the oxygen.sh script to start Oxygen with -Xmx512m (i.e. twice as much memory as the default), and on my Linux machine everything is running very smoothly up to now. If you want I can do some testing with large bidi documents once you have "unlocked" the BIDI limit. Thanks, François
