Oxygen 9.2 - Howto disable "DITA Maps Manager"?

Hello! Is there a way to disable the "DITA Maps Manager" to get files with extension .ditamap opened directly into the editor view? Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Hello, We will consider adding a user option for opening a DITA map in the DITA Map Manager view or directly in the editor panel. In the current version of Author/Oxygen you can open a DITA map directly in the editor panel by a drag and drop operation that takes the map file from the file explorer application (Windows Explorer, Mac OS Finder, etc.) to the editor panel. Do you find that editing the map in the DITA Map Manager view is difficult or it does not cover some editing actions specific for DITA maps? Regards, Sorin Jan Nylund wrote:

I use oxygen for developing and testing xsl stylesheets and I prefer to have full control over my ditamaps by editing in text mode. I think I'll just have to downgrade to oxygen 9.1 to avoid this in wait for the option to disable it. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Please note that the toolbar of the DITA Maps Manager view contains a button "Open map in editor" which opens the current map of the view in the editor panel. This is an alternative for the drag and drop operation that takes a DITA map from the explorer application to the Author/Oxygen editor panel. Regards, Sorin Jan Nylund wrote:
