New topicref insert dialog
I'm editing a map with a *lot* of topicref types (the PubMap domain from D4P). Because the new insert topicref dialog lists the topicref types first, this has the effect of forcing the "reference to currently-edited file" choice to the bottom of the list, which is a bit annoying. At least for myself, I almost always write a topic and then add it to the map, so reference to currently-edited file is the choice I almost always want.

Hi Eliot, I understand your use case and we will discuss it. Does anybody else consider that the "Reference to the currently-edited file" action from the DITA Maps Manager contextual menu should get promoted to top?

Just noticed that if the list of types exceeds the vertical extent of the screen then there's no way to scroll up or down under OSX that I can see. Cheers, E. On 8/30/10 2:24 AM, "Radu Coravu" <radu_coravu@sync.ro> wrote:

Hi Eliot, So from what I understand you have such a high number of topicref specializations that there is no room to display all the contextual menu Append operations. Is this right? Can I have a screenshot? We'll try to do something about this.

Hi Roger, We've decided to promote to the top of the contextual menu the two generic topic reference insert actions. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 9/17/2010 12:44 AM, Roger wrote:
