11.2 XPath box in Find/Replace stuck?
Hi there, using oXygen 11.2, build 2010031611 on Mac OS X in text mode, I'm unable to activate the XPath constraint box in the Find/Replace dialogue (it seems to invariably stay grayed out). Is this a known bug, or am I overlooking something? Thanks, Markus P.S.

Hello, The XPath field is activated in the Find/Replace diaog only if the document is well-formed XML. An XPath expression cannot be applied on a text fragment that is not well-formed XML. Is your document a well-formed XML one? If yes please post a small sample for reproducing the problem. Regards, Sorin Markus Flatscher wrote:

Sorin, yes, my data is well-formed. Is it possible that this is related to file size? It doesn't seem to happen with small files, but only with files of a size of 15K lines or so. Markus Sorin Ristache wrote:

Hello, The XPath field is disabled if the file size is larger than the minimum limit for large files that is set in Preferences -> Editor -> Open/Save -> Performance. It is one of the limitations of the support for editing very large files: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/large-file-editor.html These limitations try to avoid OutOfMemory errors and also improve the editing speed for very large files.

Hello Markus, I've analyzed the files you provided and it seems you chose to always line wrap documents with long lines(>5000 chars on a line). However on line wrapped documents the XPath gives erroneous results(only the start tags are reported) so the XPath in the Find in Files has been disabled in this case as well. To work around this you can increase the maximum allowed number of chars on a line for a document in Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Open/Save. Change the 'Format document when longest line exceeds' from 5000 to 10000 or 20000 and the XPath field will be enabled after reopening the editor.

Adrian, thanks for looking into this, and for the advice. Things work as usual after following it. Is there a way for a user to obtain some information from the application when certain settings change default behavior (a report, a warning message, or the like)? Markus Adrian Buza wrote:

Hi, We try not to overwhelm the user with warning dialogs and at the same time not withhold information from him/her. The solution chosen so far has been to offer a link in the dialog to a section in the user manual that describes the changes/limitations that appear as a consequence of the user's actions. For example in this case a dialog was shown which asked if you want to 'Format' the document or 'Line wrap' it so it could be opened. But there was also a 'See help for details' link to the user manual that mentioned a few things that get disabled when using 'line wrap', specifically this one: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/long-lines-document.html Now, reading the message from the dialog again, I guess it's not that obvious that some limitations will be instated. It's only mentioned in the help section. Regards, Adrian PS: You can see that dialog again if you change in the Open/Save option pane to 'Always ask'. Markus Flatscher wrote:
