[XXE] New Window feature

[Jeff Hooker]

Hello Hussein,

When attempting to use the New Window feature, selecting File > Quit in any of 
the windows results in all windows closing and the application shutting down. I 
thought that this might be related to having XXE running in Single User 
Instance mode, so I disabled it, restarted XXE, and tried again with the exact 
same results. The guidance in the XXE Changes pages suggests that this is not 
expected behavior. I'm running 6.0 on Windows 8.1, but it performs the same way 
in CentOS 6.0. Is this a known issue or is my situation unique?

Regards,
Jeff.

Yes that's normal. However you can easily create a custom mediaobject 
template containing a videoobject using "Options|Customize 
Configuration|Save Selected Element As Template". See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html

please clarify



The facility you expect is not available for videoobject and audioobject 
elements. Videoobject and audioobject elements are currently not as well 
supported as imageobject elements are.


If you want to specify the fileref attribute of the videodata element 
please proceed as follows:


1) Click on the "film" icon to select the videodata element.
2) Use the Attributes tool to give attribute fileref a value. There is a 
"Choose file" which can be used for that.

No, this problem is not related to "Single User Instance mode".

That's right. This is clearly not the expected behavior.




I’m running
6.0 on Windows 8.1, but it performs the same way in CentOS 6.0. Is this
a known issue or is my situation unique?



I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce the problem you describe using stock 
XXE v6.3 (with or without "Single User Instance mode").

Sorry for my poor wording. By "that's normal", I meant "this is not a 
bug per se".





but not a desired user experience


I certainly agree with that.




and will be fixed over time?!?


I'm really sorry but the answer is no.

Please understand that DocBook has several hundred elements (and 
counting...with the advent of DocBook 5.1) and that our XML editor 
cannot provide a decent user experience in all use cases.


That's why we have made our XML editor customizable (by end-users to 
certain extent) and extensible (by IT consultants, not by end-users.)







I will try your instructions


I'm sure that you'll find "Save Selected Element As Template" very useful.
