Hello Hussein, Thank you for agreeing.
I will miss the Navigation pane; it was useful for smaller documents. With our CCMS and the latency between the client and the server, larger ditamaps took too long to load for the feature to be realistically usable. Is there some other navigation tool you are planning for use with ditamaps, or does this signal a de-emphasizing of the DITA schema for your product?

See "Incompatibilities" in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/changes.html#v6.3.0 OK. What you told us is convincing. We also know at least one other use case where this feature could be useful: use the "Easy Profiling" add-on to give distinct styles to the @status attribute depending on its value: new, changed, deleted. That's why we'll restore this feature in next version of XMLmind XML Editor, that is, v7.1. --- PS: Please take the time to review the changes made to v7: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/changes.html#v7.0.0 You may not like some of these changes ("Navigation panes have been suppressed"). -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
