[oXygen-user] Feature request: Extend the project functionality!

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

Only one Oxygen project can be active at a moment of time - the project 
displayed in the Project view. You close the current project by creating 
a new one with the New Project action available on the toolbar of the 
project view. Switching between projects is possible by selecting a 
recent project from the menu Project -> Reopen Project which closes the 
current project (with a confirmation dialog for saving the changes that 
are not saved yet) and reopens the one selected in the submenu Reopen 
Project. Does it look more intuitive with an explicit Close Project 
action and a list of more than one project opened at the same time?

XML catalogs can be stored at project level or at a global level just 
like the transformation scenarios. You can switch between the two modes 
at any time with the radio buttons Global Options and Project Options 
available in the XML Catalog panel (menu Options -> Preferences -> XML 
-> XML Catalog). This feature is available for most preferences panel in 
the Preferences dialog and is described in the User Manual:
