<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Windows 7, oXygen 13.2 (both Author and Editor), does not exit when Windows attempts to shut down or log out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can hit cancel and then I can usually shut them down manually.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, sometimes Author is then in a state of having the main text window all gray, and not responding to input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On a separate note, but possibly related, yesterday I was working on a new “DITA Scenario”, and had to start over.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I updated some other software and had to reboot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am pretty sure Author got into that gray text window state at the shutdown.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then, later in the morning I had trouble with builds.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The value of ${cfd} passed to the builds was incorrect, Author was instead passing the Editor installation folder in “C:\Program Files”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a few minutes of this, I decided to restart Author.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it restarted, it had renamed the Project File to a name with “temp” in it, and was running without it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used SVN update to get a working version of the Project File and recreated my new “DITA Scenario”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Notes:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Installed: Oxygen Editor 13.2, build 2012052412<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I generally run both Editor and Author simultaneously (both from the Editor installation), editing XSLT and Ant code in Editor and testing it in Author.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also installed: oXygen 11.2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I use it with other another XML build that needs its own oXygen Framework.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think that’s because its “topic” XML type conflicts with the one in DITA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using: Windows 7, Version 6.1.7601 SP 1 Build 7601<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Standalone version, not integrated with Eclipse.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My normal logout practice has been to log out only on Fridays,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and to close oXygen Author and Editor when I leave work at the end of the day, in case an update restarts Windows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Somewhat relevant tools – ones that hook into Windows Explorer right-click menu with more than “Open with me!”:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Q-Dir to replace Windows Explorer. Pretty much eliminates restarting Windows Explorer when it crashes.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>TortoiseGIT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why don’t software companies make the “version” field selectable and copy-able, in the About box or equivalent?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That would be a minor feature request, trivial to do, but useful every time someone reports a bug.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Microsoft should do it, not just oXygenXML.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All my very best,<o:p></o:p></p>
