Elements view enhancement: Show/hide namespace

[DanielH]

Currently, when I use Oxygen's author mode, I am not really interested in seeing the namespace prefixes (in the Current tab) or the full namespace definitions (in the After/Before tabs). Also when I am using several schemas, it can interfere with the sorting of the elements shown in the view.

Would it be possible to implement a preference/setting that effectively shows/hides the namespace from the Elements view. In a similar manner to the Tags Display Mode, you could have a preference page which is the default behavior for Oxygen then you could have a toggle button on the view's toolbar to quickly show/hide the namespace.

Hi Daniel,

Usually the namespaces are not shown for elements displayed in the Elements view. The only exception is when some of the elements in the view have other namespaces than the ones currently declared in the context of the edited XML. I think this is your case. If for example you add namespace declarations on the root element for those other namespaces, then in the Elements view the elements would be shown only by qualified name (prefix:elementName).
