Show file names in maps

Post by rww »

Is there a way to show file names in a map, rather than the topic title?

Hi,

Sorry, but we do not have such an option. When you hover with the mouse pointer over each item you should also receive in the tooltip window the file location.
You can also open the DITA Map in the main editor in the Author mode and see the topicrefs directly there.
Could you elaborate on your use case?
Actually there was somebody else requesting this a couple of weeks ago, she actually wanted to insert references to those topics and I proposed some workarounds for her:

Like the OP in the topic you reference I am also coming from a Framemaker background and am used to being able to see the topic filename. However as I've since discovered since posting my question, it's not really necessary to know the filename as one can simply drag-n-drop the file from the map into a reltable (for instance) rather than selecting the cross-ref button and searching for the file.
