Documentation: Expand info for Logical Folders
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2016 2:12 am
For oXygen XML Editor 17.1
I'm a relative oXygen 17 newbie who has encountered the concept of Logical Folders via wanting to apply an XSL Transformation Scenario to multiple XML files:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ation.html
ONE -
I think it would very helpful to expand the information about logical folders to, at a minimum, explain the limitations that apply to their use within a project's documents tree. Evidently Logical Folders can (a) only be created at the topmost level of an oXygen project, and (b) cannot then be repositioned into a sub-foldler contained in the project's folders hierarchy(?) Note that I'm not sure that Logical Folders cannot in fact be repositioned, I've only inferred it after trying and failing to move a Logical Folder into the project's files hierarchy. Thu I think it would be helpful for the documentation to provide a bit more explanation about what can and cannot be done with Logical Folders.
TWO -
By extension, would it be possible / useful to enable Logical Folders to be positioned within a project's files hierarchy? This isn't a show-stopper for me in any way, but my sense of tidiness makes me want to create a Logical Folder in that part of the project where (at least in this specific instance) the XML files I want to batch transform are located. So if that capability became available I'd find it handy -- but again, it's not a show-stopper...
Cheers, thanks, & hope this helps,
