Transformation scenarios for archives

Currently you can reference the current archive as an editor variable in transformation scenarios. However, you can only do it when transformations are being applied to a file within an archive. It would be immensely useful to be able to apply those transformations directly to the archive file.

I'm particularly thinking of XProc and ANT based scenarios here because the other tend not to handle archives well.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback.

I have logged your request to our issue tracking tool. It will be analyzed and if found appropriate, it will be implemented in a future version of Oxygen.

Hi,

Just to update this thread, some time ago, in Oxygen 13.0, we added these editor variables:
${afd} - archive file directory
${afdu} - archive file directory URL
${afn} - archive file name
The editor variables can be used in order to apply ANT (or any other type of) scenarios directly on archives opened in the Archive Browser view.

Regards,
Radu
