Oxygen XML Forum

In Web Author, from the DITA Map pane, users have the option to select a new DITA Map to set as the root DITA Map of the current document.

However, the Choose File dialog that opens displays all files within a selected folder, regardless of the file's extension.

Is it possible to restrict the list of files that display when selecting a new root DITA Map to only files with a .ditamap extension?

Please see the following graphic: Thank you!

Hello Daniel,

Unfortunately, the file browser doesn't allow filtering displayed files but I've noted your interest on our internal issue tracker.
But how about having a dropdown with recently used DITA map files? Somewhat like in Oxygen XML Editor?

Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for your reply and for logging this on your internal issue tracker.

Since the file browser dialog is being opened from the DITA Map pane, I think it makes sense to limit the file types that are displayed to only .ditamaps similar to opening the file browser from Oxygen XML Editor's DITA Maps Manager view.

I do like your suggestion of having a dropdown that displays recently used DITA Map files as well. Just to confirm, you mean something like this? Another suggestion would be to have a dropdown that let users select which file types are displayed in the file browser dialog? Similar to Window's File Explorer dropdown? Thanks!

Daniel

Just to confirm, your mean something like this?

Yes, exactly like in your screenshot.
