Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,

I am using Oxygen Web Author 26.1.

We have implemented a custom URL chooser.
In the DITA Map panel, the DITA Map folder button and the filter button trigger the custom URL chooser.
For these two buttons, we would like to have the possibility to load a dedicated URL chooser but it seems that there is no way to distinguish the source in the context (The URLs are both 'GENERIC').

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your help,

Johann

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Do you see any workaround that we can use while awaiting further developments on your part?

Regards,

Johann

Hello,

The only workaround is to implement your own file browser, relying on the file listing API [1] [2] [3].

Hello,

We wanted to let you know that Web Author version 28 has been released, and the improvement you requested has been implemented.
The API now correctly receives (or DITAVAL / DITAPROJECT) when selecting items using the Browse button in the DITA Map side-view.


To see what else this new version brings, you can visit the What’s New section -> https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html

Hello,

We are pleased to announce that Web Author 28.1 has been released.

The file browser was enhanced to filter available files based on the current task.
When inserting images, maps, DITAVAL files, or other resources, only compatible file types are displayed.
This helps you quickly locate the appropriate files and prevents selecting unsupported resources during authoring.

For more information about the File Browser Descriptor API, please refer to this topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ation.html

To learn more about what’s new in this version, please see the What's New section [1].

Best,
Cosmin
