Importing DITA new topic preferences

[hestonhoffman]

Hi,

I'm having trouble importing global options "DITA / New topics" preferences. I want to make sure everyone on the team is using the following settings:



When I import a global settings file with the following entry, nothing happens (the other entries in the file work fine):

Code: Select all

		<entry>
				<String>Filename_generation_from_topic_title_options</String>
				<titleBasedFileNameGenerationOptions>
					<field name="charToReplaceSpacesWith">
						<String>_</String>
					</field>
					<field name="allLowerCase">
						<Boolean>true</Boolean>
					</field>
					<field name="upperCaseFirstLetter">
						<Boolean>false</Boolean>
					</field>
					<field name="howToGenerateFilenameFromTitle">
						<Integer>1</Integer>
					</field>
				</titleBasedFileNameGenerationOptions>
		</entry>

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Hello,

If everyone in the team is working on the same project, the best approach for sharing the options is to save them at the project level. Please see https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ns-section.

However, I also tested changing the global DITA > New Topics options in one oXygen instance (version 21), then I exported them to an XML file and finally I imported the options from that file in another instance of oXygen (version 22). After restarting this latter instance of oXygen, the options were set as expected and worked accordingly.

A third possibility for sharing your options would be to create a special plug-in written in Java or JavaScript. See https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ple_plugin.

All the best wishes,

Thanks, I'll take another look and see if I can get the import to work on a separate instance of of oXygen. The plugin option sounds intriguing. I'll look into that as well!
