outline view element name filter not working

[qlurulg]

I open up an xsd file in the editor (using editor out of the box, w/ no special config) and try to find some element by name in the file using the outline view element name filter, but the filter returns no results. Oxygen help states that the filter is case insensitive and that simple search string like 'foo' is transformed into search string like '*foo*'. Looked, but found, no relevant forum topics re: this problem.

Already wasted too much time playing with this. Why doesn't it just work?

I open up an xsd file in the editor and try to find an element via the outline view element name filter, but it returns no results for an element name I can see exists in the xsd file. I have not done special config to oxygen. Oxygen help states:

Tip: The search filter is case insensitive. The following wildcards are accepted:
* - any string
? - any character
, - patterns separator
If no wildcards are specified, the string to search will be searched as a partial match (like *textToFind*).

What do I need to do to get this filter to work?

Hello,

Note that currently (v14.2) Oxygen displays in the Outline view only the global elements and attributes. It does not show local/nested elements and attributes.

So, the question is what type of element are you looking for? Is it a global element (declared directly in the schema) or a local one (nested inside another type or element)?

Apologies for double posting the question. Didn't realize the forum was moderated and couldn't confirm the existence of the post via "View your posts" link; I couldn't immediately see the effect of the submit button.

Solution Found:

I was running Oxygen Author and using its outline view element name filter, which does not let me filter global elements by name.

When I run Oxygen Author the outline view filter works correctly, in an intuitive way.

Thanks.

Correction...

Oxygen Editor outline view filter works properly.

Hi,

Oxygen XML Author does not have support for editing XML schemas, so it presents the XML schema just like any other XML file with a generic XML Outline view. If you open the XML schema in Oxygen XML Editor or Developer they correctly show you the XML schema specific Outline view.
