[oXygen-user] Perspective

[Mark]

Hello Adrian,
Thanks for your answer. Not quite: I want Perspective to appear in the menu 
as in earlier versions.

I am using <oXygen/> XML Editor 12.0, build 2010091411 on Windows Vista. I 
have not set any options differently than I did for version 11. Oxygen opens 
in the editor. Unlike earlier versions,  Perspective does not appear in the 
top menu, even though it is checked in the Configure Toolbars dialog. There 
are only two ways I can open the debugger:

1. Doing this makes the icons appear on the right end of the toolbar 
initially.
If I left-click on the toolbar itself, the dropdown always shows Perspective 
without a yellow box and checkmark. If I click on the dropdown Perspective, 
the four perspective icons appear at the right of the toolbar, just after 
the Search icons. When I click on the debugger icon, the debugger opens and 
the four perspective icons immediately shift to the far left. When I finish 
with the debugger and click on the editor icon, the four icons disappear. 
Clicking on the toolbar again shows Perspective in the dropdown again 
without a yellow box and checkmark. The yellow box and checkmark remain only 
so long as the debugger is open.

2. Doing this makes the icons appear on the left end of the toolbar 
initially.
Or, if from the editor, I click on Window->Open Perspective->XSLT Debugger, 
the four icons appear at the left end of the toolbar.

In either case, clicking on the editor icon causes the icons for the other 
perspectives to disappear. In no case does the Perspective menu item ever 
appear in the top menu (as it did in earlier versions). What I have is: File 
Edit Find Project Options Tools Document Window Help.

I use the editor and the debugger extensively when I am doing development 
and am finding this situation very awkward and clumsy.

Hope this is clearer,
Mark

Hi Mark,

So, if I understand correctly, you want to keep the Debugger
toolbars(Debugger status, control and engine) when switching to the XML
perspective?
These toolbars are only available in the XSLT Debugger perspective. If
you need these toolbars when editing, it is simpler to stay in the XSLT
Debugger perspective and just make visible the other toolbars(Validate,
Transformation, etc) and views(Project, Outliner, etc) that you need.
You can show any view from the main menu: Window -> Show View -> ...
When switching the perspective, the layout of the previous
perspective(toolbars and views) is saved so you only have to configure
it once.

Let me know if I misunderstood and you were trying to achieve something
else.

Regards,
Adrian
