[oXygen-user] Interrupting XPath

[Adrian Buza]

Hi,

Unfortunately the XPath executed from the XPath toobar or the XPath 
Builder view cannot be interrupted. We have this improvement request 
listed on our issue tracking tool and we will implement it in a future 
version of Oxygen.

An alternative would be to execute the XPath as an XQuery 
transformation(which can be stopped). Create a new XQuery file, paste 
the XPath expression there and configure a transformation 
scenario(Document -> Transformation -> Configure Transformation Scenario).
However, from my tests it seems that the XQuery transformation is only 
stopped after the XPath evaluation is finished. It saves maybe 1 second 
for a 10 second XPath evaluation(not sure if this scales linearly).

Regards,
Adrian
