As promised in an earlier post to the framers list, here are some concerns I
have about the FM 11 codeview mode. I am also copying this to
framemaker-d...@yahoogroups.com since it falls in that domain. Maybe I am
missing something easy that would solve these issues. I would be happy to be
made aware of ways of dealing with them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I
find myself working in the FM11 codeview mode a lot and have the following
complaints: I wish FM would leave my indenting alone and not collapse
everything (or some things).I wish FM would not added navtitles and metadata
tags that I don't need. This seems to happen when I save after returning to the
WYSIWYG view (which I try not to do for that reason).The codeview interface
often lacks a scroll bar when you enter it. Hitting the minimized and then
maximize window icons gets them, but that should be fixed so you don't have to
do that.
One more trying aspect of the current implementation: Since I am converting
files to DITA I often work with a non-structured file open to consult or
sometimes cut-and-paste from. This file disappears when I move to codeview,
which makes sense since it does not have a structure with text to view.
Returning to WYSIWYG mode always returns the file to a docked tab, so I have to
reposition it to the other monitor again and again. Can't these windows just be
left where they were placed? Enough for now. Craig Ede
