Proposal: When opening an XML Document for the very first time I'd like
to see an option for specifying the initial view mode e.g., (Docbook |
Table of Contents | XML Source).
Background: I was regularly editing a larger master document in »Table
of Contents« view mode for an extended time period. This document had to
be moved to a new filesystem location requiring to re-open it. XXE
started opening it in »Docbook« mode becoming unresponsive for several
minutes and generating maximum system load on all cores before I
eventually killed the application. The application may have been
overwhelmed by this large document containing lots of images and formulas.
I then tried to clear the cache and eventually the whole ~/.xxe10 folder
to no avail. My last resort became tweaking the
~/.xxe10/preferences.properties file manually by crafting a line:
viewSettings=file\:/home/.../mydocument.xml\nTable of contents;...
Only then was I able to open the master document in question and working
on its modules.
We'll make our best efforts to implement this feature, but only as a
command line option, e.g.
xxe -view 'Table of Contents' my_large_doc.xml
Note that this new command line option would end up doing exactly what
you did by hand, that is, update the viewSettings user preferences (See
"viewSettings" in
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/preferenceKeys.html).
