Documents can be opened using one of the following actions:
Go to menu File > Open (Ctrl+O) to display the Open dialog. The start folder
of the Open dialog can be either the last folder visited by
this dialog or the folder of the currently edited file. This can be configured in the user preferences.
Press the Open toolbar button to
display the same dialog.
Press the Open URL ... toolbar button
to run the same action.
Go to menu File > Open/Find Resource ...
(Ctrl+Shift+R) to look for a document from the
current project
or from a DITA map opened in the DITA Maps
Manager view
by typing a part of the file name.
Press the Open/Find
Resource ... toolbar button to run the same action.
Go to menu File > Revert to load the last saved file content. All unsaved modifications are
lost.
Go to menu File > Reopen to reopen one of the recently opened document files. The list
containing recently opened files can be emptied by invoking the Clear
history action.
Select the action Open from the
Project view contextual menu. This opens the selected
file from the Project view.
Start the application from the command line with the paths of one or more local
files as parameters. The specified files will be opened automatically when the
application is started:
scriptName [pathToXMLFile1][pathToXMLFile2] ... where
scriptName is the name of the startup script for
your platform (
oxygenAuthor.bat on Windows,
oxygenAuthor.sh on Unix/Linux, oxygenAuthorMac.sh on Mac OS) and pathToXMLFileN is the name of a local XML file
The two possibilities of opening files at startup by specifying them in the
command line are explained also if the startup script receives one of the
-h or --help parameters.
