Problem with setting structured application in new FrameMaker version

Dear all,

 

I have a problem with FrameMaker 2022 and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I use docbook XML and have a problem with opening xml files correctly.

 

When I try opening an xml file with FrameMaker 2022, it opens the "Save Book" window and tries to get me to save the xml document as a book. How can I get it to open xml files properly?

 

I have opened, edited and saved the said xml files with FrameMaker 2020 succesfully, but now that I want to take FrameMaker 2022 into use, I can't. I have activated Structured FrameMaker interface in Preferences.

 

I'm probably just missing something. Should I copy the structured application files somewhere in the new FrameMaker installation? I tried comparing the old installation (FM 2020) with the new (FM 2022), but I couldn't find any differences.

 

I obviously can't set the Structured application in the FrameMaker from Structure > Set Structured Application... since I cannot open any xml files to begin with.

 

Someone else did the pre-settings for the FrameMaker 2020 and I cannot ask them anymore. I hope you can help me.

 

Thank you very much!

Does your XML contain a DOCTYPE element at the top?

If so, go through your structured applications (both global and local structapps.fm files) and ensure that the only structapp addressing the DOCTYPE is the one you want.
