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.
