It can check the file extension.

Need Tom's input here, as I don't know what's going on, but we can't have a situation where you need to remember to do something important every time you open a file.

C'mon guys.

Using your example if you open cTabNav.rlm in a text/code editor and search for en-GB or even GB it isn't found but if you open cTabNav.rlm in xerte that language property does show so is it being automatically generated elsewhere?

Ron has hit the nail on the head.

When you create a new pages project in Xerte, the language attribute is added to the project.

What is happening is that when a model file is opened directly in Xerte (rather than being added to a project) then the language attribute is getting added to the model.

The editor needs to differentiate between a model file and a project file.

I haven't hit this before because I always update models by creating a new project and a page of the type I am working on.

When finished developing and testing I save the model and edit out the templateData property in Flash Develop,

Kind regards

Something wrong then, because I just opened this and see it: you can see the path to the file.

runtime/pages/models

This is the 'one' location, right? Where else would I be looking?

Every model seems to have language en-GB set in it.

Which location are you looking in?

I updated both my Xerte and XOT svns this morning.

I have used Flash Develop to perform a search in folders for   language="en-GB"

It found no occurrences of the string in

Xerte svn / runtime / pages / models

It found 3 occurrences in

XOT svn / modules / xerte / parent_templates / Nottingham / models

These were
hotspotImage.rlm
list.rlm
newWindow.rlm

Kind regards

If I recall correctly, you said they shouldn't. Before I delete them all, is that the case?

We are never going to get this finished if, when people find issues, they don't fix them. So in this case, fixing the three recently edited files was good, but it would also have been good to think 'how many other models have this in them?'

C'mon guys.


You said:

Just a reminder.

when updating any of the model files in xerte svn / runtime / pages / models

During the testing and development of your update Xerte may insert the text

language="en-GB" into the first line of your model e.g

    <PG title="New Window" name="newWindow">

will become

    <PG  language="en-GB" title="New Window" name="newWindow">

Typically this will happen if you create a page in a pages project using the page type you are modifying and then save the model after making changes and testing them.

You need to remove the

language="en-GB"

text from the first line as it may compromise the use of the model in files developed in other languages than english.

I have just corrected this in three files that have been edited recently

hotspotImage.rlm
list.rlm
newWindow.rlm
