Personally I don't think it's a necessity that the same tabs exist for all
templates but I suspect it's easier to just display a message like 'This
property is not relevant to this template' than it is to change the code to
dynamically change tabs based on the template in use.

Increase the properties window size and display 'This property is not
relevant to this template' for Xerte templates?

Just my quick thoughts...

Subject: [Xerte-dev] 1.9 properties

Hello,

On the properties panel there are several options which are sort of xerte
specific - XML and media and quota for example.

Some of the new templates aren't XML, so XML makes no sense - and the media
and quota code is very xerte specific.

Would people think

1) all off these options should exist for all templates?
2) should tabs exist even if the functionality doesn't?
3) what sort of message should it say
4) what if I have scope for an extra tab?
