Just a minor lazy man question.<br><br>I took a quick look for an .xml or .as file that sets, for instance, where Xerte initially opens to on "Open File".<br><br>My installation always opens to the desktop.<br>Is that hardcoded?<br><br>Dave<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Subject: RE: [Xerte] Developing xerte models from toolkits .rlm files<br>Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:54:42 +0100<br>From: Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk<br>To: xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk<br><br>

<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial">Unless I have failed to understand something, it is not possible to work in Page Templates and have access to the power of the underlying Xerte icons e.g. for scripting.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial">To try and get the best of both worlds I started to reverse engineer a Xerte model from the accordion .rlm file, loading it into Xerte as a model and then trying to work my way around all the references to template data etc.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial">Then it occurred to me, that perhaps in the initial development of the page templates perhaps the Xerte models had been created.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial">So my question is, does a set of Xerte models exist, equivalent to the set of .rlm files used by pageTemplates, that would work in Xerte rather than requiring a related template file? </font></span></div>

<div><span class="EC_190075311-10092009"><font size="2" face="Arial">This could save a lot of time in trying to re-engineer the models from the current .rlm files.</font></span></div>
