not a major problem but a little disappointing. I can easily live with this.<br>

I also get errors when trying to import Media. On vista and I think
xp see attached image of the double backslash when the wizard
goes looking for the media folder even when its there. As xerte sits
"Always on on top" the message is hidden behind the Xerte
window and you need to drag it out of the way to see the message.<br>
<br>
I now use page wizards with no problems and media files are copied to the media
folder OK.<br>

Yes I did - and that did not work either. I wonder if I am trying to import the

<br>
This is truly a novice question. Please forgive it.<br>
<br>
I have just started using Xerte and I am experimenting with audio and video. I
am experiencing problems with dragging and dropping media into Xerte from
Windows explorer. When I drag the file to Xerte or Use the Import Media
function, it never appears anywhere. I have tried dragging to the URL in the
object properties (of appropriate objects) and it simply does not register -
and I have tried dragging to every other part of the system as far as I can
tell.. I must be missing something obvious but cannot seem to identify what it
is.<br>
<br>
Your help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
