Thanks Peter - I will look for this too.

Hi Julian<br>
<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>
<br>

Yes I did - and that did not work either. I wonder if I am trying to
import the wrong media (e.g. mpg).<br>

Thanks<br>

<div>Hello <br>
<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>
Andrew<br clear="all">
