Thanks, probably be a good candidate for the help folder in /runtime, possibly even a link to it on the help menu,

Do I need to create a pages project before I can see them / add one ?
We need some documentation here.

I have now added an introduction and guide to the Page Projects to the

Page Wizards / supporting documents

section of the svn (not sure where else you might want this stuff at present so I guess its current location is as good as anywhere for now.

Kind regards

Perhaps some code that prevents spawning of multiple preview windows not being initialized?

I have code at the top of some pages that says "if you've already run this logic (duplicate some pages) don't do it again".
I trip myself up occasionally when I place other code *that I do want executed each time* inside that condition.

So, what condition(s) must hold in order for View/Preview to function?
Can we display the state of those conditions while we run through multiple View/Preview cycles?

I have taken a copy of the wizard.swf file from the xerte svn runtime/tools folder and swapped it into my xerte installation and the problem does not appear to be fixed.

However the problem is a little more subtle than I first realised.

Open Xerte
Open a pages project (I used one with a plain text page that had been added to the default project)
Open the wizard for the plain text page
In the wizard form for the page do View / Preview (result - the preview works)
Close the preview.
Do View Preview in the page wizard form (again preview works)
Close the page wizard form.
Open the page wizard form once more.
Do View Preview in the page wizard form (preview fails to take place)
Use the forms play button instead and preview will work.

It appears that for some reason once you open a page form and do View / Preview and then close the form, the View / Preview menu option stops working - no idea why.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Re: the preview link

Which file would this relate to editor.swf?

I found the fault in the beta release I downloaded from Tom's site.

If you confirm which file this code is in I will substitute the latest version from the svn in my Xerte install and then test again.

Kind regards

Hi,

I know we are waiting on some final finishing off, : I just looked at the spreadsheet: re issue 4, the icons for the new pages wizards in the editor: I put those symbols in the editor library so it might just need rebuilding?

Re: the preview link not working from the menu: I can't see anything wrong with this???

viewMenuListener.change = function(obj) {
       if (obj.menuItem.attributes.label == languageData.viewmenu[0].menuPreview) {
              preview();
       }
}

So not sure if this I still an issue?

Last few things - let's get this finished now,
