[Xerte-dev] Re: Outstanding stuff

Tue Jun 26 18:14:40 BST 2012

I have completed most of the tidying up of the runtime and pageWizards
folders.

As mentioned in an earlier post the nl-nl folder in pageWizards appears to
be out of date when compared to the nl-nl folder in the desktop beta, so
the new runtime nl_NL folder contains files from the desktop beta. However
temporarily I have left the pageWizards nl-nl file intact just in case
there is anything in there that Tom needs.

The only current duplication with respect to the Xerte svn is the
duplication of model files in

svn / runtime/pages/models

and

svn / templates / pageTemplates / models

Note: It will be possible in the next release to generate the pageTemplates
project from the model files without the need to package an xtp file so the
model files in runtime / pages / models will be the definitive set of model
files. If there is a need to modify the files in the pageTemplates / models
folders prior to the release of the next version then any changes will need
to be replicated appropriately in the runtime / pages / models equivalent
file.

You are all probably fully aware of this but there is no harm in re-stating
this :-)
No one wants things to get out of synch at this late stage of the
proceedings.

Kind regards

Johnathan

The pageTemplates / models remain in the form that lacks [projPI] so if
these files
