[Xerte-dev] Re: Export Code (commit of fixes)

Wed May 9 10:36:52 BST 2012

I don't want to see this splinter into a complicated page with loads of options. Ideally there might be some code that loops over each filename and sees if it exists anywhere in the xml and then exports it: that would cover hyperlinks too, and the user only has one option. 

Otherwise we start ending up with a  slightly baffling local? Scorm? Scorm 2004? Full? Minimal? Deployment? When people just want to get something out.

Are these changes on the test server now?

That's why I proposed a small(er) Deployment Export and a Full export, 
The Deployment export would be a new choice. That started the 
export/download discussion.
