No, the wizard tries to load preview.php and play.php, but it doesn't
add any sizes to the url, like the xerte play and preview do.
The issue with .htaccess and xerte preview is that now you can have url
parameters added to the .htaccess urls, like play_126?engine=other, and
the rules don't handle the ?engine=other properly. I sent a fix for Ron
to try by PM, because I couldn't send anything to the list for some 30
minutes.
