[Xerte-dev] Re: Feedback from Xerte session at Glasgow Uni

[Julian Tenney]

In essence it's easy: put the xml somewhere for a 'copy' action, get it and put it somewhere new for a 'paste' action but the somewhere can't be the clipboard - you can write to it, but not read from it in flash: would have to be some sort of local storage which HTML5 now provides, or the flash player already provides. There is more difficulty with copying media if that page includes it, especially if linked to rather than set up as a property: perhaps that needs the somewhere to be on the server, using temp folders or something?

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Feedback from Xerte session at Glasgow Uni

Hi Julian,

Just something I thought I would feedback.

I took part in a great Xerte session on Tuesday at Glasgow University, led by Ron and something that was asked several times was "How do you copy a page from one LO to another?" We described the various ways you can do this:

Copy the LO and delete the pages you don't want Open two editors and copy the parameters into the new one...

But is this something that is easily doable with the Flash version - a context menu when you right click on a page with "Copy to another LO" or something? Would need a popup to list the LOs you have access to that are not locked.

Then the next question would be: Is it worth doing? I'd like this in the HTML5 wizard but is it worth the effort to retrofit to the Flash one... We could also add other functionality to this menu... "Copy", "Paste (after selected item)", "Duplicate", "Delete", etc etc to this context menu too I suppose?
