Or you could create a new extension (.jpeg) and do the same associations
as .jpg
Or are the filetypes hardcoded in Xerte?

Hi Julian, yes that would be great, would save me time changing all my
.jpeg file extensions to .jpg

	Thanks folks for your suggestions.  Well this is what I have
discovered. I checked that the file extension was showing and I found
that I could import via the file import and drag and drop if the
extension was .jpg but not if it was .jpeg. Also even if I have the
extension showing under OS X it doesn't show up in Windows, though this
doesn't affect the importing. Anyway I'm underway again which is cool.

	 

	Cheers

	 

	Mark

	I think it s because Xerte being Win based used the registered
file type extensions to determine what media is being imported.
	
	Mac files have a resource fork embedded which tells the OS what
the file type is, so Mac files by default have no extension.
	Without the extension, Xerte can't tell what the media type is,
and hence which import dialog to display.
	
	Interestingly, Import Media works for me, but the drag/drop
doesn't seem to do anything. I have a page highlighted and drag the .jpg
onto it, but no dialog (nor is it hiding ;-).
