[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

[Julian Tenney]

I don't think Air can do all the things we need... can it access local
files?

Or could some one write an Air wrapper? It being open source and all...

We need to buy the mac plugin for zinc ($300), and write some
abstraction code for handling the windows / mac specifics (i.e. a wrappr
class for doing if (windows then do this else if mac then do this)).
I've deliberately kept that code to a minimum so far to make this
easy...

I really like Xerte3, as you may assumed from my number of posts
recently. The only pain is that I have to run it in my virtual machine
on my Mac. This makes it extremely slow and, as I already pointed out,
it crashes about every 5-10 previews. Do you see any possibility to
create a Mac Version? I just tried to open the XerteEditor.swf, which
works quite fine. But, sure, I can't load any files ... I guess that's
where the Zinc part comes in. Creating a Mac version could be also a
great selling point for Xerte, cause most of the e-learning suites out
there are Windows only. What do you think?
