Hi G

Sorry, I hadn't fully read your email. OK I have added that image in as
a hotspot in both Xerte 2 and XOT without any problem both as a jpg and
a png

Hi G

Xerte uploads the image from where you browsed to to a media folder
associated with the project. Changing the extension doesn't change the
format. Open the original picture in any picture editor and resave as
jpeg. Could you add image as attachment and I'll see if it works on my
copy of XOT

Hi nigel,

I have tried to change the extension, and have resaved it as a jpeg but
the same error occurs...

The path is weird though it shows Filedirectory + media/[filename] i.e.
dc.jpeg.

I have no folder called media where I am importing this from? Do these
images need to be relocated to the xertetoolkits folder in the XAMMP
directory? I see media folders in there?

I dn't see how that could make a difference - but I am not the most
technical person around so I am trying to be as pedantic as possible...

Hi

Have upload a jpg into Hotspot and works fine for me.  I have tried
.bmp, do not get a message but picture doesn't appear either under
preview or edit, get a collapsed box. Trued same photo converted to
.jpeg and that worked fine. PNG file is also fine.

Have come across this once before and that turned out to be an incorrect
file format.

I have tried a couple of images and still does the same.

I will try it tonight on my personal p.c. at home - I have a separate
install there and will email all tomorrow. If it works I assume there is
a rights issue on the folders by default at work.

Regards,

Grover

ok worth checking - sometimes people fall foul of special characters in
file names or trying to use .bmp or .eps etc

Perhaps try another image just to check it's not a problem with the
specific image.

Is there a particular environment (I,e, java) or setting (enable
macromedia) on the webpage I need to have in order to view/upload this?
I am still not able to see where the error is?

Please help?

I have already tried that. 

 I am importing this from a personal folder and it is showing in the
media folders
(C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\USER-FILES\6-guest2-mediaInteractions\med
ia) there is still the same error. What I was asking was whether there
is another reason. Apologies I was not very clear...

Maybe you need to change the rights on your folders?

Apparently this is a rights issue on my personal folders? I searched
online and found a previous comment. Is there a way to get around this
that you can comment on?

Hi there,

I am trying to add a hotspot image to a learning object. I am following
the tutorial step by step and whenever I try to import media it gives me
this error? Even when I try to import a background...
