[Xerte] Re: Xerte import error

Pat or Ron might be able to comment: if you import it ought to create  new project based on the zip file, and the fact that you deleted those files shouldn't matter...

Hiya
Thanks for your reply but need to clarify:
When using media - images, video etc. - during the creation of an LO, Xerte uploads these files from my local machine and stores them in a file area that I cannot see on the Xerte Server.
After creating a Xerte Zip export and downloading it to my local machine, I realised that the file size was larger than expected. When I unzipped the file I saw that a couple of video clips - each about 5MB in size were still within the zip even though they are no longer used in the LO. They had been used but I subsequently deleted the pages where I deployed them.
I deleted the two video files from the zip folder and then rezipped the rest.
After uploading the modified zip file back to the sandpit, it creates the "Message from Webpage" which I included in my first email. Again, the LO appears to have imported but nothing appears on preview.
Thanks for any help
Shirley

If they aren't used, you can delete them, yes,

Hi

A couple of questions.

I have a LO on the Techdis sandpit, which has been edited and some new images have been added to it.  My query is when I download the zipped file and unzip, in the media folder are the files which have been used along with the old ones, as these are no longer required is it ok to delete them or are they still referred to  by Xerte?

My second question is, when I zip up the above file and try to upload again to the sand pit I get this message and it looks like the object has been imported but when I go to preview or edit I just get a blank page?
