[Xerte] Re: youtube video size fix, sort of, in toolkits

[Tom Reijnders]

Hi Ron,

This is also my observation, that the resize is too late. But I haven't 
found a better solution yet.

- Your fix for XOT is correct.
- The desktop is a different story. First, you must realise that the 
desktop version 'copies'  the model into the project on creation time. 
So, you have to do this for ALL your LO's.
- To do this for new LO's you have to change the original templates
    For the Page Templates you need to change the model inside the Page 
Templates.xtp (this is a zip file, normally insatlled in C:\Program 
Files (x86)\Xerte\wizards)
    For the Page Wizards (the Jonathan Kemp solution), you need to edit 
the model in the youtube.xcp file (the .xcp file is a zip archive, 
normally installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Xerte\wizards\g) Misc)

By the way, the latest desktop version (and I assume the latest XOT as 
well) have a new property, video size and that has the same effect as 
your fix.

Tom
