[Xerte] Re: Importing re-zipped LOs

Tue Jul 24 11:48:09 BST 2012

ok

when trying to import a zip which contains a parent folder

both 1.8 and 1.7 result in a message about trying to unzip a folder name.
Both result in a project appearing in the workspace but can't be previewed
or edited.

BTW

when importing a zip without a parent folder both work ok but also give a
message with rogue html

Yes, I know, but that's what I wanted some one to test as it sounded like
when Simon imported a zip made in that way it wasn't trapped by the import
code.
