[Xerte] Re: Problems with Interactive Diagrams and image import?

[Smith, John]

Hi Simon,

No it probably didn't work the second time either. What happens is the first time you upload the file goes up and the filename is stored...

The second time the file is interrupted and doesn't save but the system still stores the filename. then it refreshes and loads the image with that filename... because it is already there it loads fine...

Regards,

OK. Now I’m really confused. An image that didn’t import in FF on the Mac, WILL now import if I’ve previously imported it via Chrome…

Seems to be a real mix for me. Chrome on the Mac definitely more reliable than FF but there are some .png or .jpg files that won’t import using either.

>>> Hi. New to Xerte and trying to look at its functionality. Seems pretty good but I can't get the Interactive Diagrams to work with an existing image import. I can select the button option to "Import Image" which gives me a dialogue to select a local image. JPEG and PNG seem to be visible to import quite happily.
