Re: Exporting to rtfd on Mac

From a purely mechanical point of view you probably need to:

1. Access the rtf file inside the rftd 'folder'.

3. Work out how the 'picture hooks' are arranged to get the images in the desired positons within the text.

I wonder how xTalk can 'see' inside .docx and .rtfd ...

Re: Audio & Video Export

Haiku is an exciting operating system that needs apps and development environments to help it gain traction.

An xTalk IDE that functions on Haiku, and offers developers the chance to develop stuff, not only for Haiku, but also for other operating systems, should help Haiku gain traction.

Re: Audio & Video Export

I can see no theoretical reason not to port my Devawriter Pro too these platforms.

A pragmatic reason not to basically breaks down like this:

Re: Audio & Video Export

Who are 'they' who 'look around'?
