The backstage importer doesn't just report an error, it changes the path name. I suppose this is to prevent the security error that will arise if you import from an off-directory file.
There's a certain humor to this -- I can import from a questionable server in Timbuktu, but not from a file deliberately selected on my own hard drive! Eric's plugin allowed me to import from a separate directory path on FF 3.0.11 under XP using TW 2.5.2 successfully. Maybe later I'll try it with FF 3.5. -- Mark On Jul 10, 3:09 am, FND <f...@gmx.net> wrote: > > With the backstage importing, it appears that it depends where you are > > importing from.
