Hello: I have been reading the archives about how to configure XXE to have thumbnails always on. In particular, I have been reading:
http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2005-November/003485.html But I am running into problems and can't seem to get this to work. I will explain the steps I have used. And if someone has the time to notice what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it! 1. From XXE, use Options > Install Add-ons 2. Select "A customized configuration for the DocBook DTD" 3. This installs a directory called "custom_docbook_config" in the following location on Windows 2000/XP: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLeditor\addon\ 4. Attempt to open ...\addon\custom_docbook_config\mydocbook.xxe 5. Windows thinks this is a .zip file--which can't be edited 6. XXE won't open this file 7. So I use the NoteTab Light text editor to open mydocbook.xxe 8. Inside the file mydocbook.exe, I find the following at the top of the file: <include location="xxe-config:docbook/docbook.xxe"/> <!-- Discard this CSS --> <css name="Show info about included elements"/> <!-- Customize the normal CSS --> <css name="DocBook" location="mydocbook.css" /> 9. After reading the mailing list instructions from 2005-November, I believe I am supposed to insert the following information in this file: <css name="DocBook" location="xxe-config:docbook/css/docbook.css" alternate="true" /> <css name="Images displayed as thumbnails" location="xxe-config:docbook/css/thumbnails.css" alternate="false" /> 10. But I am not sure where to insert it. Do I replace the <!-- Discard this CSS --> and <!-- Customize the normal CSS --> information both? 11. I tried several different combinations, and nothing seemed to work 12. I say "didn't work" because I expected to restart XXE, then open a file with images in it and see the images as thumbnails. But this did not happen; the images were regular size as normal. Hopefully, I am missing something obvious. Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
