Sorry for my poor wording. By "that's normal", I meant "this is not a bug per se".



but not a desired user experience

I certainly agree with that.



and will be fixed over time?!?

I'm really sorry but the answer is no.

Please understand that DocBook has several hundred elements (and counting...with the advent of DocBook 5.1) and that our XML editor cannot provide a decent user experience in all use cases.

That's why we have made our XML editor customizable (by end-users to certain extent) and extensible (by IT consultants, not by end-users.)





I will try your instructions

I'm sure that you'll find "Save Selected Element As Template" very useful.

My assumption is that when I want to insert a video..I use 'insert
mediaobject which is defaulted to an imageobject...then I replace this
with a videoobject ?

Yes that's normal. However you can easily create a custom mediaobject
template containing a videoobject using "Options|Customize
Configuration|Save Selected Element As Template". See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html

*Problem is that when I double click on the video icon, the window does
not pop up to browse the desired video file for insertion..**?*


please clarify


The facility you expect is not available for videoobject and
audioobject elements. Videoobject and audioobject elements are
currently not as well supported as imageobject elements are.

If you want to specify the fileref attribute of the videodata element
please proceed as follows:

1) Click on the "film" icon to select the videodata element.
2) Use the Attributes tool to give attribute fileref a value. There is
a "Choose file" button (folder icon) which can be used for that.
