TagEditor offers a useful INX Preview function (see

<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TW_users/message/46555>).



Am I right in assuming that no such function is available (or indeed

planned) for DVX?



Herbert

Am I the only DV user who would find an INX preview function useful? =-O

No, you're not, but unfortunately no such previewer seems available.

After a bit of googling, I did find a reference to "Pocket Watch" and

"InDesign tags" but I doubt if it's a real viewer, and no doubt just

displays a the tagged file which is no better than what you see in DV.

Probably your best bet is to ask the creator to export the file to a PDF.

Hi Dave,



TagEditor does offer a useful preview function for INX files (see my

original message).

Great. At long last a use for TagEditor;-)

Does it work in the demo version?

Indeed :-)

I don't know - perhaps someone without a licence could try it?

But presumably, with TagEditor's primitive capacities, you can only

"view" one file or story at a time so you don't get the whole picture

like a pdf?

I'll try and do some experimenting and report back.

The TagEditor INX preview function creates a temporary html file that

doesn't necessarily closely resemble the actual layout of the INX file

but could nevertheless be very useful for proofreading.



If you want to send me a sample INX file I can generate the

corresponding html file and return it for inspection.

Yes, it is a html file and does not resemble the original layout. The

only good thing is that you do not need the original .inx file to

create this html file. Helpful, when the client sends only the ttx file.

And also helpful to get at least some idea of the target file layout,

and perhaps for spellchecking purposes, no?

haven't needed it yet, but here's some input on the matter that may or

may not be useful:

I checked Passepartout also, but you seem to be out of luck there (too).

   Unless they're all lagging behind in updating their web pages.
