Feedback, questions, comments, observations, thoughts, etc, are most welcome.


I've been trying to create a content bundle. The selecting content information was great, but I would find more specific information on the packaging very helpful. Here are some of the specific questions I have;
1. I've got a audiobook which has each chapter as a separate file. Is there anyway to display them all as just one book instead of adding titles, descriptions etc to each separate entry in the xml file and then having them display as separate items.
2. The entry url in the xml file. Do we just enter /file Or do we need to enter something along the lines of /home/olpc/library/yourfolderhere/file etc.
3. It says that you can create new catagories but I assume you don't want too many of them. So it would be nice to have more guidelines on what you should name them and when you should create them
4. Should I use the same name in the .info file as the library name in the .xml file?

Thanks for your help Crazybus 07:23, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

TurtleArt file format

TurtleArt samples should probably be content bundled. TurtleArt data files are a .ta file with associated .png image, usually with the same name. How should these be packaged so that TurtleArt can find the .png, if it exists? --Lincolnquirk
