XML Parsing Error when exporting document


Posted on Feb 23, 2010 by Grumpy Bird

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install standalone pencil 2. Install Document Export template for Simple HTML 3. Start new document 4. Select Document->Export Document 5. Select "Single web page" 6. Select "All pages in the document" 7. Select "Default HTML Template"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expect a html file somewhere yet I get the following error:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul Line Number 30, Column 18: <description>&intro.label;</description> -----------------^

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Version 1.1 build 1 On Windows XP SP2

Hi everyone! I'm having the same problem when inserting a label. I didn't get which extension should be removed. I'm using the app as a firefox extension in a MacBook. Thanks!

I have the same problem with FF7.0.1 & Pencil 1.3 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows Vista - neither of which provide a convenient way to remove file associations.

For those who want to risk it, there are downloads available for removing associations on Windows Vista, e.g.: http://www.watchingthenet.com/associate-delete-file-types-in-windows-vista.html

I'm not willing to take the risk of installing random .exe files to remove the association (as seems to be the only way to do it on Vista), so I'll probably just take screengrabs to work around the problem for a design I've already done.

Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon but, if not, I can't start any new work in Pencil.

Cheers, Dave.

hmm, when I remove the association with the tool given above, windows defaults it to IE , which is was previously. Is this supposed to happen?

Also, still no luck in getting it to save, either as PNG or basic html. Is there really no fix for this yet?

-Windows 7, firefox addon

Removing the SVG file extension from Windows 7 has no effect on the error message. It still occurs. When I try to open the SVG from the temp folder, then the Image editor asks fro image dimensions (resolution), but then says that the SVG is broken.

Well, same error here exporting PNGs. Some PNGs, that is - for others the Export works just fine. Seems to depend on the page I choose within my Pencil Project.

Version used: 1.3 on Firefox 8.0.
