[Hopperxx] How do you debug a projector?

[Jim Andrews]

Brilliant as always, Valentin. Thanks so much. That solves the problem. 
The sound is working. Now it's just a matter of narrowing it down to the 
relevant required Xtras.

Isn't there a setting one can check so that all required Xtras are 
included in the projector itself? In Publish Settings > Files I see 
"Exclude all xtras" (which isn't it) but there is also "Copy linked and 
dependent files". That doesn't seem to do it.

How does one know which Xtras are required if you are not there to 
answer the question, Valentin?
