Re: Lost Work
You might try the Expand.xar utility, which you can download from this page: http://xaraxone.com/html/shareware.html.
You'll need to scroll down a ways. Perhaps the utility will help you recover your work.
BTW, the XaraXone is an excellent resource (thanks to the inimitable Gary Priester).

Re: Lost Work
Yes tried it with no success.
It's just Happend again but i've managed to copy everything to xara photo & graphic desiger 6 and saved it.
looks like i'll be using version 6 for a while moving backwards what a shame!
Auto backups just poped up again saying it can not save it, Looks like i'll have to swirch 7 off.

Re: Lost Work
a thought - you may [and it is only a may] have a problem on your hard drive where ver 7 is making the backups - worth doing a disc check ...

Re: Lost Work
ok good - is this just a version 7 problem?
EDit - re-reading your posts I think it is - so I'll move the thread to Dear Xara forum to bring it to their attention

Re: Lost Work
Could try this:-
(based on step 5 in the supplied xar)
[1] Convert to editable shape
[2] Ungroup and remove elipse
[3] Re group
[4] Convert to editable shapes once again
[5] Saves fine here... :)

Re: Lost Work

Re: Lost Work
Did you try it as it was and did you get the same error saving message?
No works in 6 ok.
It seems to be just this Ellipse with fill and shadow, tried it with normal shapes no fill or anything and it works fine. In 7
I'll try that "neodeist"
Thanks

Re: Lost Work
I had this problem. It pretty much cost me a client. I realized that I can inadvertently create objects that prevent it from saving and then have to go through a process of elimination to find which object it is. At times it corrupted the file as it was saving and I didn't have a backup. It's a pretty serious issue.
