yes, 95% of it turned out to be rubbish, so it was easy. Thanks for you help, it’s good to see the forum is still ticking over.

Thanks, I was able to review several hundred files (going back to 2000 - wow!). I kept a few and the rest are deleted. Very satisfactory. Thanks for the help.

Brett

Thanks Acorn. I’ll give that a go!

I used Xara for quite a few years back in the day and I have a folder full of Xara files that I would like to look over and maybe covert to jpeg before I biff them for ever. Anyone know of a viewer I...

Hi Rik

How are you using the Gaussian Blur to feather an image? When I try it blurs the whole image rather than just the outside edge as 'feather' does.

Edit: I have just discovered in...

Is there any news about when these will be shipped?

Thanks for all the comments people. To sum up, I believe the answer is "No!" :-)

In peace Brett

Is there one?

In XDP7 is there a way to batch covert .xar files to .svg?

I've ploughed the forums and found nothing (but sometimes I can't see for looking!). Is there a plugin maybe?

TIA

Brett

I agree beretgascon. I have been a subscriber for almost ten years I think and it is well worth it. It is an excellent magazine and John McWade's teaching is always superb.

I have been looking for years to find this! And BTW, XnView is freeware and I think Opensource.

In peace

Success! For all you frustrated mac users who want to see .xar thumbnails from their macs (without firing up Fusion) XnView have a beta for 64-bit macs that displays xara thumbs:

Well, if the mac version has become comatose, can we have a plugin for mac Quicklook please so I can see Xara thumbnails.

That would be very very nice. (Tugs on forelock)

I run DesignerPro inside VMWare Fusion3 and Windows7 - BTW, it runs beautifully - but I often need to view .xar files on my mac laptop and I want to be able to view thumbnails inside finder. Does...

Fortunately I don't have to pay VAT and not the NZ equivalent NZ tax of GST. However our new govt has decided that we will soon have to pay IPT - an international purchases tax, I think it's called....

Hi

Just a warning for people resident outside the UK who are purchasing on-line Designer6 (or other Xara products) to make sure that the UK flag is NOT showing in the top right hand corner when...

I agree with sledger. I use BibblePro (on a mac) and finder to organize photos. It would be interesting to know what alternative software is being used and if there is a difference between amateurs...

Hi

I'm running XaraPro5 on a mac inside VMWare Fusion.

Every time Xara opens I get an error:

"internal program error 2939.k.me.ps"

Anyone know what this relates to? I also cannot open the...

Actually neither of the photo editors will run. Both call the same error, which is odd.

The only time I use the editors (and it's far from critical) is that if I create a bitmap from my work I...

I have just switched to a mac.

I am now running XPro5 inside VMWare Fusion 3.0. I runs beautifully!

Except (isn't there always ...) that XPEditor calls an error saying that "XPEditor cannot run...

I haven't seen Scribus mentioned in this thread as a possible alternative.

The latest version (1.3.5 I think), while it's not InDesign, gets very close and it's OpenSource and of course free.

It's a bit of a non-issue really. I suppose it's always possible to develop something like this into a "religious war" :)

I just do what's most convenient at that moment; explorer (I use Xplorer),...
