you have one vast shopping mall several miles long and in your hand is a list of every item for sale in that mall and where to find it
in the next town is another identical mall - but - you guessed it - all the items are in completely different places, so you have to make a list that cross references...
- but wait, those darn store people keep moving things around so you need to... this is where it gets difficult

I wish that inkscape and Xara would play nice together. There are some features in Xara I like that are not in Inkscape, but I simply cannot find a file format that allows for an editable file to be shared between the two. Why is that?
PDF offers quite a lot of cross-app editing.. There are some things/effects to avoid however.
Steve the Linux version of Xtreme does not have PDF export or import.
There has been very little development on the linux version by the open source community.
The members here are users of the software and not developers. Although some developers visit from time to time.
Giminiguy may be able to provide more information. He is more familiar with happenings in the Linux area.

Hmmm - I thought it did when I gave it a whirl under Ubuntu about a month agoSteve the Linux version of Xtreme does not have PDF export or import.
Unable to check as the HDD was needed so Ubuntu had to go.
Oh well - hazy memory
Bill.... Have you spent some time in New Zealand ?
I booted up my Linux machine and XaraLX can import pdf but can only export jpg, gif, and png.
Steve I haven't spent any time in New Zealand. South East Asia, Philipines, Okinawa, Honshu, and Korea were areas I spent a lot of time. A couple of days in Hong Kong and a few hours at most on some of the islands around the Pacific rim when I had time to hitch hike on the courier flights.

Yes it has the option to export as .PDF but when that is pulled into inkscape its basically treated like an imported image.
I love the brush effects from Xara, but I can get similar effects in Inkscape. I would use Xara more if it was more robust and able to interact with programs like Inkscape better.
Even under Windows, many of Xara's effects are way ahead of other vector apps ability to reproduce
Best sticking to shapes and text without effects when cross-app editing.
Inkscapes Cairo PDF to Xara seems to work well in my (limited) testing
