I guess I am confused about Used Names created in the Names Gallery when you perform an export function.

My understanding is that by selecting the Used Name and clicking on right-arrowhead to the right of the name, that automatically exports the objects originally associated with the name (which remembers export file type, directory, dpi, etc.)

When I try this, however, it does not work. My test was this. Select a blue rectangle and export it via File > Export. This sets up a used name equal to the export file name. Next, give the square a new color and then select and export the square and via the Name Gallery. It seems to work, BUT when I import the file back into Xara it is the original blue rectangle.


Can anyone with experience using the Name Gallery explain how exporting from the gallery is SUPPOSED to work. Please.


Thanks, John
