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

Not that I am aware of.

.xar is not an image type. It's a container format. You cannot directly convert a .xar file to anything.
You can open a .xar, and export the contents to a supported file type.

While it is semi-true that one could look at the XAR as a container, so is say CorelDraw format and there are batch converters for CD files. At least once upon a time. Same with EPS files.

comes down to scripts does it not - and there is no scripting for xar files [much requested of course, but apparently difficult to implement]
-------------------------------
Nothing lasts forever...
And or it comes down to a third-party software deciding there is money to be made, figuring out the XAR file format, and programming a converter.
Neither (internal or external) is likely to happen.
Take care, Mike
Mike the XAR file format should not be too difficult to figure out, download the specification from the Xara site:

Thanks, I didn't think to look up and see if it was a published spec. Gotta brush up on my C++...
Take care, Mike
UniConvertor have support for XAR files on their roadmap. Unfortunately this is just upto the level supported by XaraLX (so a few versions back and lacking a few features introduced in the last few versions). The roadmap says support should be present in v1.1.5, but that has been released and there is no support
Thanks Luke. I notice the .pdf download was last updated in 2007 (XaraLX time frame I believe).
Would it be possible for you to find out if there is a plan to update the documentation and the XARLib file?
