Xara Clipart on HD - how to do it quick ??

[Wolfgang]

After my first PC-crash on saturday, the bastard did it again on sunday. Of course only after I had most apps already reinstalled.

I got X running again, but to get my disc-clipart (copied from the Xara-X CD) back is a real pain.

I have to select every single category over "Disc Clipart" to get them all back. This takes ages and is more than tiresome.

Ain't there a quick way to have ALL Xara Clipart, Textures and Fills available on my harddisk ???

What a bummer.

Open the clip art gallery. Click Disc Clipart... and browse to the folder where the clip art is.

Doubleclick to open the Clipart folder and press Add.

Xara should automatically create all the subfolders and thumbnail images.

At least is does with the CD. I am not sure if this is so if you copy all the files to your hard drive.

After reading your comments I thought: "Yeah, like I did not try that before ..." but then I decided to give it another try.

I deleted the whole clipart folder on my HD and copied the clipart from the Xara X CD back again.
What looked exactly like before obviously did the trick.

And after this action, everything worked like Gary said. But it did not before ...
Looks like something was messed up in this folder, but it's back to normal again.

Thanks guys !!
