Changing default values

[gbredon]

I do a lot of simple illustrations which rarely exceed 16 colours but I want to export them as PNG files at relatively high resolution. My copy of Xara defaults to a Trucolor setting and 96 dpi which are not the settings I want.

Does anyone know how to change these defaults permanently?

In my version (3.2.4) the colour depth remains at 'last used' even if I close and reopen XaraXtremePro. DPI value is however reset to 96.

There may be a registry value that can set a new default DPI.
I know Bill Taylor often hunts these down... Bill?

Hi, Not as far as I'm aware. I believe XXP will remember your export settings during the time the app is loaded but as soon as you shut it down and reopen it it will default to Tuecolour / 96 dpi

You see that's what you get when you ask for advice. 2 conflicting answers. Sledger is correct though and my answer was incorrect. Sorry about that.

I searched the registry for a way to set a default export bitmap dpi and no luck there.

There is a way to set a default dpi for create bitmap copy.

There is a way to set the default export bitmap depth (24 bit is the default when first installed).

No ExportBitmapDPI setting and when I added one the program was unable to detect the setting existed.

Maybe in a future version.
