I have my work space and shortcuts juuuuust right. Now I'm re-installing XP on a new hard drive. What do I need to do to transfer my Xara settings after the new install?
Thx

Unfortunately 'exporting' or 'importing' custom layout settings is not a feature in any version of Xara Xtreme.
The best you can do is save any custom templates you may have created and reopen them in the new installation then save them as templates once more.
Welcome to the forums
How about moving certain directories/folders from the old hd to the new? If so, which ones?
As far as settings go, these are held in the windows registry, xtreme does not have the sort of 'workspace' that is written out to file in the way I think you mean it.

Nothing lasts forever...
What settings are you wanting to transfer?
The registry is part of Windows, where Windows itself and many 3rd party applications store their settings, serial numbers, passwords, any many other things.

As mentioned in post #2, this is not possible.
Re installing Xtreme and re setting our custom toolbars is something many of us have had to do numerous times. Yes it's a pain and perhaps one day Xara will enable an export and import feature for this as it has been asked for lots
LOL... Ok. Thanks everybody.
If you are using Xtreme Pro you can transfer your custom keyboard shortcuts. However, your custom toolbars are not transferable.
The keyset.ini file in your Documents folder contains the keyboard shortcuts. Simply copy that file to your new hard drive.
