more bugs

[will]

I also posted here yesterday and it was deleted.

I can't reconstruct what I wrote however the gist was

1. Thanks for setting me straight on the dpi qustion.

2.The xara logo's won't be there any more acording to gary? I use it to check a tiled background as you said Egg. (a nice feature by the way that fireworks does not have)

3. Three or four times now I have finnished a page and gone to save and get a warning that my work cannot be saved. Why is it doing that?

4. Why do the pluggins come and go? sometimes they work sometimes they don't

This may be relevant, Will: Plug-ins created with Adobe Filter Factory, such as those in the Shareware Xone, will only work on 24-bit bitmaps. Other plug-ins may also work on greyscale bitmaps, however most won't work on 8-bit indexed colour (such as GIFs) or 1-bit bitmaps.

Thanks Sean,

I get ERROR FROM XARA all the time when I am trying to save a page. "an error occured, file does not exist...."

I finally figured out how to save it by placing it on a clipboard closing down xara and reopening it and pasting it on a new page.

Is there something I should be doing different or is this a bug?

Will:

I think this might be one of the events causing this error. I can recreate this error by doing this:

This bug has been in both betas:

Open a drawing
Select File Export
Choose GIF, give it a name, select save
Change the file type from GIF to JPEG from the dropdown menu (this is the kicker)
Select Export A
Try and save your file!
You'll get an error occurred, file does not exist <your file name>.
Click on OK
You'll get a write error file does not exist <your file name>.
Click on Ok
Internal Error 1149.

Other events may be causing this problem, but it only happens to me when I do the above. I have sent this to Xara, hopefully it will be fixed in the next beta or final release.

Dave.. you descibed exactly how I loose the ability to save....when I switch from gif to jpeg on the pulldown.

I downloaded the latest bata and it hasn't been fixed yet.

This has now been fixed and the fix will be in the final release.

When I feather a shape with "stained glass" transparency applied, the shape reverts to "Mix" transparency. Reapplying "stained glass" does no good.

I hope this as a correctable bug as I need to use stain glass and feather together in my work.

Should we start a new thread?

"Three or four times now I have finnished a page and gone to save and get a warning that my work cannot be saved. Why is it doing that?"

Same here. It happened after I exported a gif, then I decided to save the .xar file. It told me it couldn't open the .gif I just exported.(scratching head)

unexpected error 1149

I lost alot of work the other night when I got carried away without saving for about 2+ hours. It just froze. I tried CTRL S and it worked ... when I re-opened that file, all the blends were lost ... they weren't lost but they were rendered uneditable. I could see the outlines there as i dragged the objects around, but I couldn't fill them. Save, save, save with beta or U won't see, see, see it later.
