New Version of Photo & Graphic Designer

[glenngosack]

Why is it that the introduction file always starts up when I open Photo & Graphic Designer 365? - I have all the backup options unchecked to see if that mattered, but it doesn't.

Just close it when the application opens.

actually it willl if you are running the trial - it will open everytime

XX_introduction.xar is held in your user appdata, but if you delete it the program will redownloded it from the web as I recall

maybe just best to delete it everytime you open the program until you are done with the trial / buy it

I found this problem in PG&D10 and a 11 even though I had purchased them even after entering the serial number and run as administrator and the method I posted was the only way I could stop the Introduction displaying as the default page.

fair enough if it had become your default - in the trial of P&GD365 that I have downloaded it is not the default page file, it opens as well as a second tabbed file , and as I recall this is forced until the product is activated....

I actually created a default page first thing - (been using xara for many years) - but it opens both my default and in another tab, the introduction. handrawn's explanation seems the most logical since it is a trial - I'm just seeing the new features and waiting for designer pro.

thanks,

glenn - What happens if you just close the page?

It sounds as if you have not saved a default page which Xara will start up with every time you open Xara.
Choose a page size from options or a custom one, put all the settings you require in the options box, i.e grid and ruler, units-pixels or inches ect. When you have selected all the settings you require, click on apply and then ok, in the file drop down menu, select "save template as" enter a name for this template and most important, tick the use as default template. Next time you open Xara your template will be displayed, the Introduction is still in the Designs Gallery.
