Hi,
I've had Xara Designer since very early versions and have never been inconvenienced by auto-saving until this latest version.
The screen will go completely black while auto-saving for several seconds at a time. This seems to happen quite often. Previously auto saving was so quick that I hardly noticed it happening.
Has anyone else noticed this change?

Ian, no. It will depend on the number of design files open and the speed of your graphics card and available memory.

Thanks for your observations Acorn.

Yes, I've noticed the black screen on occasional autosaves. Fairly new issue. Wasn't present in XDPX365 until recently. Perhaps a Windows 10 update issue?
I have observed this from time to time as well.
I see this too and I have a brand new, very powerful machine.
Me as well. And I have a 1 year old rig, custom built for high-end gaming. Of course, all that power can be of no use to Xara in case it is not used by the program.
Question for those of you who see black screens when saving/autosaving: What Antivirus software are you running?
Thanks,
Phil
Just the inbuilt Windows Defender. My specs: Win 10 Pro, I7 6850K, GTX 1070, fast SSDs, 32GB RAM.Quote:

So I guess if we were to turn this into a feature request, then it would be worded as:
"Please change auto save to work in the background instead of as if the user themselves selected the save option...i.e. ninja auto-backups."
