Hello, I have just updated from 15 to 16 and expected my preferences to have been saved, which they were not as it just loaded a new version without overwriting the old version.
I have a lot of websites and use ftp to upload them and all of the log in details will need to be re-entered.
Is there a file in v15 that I can just transfer to 16 to save doing this all manually please?
The settings for the user interface have to be done again with each upgrade. With regards to uploading updates of website, Xara allows you to save those within in the .web file. Go to Utilities/Web Properties/Publish and chek 'Save Publish settings in document'.

I have moved this to Dear Xara. This issue comes up every time there is an update or new release and it has never been resolved. But bringing it up again. It cannot be THAT HARD to create a file with user preferences that can be imported for updates and upgrades. Can it?
As I understand this info is spread out in the registry - if it were easy to do I think it would have been done at the time of Xareg
Xara just did not evolve with the 'config file' approach that some other programs did....
It was actually included in version 1.2 under File/Save/Settings. However it worked less than perfect, so the feature was not included in follow-up versions.Quote:

ah version 1.2 of XaReg... sorry misread the post
Glad we got that sorted. :)
...which is precisely why I never use Xara to ftp anything.Quote:
