v17 photo pop-up little bug

Hi.

Photo pop-up stops working when you use a clipped photo without a declaration of photo type.
It May sound complicated that's why I recorded a short video.

This is not a big problem if you know what to change. However, I am afraid that a lot of users will not know why their gallery has stopped working.

Michal, until you force it to become an image, Xara now treats Bitmap fills into a Rectangle as a SPAN with a background fill so effectively it is not an image at all so the pop-up fails.

Lack of texting on Xara's part.

Good to know.
I was using rectangles to design the grid first when designing content, galleries... Now many of these rectangles (photo fill) have 90 degrees rotated background after export. The project is ok, but the preview is not. Not always! Many works just fine. (??)

I didn't force photo type before, because it worked without that.
Now I have to update hundreds of files. (Price of the progress :-)

Thanks for the info.
All the best.
Michal.
