Initiostar - Thanks so much for the guidance. Very much appreciated!

Be well and stay safe!

Hi all -

I'm starting to play with videos in Xara Designer Pro+ as well, and dragged an MP4 from Windows Explorer onto my Xara design page, and selected Autostart. Yet, when I preview the page in...

Thanks all.

Good day,

So I'm a bit confused. I own Xara Designer Pro X 15.1.0.53605 DL x 64 May 3 2018. Based on the link above Designer Pro did not receive an update--only Xara Web Designer and Web Designer...

Thanks for the quick reply, Acorn. Much appreciated!

Me thinks Xara/Magix need to lock down their application release process. In the opinion of this software developer they seem a bit sloppy.
...

Hi all,

I thought I'd find this info either on the Xara website or in their "new release" postings here, but didn't. I am trying to determine if my version is the latest (the version I have is...

Thanks for the suggestion, Lex. Will look into that option as well. Appreciate it!

Thanks Gary... I'll have to research C-Panel as well as some of the other stuff you and Acorn mentioned. Appreciate the info.

Thanks for the reply, Acorn. I'll have to re-read/understand when I have time to focus on it. My initial reaction is that since this site is so small (about 20 pages) I was hoping to keep it all in...

Hi all -

My Goal: For a ~20 page website I would like to password-protect one or two of the pages to restrict who can access them. For example, I'll want a "Board Members Only" page that is...

Hi All -

An update... I was contacted by Xara technical support today and informed of some semi-good news:

1.) They were able to recreate the issue using my .XAR file, which I had FTPed to...

Hello Sculptex,

Agreed that both low memory and low disk space can have a major negative impact on performance. Alas, I have tons free of both and this extremely fast gaming tower unit I used as...

Hello GM.

I don't think my issue is hardware as the tower unit I am running on is a monster (i7 4 MHz, 64 GIG RAM, SSDs, etc.).

Good hardware definitely helps. The load times for my other...

Hello Sculptex,

Thanks for the reply. I honestly am not totally familiar with Push so I'll need to study this a bit. I do think one or my sites (not sure if it's the one I am having problems...

Hi Acorn.

Interesting. As I will need to restore from a backup and redo my changes I can take this into consideration. This time around I think I will save and reopen the file after every two or...

Hello BKJohns.

Very interesting thought. I downloaded the trial and fired it up. Unfortunately it's looking just like Xara Designer Pro in terms of not being able to even open the .XAR file. It...

Hello Roly.

Thanks for the suggestion. I finally had an opportunity to try this last night and left Xara Designer Pro running overnight (about 10 hours) trying to get it to finally open the .XAR...

Hi Roly.

Good idea. I'll give it a shot. I'm currently remote and on a laptop that fast, but probably won't be fast enough to open the XAR file before I need to leave in about 30 minutes. Trying...

Hi All. Apologies, but this is a long one.

I've been dealing with a very frustrating issue with one of my websites since April 27. I have reached out to Xara technical support (i.e., posted a...

I appreciate your and others' efforts and will post once I check to see if there are any other posts with similar issues that may lead me to a solution.

Just to be clear since you raised the...

That is very true, as I did say I would make a separate post about it.

Didn't mean to touch an obvious sore point, nor did I intend to imply the world needs to stop spinning when I have a technical product with Xara software. As I stated I have been using Xara products...

Hello.

I too am experiencing a similar issue as SDRJ, though not nearly as long. I've used Xara products for a very long time and the few times I entered a support ticket I received turnaround...

Thanks for all the feedback Egg.

Interestingly as I was following-up on your points I closed the xar file and upon re-opening it received the following dialog.

116146

Once installed I no...

Thanks, Siran. I tried your approach and it worked.

Thanks to all who replied as well!
