Something has been going through my mind about this whole "convert .xar to .svg" import / export issue
Would it not make more sense to try to create the ability to "save as" an .svg rather than "export" as .svg??
To have the ability to save an image created with xara as either a .xar, or an .svg?

Even Inkscape does not "export" as .svg.... it "saves as" .svg.

Could it be, that this entire issue has been looked at from the entirely wrong perspective?
It's just a thought... after all, I am rather "techo-impaired"
