Lost Work Revisited Shadow

[A Wrigley]

Just created this (File Attached)
Every Thing ok Till I Add a Shadow then (Error Saving File Message again)
Could someone Else try it for me to see if they get same Error.
(Xara Photo & Graphic Desiger 7 on Xp).

Shadow Test 1.xar

Yes, it is a bug. I tried using XDP7. In fact, here it erases the file if attempting to save.

Opening, adding a shadow, and saving from XDP6 works fine.

Take care, Mike

Yes, same error here with Xara Designer Pro 7 on Windows 7 Pro 64. Like Mike said, works fine on Xara Designer Pro 6.

Opening it in Xara Extreme Pro 5 displays this:
"This file was produced by a different or newer version of the program. It contains some data that will be ignored. Technical details; (4423); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416); (4416)"

It still opens, appears the same as 6 & 7 and saves as expected after applying the shadow.

I've narrowed it down i think see attached file.
Shadow & Blend test 2.xar

Yes, I can reproduce that here.

I've noticed that sometimes it's caused by live effects.
