There are others out there that have these types of widget, jukebox, etc., and the files are stored on their sites. After an initial foray into one of these, I stopped using their widgets because I didn't like have to depend on them.
John, I agree it is not "professional", which is why I invested in http://wowslider.com/.

The Xara EULA is worth a read. It seems to have disappeared from the in-built Help but is here: https://support.xara.com/index.php?/...designer-pro-x. In Section D, it mentions the Update Service and termination but does not refer to the Slideshow widget explicitly. I read this as it is provided through Xara as part of the On-line Service, you lose it on termination. Under General Terms of Use for Xara Online, you need to read Para 7. Services and 9. Guarantee.

Xara removed the widget from V12 last last year with a promise to restore "soon". It has re-emerged in V15 but not V12.
