How to Import all pages from another WEB Site

[golfertel]

Want to import all pages from another Web site constructed with Xara. Can only seem to import one page at a time. Any ideas please. Terry

Tel, just open the original xar site and Save As. Now edit away to your hearts content. You have a new site

Do you ever sleep. I'm lost. I was thinking if a colleague wants to pick up an up to date version of a site I had put together. He can open from the internet but how does he get that into Xara, I think I'm missing something here. Terry

You would have to send your colleague the .web file if you want him to edit the site. Xara software doesn't edit .htm files but you can import, per page, its contents and rebuild the site (File/Import from web address....).

Hi Boy That seems a better approach, I notice that importing single pages looses a lot of functionality. It was a tempting approach though. Terry

Terry, a website is the resultant of all the layering an coing that the Desktop application has built in. A website doesn't retain the construction, although it could if Xara had chosena an XML schema for its exports.

All the import from a URL does is copies over a flat rendering of what is on that particular page for images, text and position.

Making your design file all the more precious.

..., which doesn't allow you to reconstruct a WEB design file.

Thanks, but I now think my preferred route is to send the Xara .web file via Dropbox. It was just a temptation I had when I saw "Import from Website"
