    Default catindex error

    All of a sudden, when I open XDP11, I get this error.

    Any ideas, chaps and chapesses?

    Bitched to Xara in Dear Xara, with nary an update, but in the last 10 minutes I checked and all seems to be working again.

    Yeah, I got the same thing too. Magix servers?

    But, why does the programme have to rely upon Xara/Magix servers?
    What is it that needs checking?

    It's not a cloud based programme, so, why?

    Because in the old version, when there was an update to the templates, Xara would overwrite catindex.txt and if they got that wrong, it would delete everything you had in your local cache.
    Being Xara, it has kept this naff code but routes things through its servers as well. So you can expect a double whammy when Xara fluffs it.

    Crippling a Desktop application to get more revenue seems to be the game plan.
    I took up Rob-Xar's challenge and contacted Magix about alternative approaches on 17 January - https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...201#post604201.
    I have had nothing other than the equivalent of a "Please hold, your call is important to us." Not!
