    Default Re: Error when opening attached .xar files

    Chris - Are you opening the file directly? Or saving and then opening the file?

    The problem we on the northern half of the globe are having is when you opt to open the file in Designer Pro.

    Don't know about you guys, but, my DP16 was updated just a few days ago.
    And, I've never had any problems like this.

    When I click on 'OK' to use DP16 to open the file:

    Then, I also experience the same issue - as shown in the attached image.

    I'm not going to bother contacting Xara/Magix, as that achieves nothing.

    Open with ... works fine for me in FireFox 68.0.2. But that stores the file in the temp and not the download folder, so going to disable it again.

    Browser Tests

    Firefox: Problem opening the file


    Microsoft Edge: No problem

    Chrome: No problem

    Internet Explorer: No problem

    Opera: It asks you to save the file - so no issue

    But... I use Firefox 99.9% of the time and I've not had this issue before?!

    I can click a TG file link and I am able to click on Open through Vivaldi and the TG file (*.xar) is Saved in the default Download directory and immediately opens into an open Xara Desktop application.
    If the application is closed with no open files, the download is loaded as the active design and I get a Untitled(n) blank file as well.

    Since we're auditioning browsers, I tried it in Brave, which I think is a newer browser. No option to open the file just to save.

    Try Opera if you're not already using it.
