Keep Xara Offline?

YES! Xara is totally inane in this regard.

I have installed X16 alongside X12, which works a lot better for some things.

SO, my subscription is active for the year, but two things. One is "the NAG".

But another is Your extensions are not associated with this program, doh!

You can set this by right-clicking a .xar or .web file and selecting 'Open with'. If your Xara app is not listed, select 'Choose another app', browse to it and, once located, tick the 'Always choose this app to open ....'

You missed the point @Boy... the point is that you cannot have .xar and .web files registered to both Xara programs, e.g., X11 and X16... with a little forward thinking it could be registered to both apps.

would windows actually allow that ?

You missed the point by almost three months....

Why would you register both .xar and .web files to two programs? The idea is that when you open a file, it will be done by the program to which you have assigned this type of file. Windows cannot decide this for you.

indeed, you can only have one default ... and that is why the open with function is there, in case you want to use another on occasion, or change said default [other ways too to do this of course]

hence the irony on my part

My noddie solution is to open the application and drag the file into it.
Works for all 7 versions of Xara I currently have.

does that not import the existing file into a new file when you do it with a XAR [or a WEB]
