I get this error code

**Ore** · 20 October 2019, 09:36 AM

Hi all
I have an issue with the new program Pro X I need to open a website build with website designer premium in designer pro X, but when I try, I get this error code: Failed to read XAR file (failed to handle record 128 o)

I changed the name of the file and tried saving it again with designer premium, but I still can’t open it with the new program.
Anyone know how can I get passed this problem?

Open new document and try importing the file, drag and drop from explorer.

Hope this works.

Firstly try right clicking on the Xara launch icon & choose "Run as Administrator". Try again.

Secondly open Xara and from file explorer try dragging the file to the Xara title bar.

If neither option solves your problem, attach your xar/web file here on TG so we can take a look..

Hi, I am sorry this reply is a bit late.

Thank you for trying to help, I have tried all the suggestions you kindly offered, but it did not resolve the problem as yet.

I have added the website file as an attachment

Hi Ore. I downloaded your file & it opened without any issues. I've saved it under a different filename and attached it here. Can you open it without errors?

As an aside I wouldn't recommend using periods (full stops) in a file name.

@Egg, perverse as it seems to us oldies, periods in a filename are allowed.

I would never as I could setup a file as NicePicture.jpg.exe and if File name extensions were hidden, why, wouldn't want to see he pretty picture too?

Also periods/dots might affect Regex patterns.

its good practice to avoid it - you may get away with it in specific tasks, and windows will let you do it, but some programs will not accept it... so I think it best just not to do it

Agreed, but in passing Xara accepts it.

All we now need to do is stop Xara Desktop application users saving their masterpieces all as index.xar and then ask where their old design now is?

I'll back that up

@ Acorn - Well I learn something every day (and forget 5) What an odd inclusion!
