    Default CHM help file with Designer Pro 17.1

    Hi guys

    I just noticed that the CHM help file for Designer Pro 17.1 is actually for Web Designer Premium, not Designer Pro X

    This appears to have changed when I updated to Designer Pro17.1

    The first version 17 installer is as follows

    Xara_Designer_Pro_X_17.0.0.58732_DLV_en_200312_21-46_17_0_0_58732.exe

    This contains the Designer Pro 17 help file.

    There have been two Designer Pro 17 updates since then in the following files.

    Xara_Designer_Pro_X_17.1.0.60415_DLV_en_201022_02-50_17_1_0_60415.exe
    Designer_Pro_17_x64_Update_17.1.0.60486_en-GB.exe

    For me, Installing the 17.1.0.60415 resulted in me being delivered the help file for Web Designer Premium. Updating to Build 17.1.0.60486 also left me with the help file for Web Designer Premium.

    I am now in Xara Designer Pro X 17.1.0.60486 DL x64 Oct 29 2020

    Can someone, who is on either build 17.1.0.60415 or build 17.1.0.60486, please verify which help file they actually have. This is in the following location.

    C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X\17\HelpAndSupport\ENG

    (Note: I am also have an open ticket with Magix regarding this issue.)

    Info Re: CHM help file with Designer Pro 17.1

    Promodi, that was a good thing to spot.

    I am using Xara Designer Pro X 17.1.0.60486 DL x64 Oct 29 2020 and it definitely is a CHM file for XWDP.
    Either Xara delivered the wrong file or Magix mixed things around.

    Perhaps XWDP users have the XDPX CHM file instead?



    Separably, Xara Pro+ now has a Backup folder (C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro+\Backup) where I now have six versions of everything backed up! All 1.12GB's worth. There are only four xarax.chm backups, telling me XPro+ had two Bug Releases.

    I don't know if it is a boon or a burden. No information about how to clean it down or use it to revert.
