    Bug Xara Designer Pro+ 21.1.0.61938 SL x64 Apr 21 2021 - Cannot save any Template

    Dear Xara Cloud...

    I was assured that the WebP option was by default Off.
    I was also told that Templates stored this setting so If I had on with WebP On then a new document from this Template would retain the setting.

    Bug - My Default Template was created before this version yet it opens with WebP On. The Xara-supplied Templates are all Off.
    Some of my custom Templates are also pre-version but are again set On.

    No matter, I'll just set them to Off and Save as Template again.

    Bug - I am unable to Update or Save a new Template.
    I get this:

    Hi,

    When you say some of your custom templates, does that mean that some did not have it turned on? (i.e. it doesn't affect all your templates)? Do you have a copy of a template from before the 21.1 update so we can take a look?

    The issue with saving has been logged and is being investigated by the developers.

    Thanks

    My Web page Pastel 1440 px (WXGA+).xar
    This always opens with WebP Set On: Web page Pastel 1440 px (WXGA+).xar. Its Save Date is 14 January 2021.

    I now also find if I use a WebP On Template, untick that and save & close, when I reload, it resets to WebP On.
    It happens it I close and re-open the application.
    It happens it I Discard All and set WebP Off.
    When I open the file with WebP set Off, the XDA re-apply WebP On.

    Acorn I can confirm on your attached xar file no matter how often I uncheck the include WebP and save on reopening this feature is checked once again.

    This isn't the case re Retina check-box. It remains as set when saving.

    I have saved a .XAR without WebP ticked (Off)
    I then copied it into the Templates Cache.

    Both the original and a new file from the freshly-minted Template have WebP forced back On.

    At least I have a path to updating and saving new templates with the last caveat.
