Template FAIL with WebP Forced On

[Acorn]

Dear Xara...

I have advised this previously but have had no feedback or solution.

After testing, the problem has been my temerity of saving a Template with a coloured design page.

I have had to rebuild my Templates Resetting both Page & Pasteboard Backgrounds and unticking WebP to ensure they open properly.

Bug#002 - You can have any Template you like as long as it's colourless.

Please fix this.

While you are at it, sort out the naff UI Handle and dashed line colour scheme that disappears when pastel colours are used.
The old handles had some intelligence to them and did not interfere with the design on the page.
UPDATE: this paragraph can be left as @Rob-Xar has indicated UI/UX is being reviewed.

@Rob-Xar, I have resurrected this one as it appears not to have been noticed by Xara yet.

It is simple to test and show the Bug so I hope equally as simple to rectify.

Hi Acorn,

Sorry I'm not entirely sure on the problem with this one, what are you doing exactly that isn't working (and how is it not working?).

Thanks
Rob

Rob, open any default Template, click WebP Off and save a default Template back. When you re-open, WebP is still Off. All good.

Add a colour to the page background and ensure WebP is unticked and Save Template.
Bug - When you use the saved Template WebP is forced On.

Why is this important?
WebP generation time is very slow so testing is impacted.
I have clients who may not want WebP images that are uncontrolled.

Add a colour to the page background and ensure WebP is unticked and Save Template.

Dear Xara...
I assume this now affects XDPXv18.5 as you have not fixed it in XPro+v21.5 either.

Do you think your Customers just rely on default Templates that you never colour and so never test for them being coloured and never consider this Bug as important?
