I have difficulty in making my xara drawings available to my paint program.

my procedure is to export the drawing to a .psd file and open it with Painter X.

when my drawing is of a certain complexity (my current has 48 layers) it will not export. i get a weird unidentified file error and Xara hangs. have to use the Task Manager to stop it.

i am using XXP 4.0 on a AMD Turion 64 Dual Core w. 2G.

the work around is to manually convert every layer to bitmap and export (Sh-A, SH/CTRL C - Shift Convert - Shift B - deselect, select, delete)... tedious and if i have to go back and change something... well, gets worse.

i know there is nothing to be done, but... maybe next version.
