I know how to switch off "Show page thumbnails" but is there any way I can switch off "Show layer thumbnails"? I have a complex but only 4-page website that is excruciatingly slow in Xara, and the interminable egg-timer displays every time I pop out the Page and Layer Gallery and it seems to be caused by the drawing of the layer thumbnails. On pages with few layers there is no delay.

I haven't experienced this before and the only difference between this site and others I have done is that this site uses a fair number of placeholders hiding chunks of php code. I'm pointing the finger at the layer thumbnails, but has anybody else any experience of the Page and Layer Gallery slowing everything down?

I'm currently forced into working in "Unlock all on page" mode because the Gallery has become virtually unusable. It is a right pain.

Any ideas anybody?
