Xara Web Designer 5.0.1 Update

**tomh** · 17 March 2009, 09:08 PM

Now I understand why it took so long to update WebStyle! Web Designer is a really smart move, beautifully implemented. I've only just started using it, so this isn't a query, but I'm curious to explore the capacity for tweaking Xara sites - with Ajax, for example. And, to bring out an update so soon, and not one simply fixing bugs in an over-hasty release... I'm overwhelmed!

I must say, I was worried when Xara was taken over. But, so far, so good.

Thanks Neil. Don't understand why, but after going through WD's own internal update route, the 14meg download happened but then reported that WD wasn't installed on my system. And that's a bog standard (AFAIK) installation in default location, bought and registered. Never mind, as a quick uninstall and download of the updated trial followed by reregistration did the trick as you advised in initial post. Just flagging this up as reassurance to anyone else who finds this happening.
And finally, adding my thanks to all the others for the quick update...

Update was a success

I'm getting this error message after installing the new plug in.

After installing which plugin Egg? Or do you mean the latest WD 5.0.1 update?

Did you uninstall before re installing or go the upgrade path?

**Egg Bramhill** · 19 March 2009, 02:49 AM

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't proceed via the help/update menu.

Updated fine now

Neil,

Has the ftp file path been updated with this new update?

**steve.ledger** · 19 March 2009, 03:06 AM

How do you mean Egg? Are you referring to the saving of FTP site details on a per site basis?

**Spinny** · 19 March 2009, 06:02 PM

For whatever it's worth I updated via the help menu method and the procedure went automagically without a hitch.

Sorry Steve, yes saving the ftp details on a per site (XWD file) basis. I've looked and I think it still keeps the same ftp details across every site until changed in the Publish properties tab.
