Thanks to Soquili and Angelize for reporting they are experiencing what I call normal behavior ... the software remembering last place a file was saved or exported. I will go back and experiment some more. When I referred to "Save" I should have clarified that it was on Export or Publish ... not just a typical "Ctrl-S" or choosing "Save" from the file menu.

I'll go back in and experiment some more, knowing that some others are NOT experiencing the unwelcome behavior I've reported. I'm optimistic that maybe there's a way around this, and that I can find a way to be as happy with this new version as with everything else from Xara that I've used, including every version of XWD and XDP. THANK YOU!!!
