Nothing but Problems with Xara

also, can you let me know how many photos and what size of the photos are the limitations for this program?

Oh any application than can resie a photo and save it to a new file.
IrfanView for example, or Faststone Image Viewer (my preferred).

So if, for example you know the photos all need to be 640x480 pixels, open the originals and resize (or crop) them to 640x480 and save as a new file to a temporary folder and use about 20% - 25% compression (75% - 80% IQ) when saving.
Use these new files in your Web Designer page/s.


Also, remember that WD version 9 by default additionally saves HiDef versions of your images for Apple Retina screens, you can turn this off in Web Properties>>Website (tab). This may help lessen the memory overhead when publishing.

Until some time ago I had difficulty to publish my web page directly from Xara. My web provider demanded an active FTP connection, and I configured this in my web browser without any result.
Then I found a solution that set active FTP in the registry and after I have done this everything work as expected.
The procedure with WebDesigner 9 Premium and Windows 7 is:

Go into the registry via regedit.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Xara \ WebDesignerPremium \ 9.0 \ Options \ Publish

Change FTPConnectionType to 1
(Default setting is 2, which is passive)

Good luck

I just rebooted my computer and I have available ram: 3.41gb out of 8gb

32bit applications cannot use the full amount of installed RAM (physical memory).
This is why the error message included the information:

Total Physical Memory: 3666767872 (3.4Gb)
Avail. Physical Memory: 671232000 (640Mb)

Try installing the 64bit version of Web Designer 9 Premium

Problems solved! Thankyou so very much, I really thought that I would have to start my website again.

Thanks again, it is appreciated :-)
