Thanks Egg. Why do I need to add backed up files to the local gallery when it is already full of the originals which I downloaded from Xara's cloud?
xK, 'cos Xara in its "wisdom" chose to put it into your %localappdata% folder and not allow you to store where you want. So one day, your PC chokes and you decide to delete stuff from there not realising it was important as Xara didn't tell you.
Also when Xara gets its revisions wrong; the process is allowed to delete files stored there and, boy, Xara trashed it all away once.
Also when Xara decides to re-organised the folders, items seemingly vanish.
You are therefore not in control.
So save as a fall-back.
Nobody's perfect.

Great advice acorn & egg - many thanks. I have done the backup (excellent pictures once again. )
Back to the original problem of a totally blank Local Design gallery.
I installed most of my Xara Desktop applications (XDA) under my MS W10 account name (pretend it is Acorn).
That account got corrupted. I had to create a new one (pretend it is now Oak).
I chose not to de-activate my XDAs installed under Acorn and re-activate under Oak as I have had no indication or guidance from Xara that this is would work.
I also suspect such an operation would force my version back to my purchase version.
In the end I copied Acorn's XDAs' Caches to Oak's XDAs' Caches and all was as it should be.
I hope this helps.

Variation on Miko's issue. All the choices are greyed out and there is no "Download all" option in my "new" version 17 Local Designs Gallery.

Thanks, Acorn. I tried numerous times using your suggestion without success. Then, I right-clicked on the name beside the blue folder and Download All appeared, not greyed out. Subsequently, when I right-clicked on any blue folder the full menu of options appeared. I can't begin to guess why that scenario would play out.
Thank you again for putting me on the right track.
