sorry chris, but I thought you were using the bitmap tracer to trace the imported jpeg before exporting
if you just export a bitmap to an svg [container] that will not convert it

This is my lack of knowing how it all works making my explanations ambiguous.
Using Vector Magic I just hit the 'Basic' button and blindly agree with the proffered options. The result does not show in the Bitmap Gallery.
That's one of the mysteries sorted. I'm not using vectors when I export SVG from Xara. Acorn pointed this out earlier, but I didn't put 2 & 2 together.

Chris, when you bring in an SVG with an embedded bitmap, Xara converts all to shapes and a bitmap fill (badly, it seems, too). This bitmap is added to the Bitmap gallery (you had 'bitmap3(7), JPEG') so if you delete it, you get a blank.
Xara does not handle SVGs natively, it does the above.
You can get an SVG to pretend Xara knows what it is doing by following https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...DA-Web-Exports.
This allows an enabled browser to render SVG vector shapes without scaling issues; an embedded bitmap will only render to its saved dpi.
The SVG is only storing and referencing the bitmap as a base64-encoded data image.
Again, very techie.
TL;DR: Xara doesn't handle SVGs, it converts them.
