Re: Plus version 23.6 is Out
In the latest wrinkle, I now have a product update on opening that advises "Update Alert: 23.6 Now Available!"
This is very useful before the event but surely not after I have updated?
I suspect Xara is no longer going to "announce" through TG. We must appear to it to be the tumbleweed in Backwater Alley of Forums Past.
Surely the Help > Check for Updates suffices? Probably not if Xara intends to hit us with adverts.
In that case the About Xara [Product] should display a link to the Release Notes for that version.
If it is added here, please make the version details copyable again.
The convoluted path for the pop-up is [https : //shared.xara.com/nYpAlNfCYw/?b=01da4af7b760a20c&pexpire=&v=23.6.0&prefix=xps]
The "See What's New" button is worse [http : //releasenotes.xara.hosting/designer-pro-plus/?_gl=1*8pbf1z*_ga*NTQzMjg4ODkzLjE2NjYxODkzNzE.*_ga _QP3LN4RC3P*MTcwNTU4NDk0MS43MDcuMS4xNzA1NTg1NzExLj UxLjAuMA..#xl_HeadingAnchor:58WhVLJ]
All that is needed is [http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/des...nchor:58WhVLJ]
I do not like tracking at the best of times but I find it rum that the journey Xara takes and the destination omit secure sockets protocol.
Instead, I would be the far happier if the "See What's New" link went to [https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...-update.html]; this and .../version-23/version-23-5-update.html have yet to be added to the on-line Help and the same Help to be updated to the new features.
Talking of updating the Help [https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...oducts.html]!?! (6 years stale - "desktop version 15")
Also [https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...ther_xara.htm]. As an exercise, can anyone buy Xara 3D Maker 7?
Another small change would be for the Help page link to the Release Notes to actually be to the actual update anchor.
A final plea, please update the Help files and make then downloadable.

Re: Plus version 23.6 is Out
When I go to the release notes page, my Bitdefender tells me it is a dangerous page because of the links on it. When I tell it to go there anyway, I get a 404 - Not found. Same for all the help and support pages.
And http instead of https?? Really Xara, you are out of money?
I use a VPN by the way, but that should not be a problem.

That DLL is used by File Explorer to provide thumbnails of the contents of XAR files, so it may be necessary to close all instances of Xara programs. As the patcher does suggest (please close all applications). A device reboot might be required as well.
