Gallaries for .7 Xara LX

I am a newbie to Xara Xtreme LX. I am attempting to get through an excellent
tutorial by Gary Priester (#20) and can't seem to be able to find the required galleries.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kentek,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

The Linux version of Xara Xtreme is still in development. The galleries are being worked on, but not estimate as to when they will be completed.

Hi,
I'm a complete beginner with Xara, and only installed it today. Everything appeared to install smoothly on FC5.
Is this why I can't see any way to start an animation in v0.7 on FC5 ? There is no File>New>animation, or Utilities>galleries>animation option. There's a Utilities>animation menu item, but it doesn't seem to do anything. No options come up, but a very small grey square appears to the right where the drop-down list should be.

Is there any way to enable it? or am I misunderstanding something fundemental?
Thanks for any advice.

Yep, that's why you can't see it. You're not doing anything wrong, or missing out any steps. It's just that that portion of Xara hasn't been completed in the Linux version as of yet.

I beleive that they're focusing on the fundamental tools for drawing in general before they start working on this sort of thing.

geez, this is good to read, as I was just wondering the same question... re' animation...

can wait for this app to develope :D
