    Re: Bleed in PDF export not appearing

    This would appear to be user error. The answer is to set a bleed margin when you do a custom page set up. Left here in case anyone else comes across it.

    Bleed in PDF export not appearing

    I suspect I am being very stupid here, but I am unable to get PDF export bleed.

    Per the enclosed screenshot, I have generated a page area equal to the crop area of the advert concerned, and on...

    If I remember, it's because the default works in most applications, but not all (some old ones), where you have to select the other. Essentially the application that sourced the image says what...

    Re: Xtreme on a Mac

    Xtreme's ability to import/export .eps or .ai should not be affected by whether it's running under VMWare or natively. When I said I'd had success with PDF, that didn't mean I'd tried and failed with...

    Re: Grouping problem

    When you group objects, the group itself adopts a position in the z-order. What that means in English is that all other objects are either in front of the whole group, or behind the whole group;...

    Re: Xtreme on a Mac

    For bitmaps, it works fine so long as the bitmap is saved to the disk and imported. If VMWare shares a desktop between Mac and Windows (it may well do but I don't have mine configured that way), that...

    To be clear, the clipboard works fine between Xtreme and other apps running under VMWare. It does not appear to work reliably between Xtreme and native Mac apps. For instance, copying a bitmap from a...

    Re: Xtreme on a Mac

    I run it on VMWare and it runs just fine. No problems at all. But that means I have to install Windows, and there are issues with clipboard interoperability. That's why I was interested in Luke's...

    Re: Xtreme on a Mac

    Luke, does that mean Xtreme 4.0 works under (a) Wine, (b) Crossover Office? That would be staggeringly useful. Well, not as useful as it running natively (obviously) but still staggeringly useful.

    Re: Feature Request: New Vector drawing mode "Spiro"

    Re Covoxers point:

    Yes and no. Most but not all objects in Xtreme get translated by simple transformation of matrices. A good example of ones that don't (under certain circumstances) are rounded...

    Re: Layer Inadequacy

    Indeed, this would be useful.

    Also useful would be the ability to peg the view quality of a given layer to be no greater than a given value (so you can keep some layers in outline) and (one which...

    I'm taking it you are using the autopackage download from Xara's web site?

    Re: Exporting out of XaraLX

    If you are trying to print, the best thing to do is to use the Print option rather than export. The code there is more complete. Try (for instance) printing to Postscript. It renders fine in...

    Re: Text not working anymore...

    If you are using the binary package (as opposed to building from source or using a distribution package) the wxWidgets version is irrelevant as it is statically linked in. Imagemagick is not used for...
  15. Re: xaralx 1780-1783 on ubuntu gutsy (lots of bugs)

    You might want to try build 1785. This should not need the G_SLICE fix. I don't know about the transparency problem (that sounds to me like a possible conflict with ImageMagick).
  16. Re: Deleted stale lock file '/home/josheby/.XARA-XTREME-XW-xaralx-josheby'

    Indeed. Xara LX creates a lock file when it starts so it knows whether another copy of LX is around if you double click on a .xar file (to avoid running a second copy, the new copy then just tells...
  17. Re: XaraLX-0.7rev1763 running problem on Zenwalk-3.0

    See the GSLICE=always-malloc fix on the other threads about Ubuntu Gutsy. I hope someone at Xara can be persuaded to rebuild another revision with wxWidgets 2.8.0 so this won't keep biting people.

    Re: Printing in Fedora 5

    Can you try the latest build (not the stable one). I fixed a bug soon after 0.7 was out which caused printing to crash when not printing to file.

    Re: Maybe Xara xtreme is the wrong thing for me.

    When you say "trace the bitmap", do you use the bitmap tracer to do that, or trace it by hand?

    Named colours you know about.

    Shades and Tints are both special cases of linked colours. A shade (as you know) has the same fundamental hue as its parent, but lets you alter its saturation and its...

    Re: import a text?

    Well, even though I wrote the PDF import feature, it's no real substitute for a way of getting text in. It imports it as a bitmap. We need to fix this properly. I filed a P1 bug.

    Sounds more like a strange fontsize bug. Works fine in Gnome here. Obviously still there is some problem though.
