I'd very much like that mirror tool, tho I think it's unlikely to appear http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif It would have 1001 uses and I think it would rapidly become one of those...

IMHO it's often more trouble than it's worth making transparent gifs. With all the trouble with matching against the background colour, you lose most of the benefits of transparency anyway- may as...

I would very much support/second Quentin's request for a proper pressure-sensitive pen.

It doesn't make any sense to me for Xara's developers to choose not to make it as powerful as its competitors. I don't want another vector app on my system, thanks very much. I want Xara to do the...

What about splitting X into two products?

A "home" version at a lower price. Includes wizards and stationery and suchlike. A carefully chosen feature subset- perhaps even X as it is now in terms...

To me, it seems here that the issue is that Xara need to decide who they want X to appeal to (well yes, that's the point of this thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif). If they...

I think something people often overlook is that when a person is considering whether to change from something they use to something new, it...

Addendum: Xara fan that I am, I think the web-orientated stuff is chronic. When I got X I persisted valiantly with trying to use it for slicing, rollowers, etc. It was unergonomic and crash-prone (is...

I haven't read thru all the replies as there are many, so apologies if this has already been mentioned.

I use Xara for text handling a lot (lettering of comic strips for instance) and one thing it...

I'd love to see more comprehensive text wrapping options in Xara- one of my primary uses for Xara is lettering comic pages (and I find it a wonderfully productive tool for that purpose, unbeatable...

I'd like to rotate the page for the same reason I use scrollbars instead of Ctrl A, move all objects horizontally or vertically http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hi Jens,

I'm not asking for a full 3D view of the workspace, merely the chance to rotate the page on the screen like this-

Following on from my earlier thread about the mould tool (and apologies for calling it an envelope, bad habit)... one feature I would love in the next version would be the ability to properly apply a...

As somebody who does all their drawing on a Wacom (in Xara, Photoshop and Mictrografx Picture Publisher, etc) I've for a long time wished for two features (that I'll never get).

1) As with the OP;...

Also: embarrassing typo disclaimer: that should have said "normally NIPPY Xara" http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

Sorry, should have made the image smaller, will do next time http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Also, Jens, I really like that text-through-a-street effect- I may steal that idea...

Many thanks for the replies!

I've done some more testing and Gary seems to be right; it's caused by an expanding Undo buffer. Setting a limited undo solves the problem tho this is more...

Hi Jens, thanks for replying. That looks like a similar amount of text to what I was using.

I don't think it's a problem with the number of nodes since the problem seems cumulative. You have to...

Hi all, a bit of a weird one today. I had a page full of text I wished to envelope to fit on a curved "page". I applied a rectangular envelope, and then started moving the beziers about.

It got...

Not strictly relevant, but www.cafepress.com do "one off" tee-shirts, or any number to order. You upload the artwork and they print and sell; so no initial outlay or minimum production run, but not...

Thanks for your answers; you've answered what I was wondering, which was whether the behaviour of my natural brushes is how it should be!

It seems to me an odd choice to make these brushes work...

Hi Jens,

I dind't come here to argue about Windoze, and I'm hardly a great fan of Microsoft.

However, I may as well say that I researched this a lot. To paraphrase one person posting to usenet;...

Many thanks, Christine; are you saying there is no way to simply change the color of any brush but the default brush "live"; i.e. just by clicking colors? Having to create a new brush every time I...
