behzad, true. However, this is a newsletter for an art guild, and most of the membership has expressed a wish for *more* email from us rather than less (or none). And, because it's an art guild, the...

Thanks, Mwenz - now I understand. behzad - there are some issues with all of the online format/emailers. For some, cautious addressees have to manually click to see the graphics because each flight...

So - and I don't know the details or how this works - formatted output for the Web (which I gather is HTML) and formatted email (which I gather is HTML) are two completely different things?

(Tried searching, but can't concoct the right search terms)

I'm looking for an application that can create attractive, graphics-heavy html email, readable on computer email clients and on mobile....

I've been out of touch here for years... which Xara product has the capabilities of Xtreme?

I find the product descriptions mostly unfathomable...

Thanks, zaph.

Looks like the most compelling (to me) addition of vector goodies was 5 to 6, but maybe I'm missing something as I look through the development history. Then it appears that for...

Thanks, Helle.

I was trying to make sure that Xara had not put barriers against buying used software, from a former user or distributor. Microsoft Office, for example, cannot be activated by a...

Thanks, Helle, for initiating this thread.

Question for the group -- I currently use Xara Xtreme 5 (yep, it's been a long time since I've been here...)

If my only use for Xara is creation of...

That's an elegant solution. (Actually, I don't need the printout to be clear -- just need the outlines for laying down a hand-painted opaque white area on the decal paper.)

Thanks, yes, my first decision was for the clear, since the areas between the ovals and the bunny should remain clear. I didn't want the new-fangled clear plastic film type... wanted to keep the...

Thanks, yes, I see what you've done. All I'd have to do is add the internal lines representing where the outside ovals and in interior yellow oval end (the spaces between needs to remain clear),...

Um, never mind.

Selected everything, copy, new document, paste -- while everything is selected, make it no fill, change lines to 0.5 and shift-click on gray to make them all gray.

Executive summary of need: turn a color, line-and-fill Xara image into a very thin black line, no fills, no other colors.

I'm with Remi on this - great work! Your work with Xtreme techniques (and especially the brushes), and now with Inkscape's often impenetrable inner workings is simply outstanding.

(Sent you a PM).

Scotland, Bosch and your new fractals - do you think these will be going into Inkscape builds as well?

Endlessly interesting.

Curiosity questions: is there a way to apply the Figurative...

Thanks, Ivan - I didn't explore far enough... of course, filters are an Effect.

Once again, you've helped me penetrate the fog of Inkscape's interface... or my own fog. Or both.

Dave

Ivan, I'm so lost in inkscape - I downloaded the latest Win32 version (I think - Inkscape 0.46+devel r20655, built Feb 9 2009) and it doesn't have a Filters menu.

Nothing is listed under Object >...

Ghostscript and its Windows front end, GSview can open, display and then save EPS as PDF. At least it can in the iteration that I have, GSview 4.7.

The key in GSview is to output the EPS via the...

Thanks Remi, sad news.

Soquili - point taken. Guess I'm old-school and don't mind bouncing back and forth among a bunch of applications. (So old-school that my first wordprocessor, circa 1984,...

I, too, just opened this thread. What fun it was whenever Parahandy appeared here - and what incredible progression in his use of Xara. He will be missed; we've lost a big part of our community.
