Xara beta bugs

I've noticed it doesn't load my default template I saved earlier this evening.

Mine does... Also you can - Save as: default page -

Zoom to drawing shortcut is ctrl+shift+J. It zooms to all objects on the selected page. ctrl+shift+Z zooms to selected objects only. See help file keyboard shortcuts for others.

Hi Xhris:
Yes but what I would really like is a short cut to show the whole doccument with ALL the pages at once.

Also I would like some sort of keyboard and mouse arrangement so I can interactively zoom into my doc. Like I can pan with the middle mouse (stylus) button.

I guesss these are all feature requests for Pro2 though...sigh.

PS: The Colour Editor has still got the Colour Picker locked away in the top left of its window. Can't the Picker be liberated from that window to have its own button, or have a Xsnortcut entry so that we can apply our own shortcut to it?

Yesyes I want that too!!!

Mouse wheel - Scroll up/down
Shift+Mouse wheel - Scroll left/right
Ctrl+Mouse wheel - Zoom in/out
(Alt+Mouse wheel - Scroll up/down)

Glad it's not just me - I thought I was asking for something that no-one else wanted at each new release!

* reduce contour tool default from 4 steps to 1 step
* dedicated button or shortcut to colour picker
* autosaver feature

If I copy an image from a website, say the box shot at http://www.xara.com/products/xtreme/buy.asp, it still pastes into XXP at 192dpi if I accept the default "device-independent bitmap", and only appears at 96dpi if I paste as a "bitmap".

The Bitmap Gallery shows the image as being 96dpi either way around. I'm sure that there is some logic which explains the behaviour so as not to be a bug, but it bugs me.

The issues with the line width control are fixed, and will be sorted in the final release version.

Thank you ... now how about layers in anim mode?
That is, the ability to have more than one layer of frames?

That also would be wonderful .. or is that being too hopeful?
Or too greedy?

Certainly it would be not only very useful but also a great additional selling point.

(not forgetting a button to reverse frame order)

The customer is ALWAYS right ... well, sometimes, anyways ...

I always missed an indicator on the rulers for the exact middle of a page (horizontal and vertical and for every page size) Now we first have to draw a rectangle in exactly the same size as the yellow borders (and click twice) to find it. It's a minor thing, but if it's not too much work for the team, can this be done in Pro?

[Charles Moir]

That is, the ability to have more than one layer of frames?

That's a huge job - not for Pro - and not likely within the medium term future. There are more important thigs to do.

(not forgetting a button to reverse frame order)

That one will be a hidden option in the next Pro release.

I always missed an indicator on the rulers for the exact middle of a page

That's a good idea. There are number of ways we could help align to the center of a page, and it's been on the list for some time. Doubtful that will be in the next Pro release - we're really just in bug fix mode now.

Wow the mouse can do all that!
Shame I don't use one. What I meant was something like an alt middle click on my stylus to zoom in or ctrl+alt to go out. We already have the middle click to pan and it works very well with the wacom
