Xara beta bugs

[Availor]

I had my first crash of Xara Xtreme Pro.

Ohh man, that is trully devastating
I suggest you see immediate medical treatment to avoid post traumatic symptoms

Ok, I have another one:

1. It's great that you can add pages but emm.... how do I delete pages?
I've tried to find the options but didn't find it in the buttons pallete. So
that's a bug already. Even if it does exists somewhere it should be simple
enought to find it.

2. Why isn't it possible to set different sizes to different pages? Seems like
a very obvious thing to me. What I want to create a brochoure with a
bigger cover?

Regarding the Pages thing. And this isn't strictly a bug, but could we have a quick zoom icon/toolbar/shortcut for fit to document? I fnd myself automatically fitting to page but meaning to fit to document.

Note to self. Read the full post before opening mouth and removing all doubt that you didn't know the full answer.

I was looking at the "pipework" guest tutorial and therefore making much use of the bevel tool and join types in particular.

For an ellipse the join types of mitre/round/bevel dont make sense because there are no joins on a smooth ellipse.

In XaraExtreme the buttons behave in a "radio" fashion but nothing changes because there are no joins. This seems correct.

However in ExtremePro I noticed that if the first object on the page was a bevelled ellipse then the buttons lost their "radio" behaviour and multiple buttons could be selected.

Now this is hardly a "bug" of any significance but it might be indicative of some other hidden/undiscovered problem so I thought I'd mention it.


BTW I had to search all the bug posts to make sure I was reporting something new. Maybe we need a "bugs so far summary" to make life easier.

This bug is still present in Xtreme Pro.

Type some text, apply a rounded contour (yep, then change the number of steps from 4 to 1 - who needs 4?), apply a drop shadow, then change a word or two. The words update but the contour doesn't.

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?

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.

There's also a "Zoom to drawing" icon on the Window Control Bar and in the Button Palette.

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.
