Things that should have been added

[sgiff]

First of all thanks to the Xara team for adding the one thing that I really needed and that is Photoshop support. Part of the reason for always being frowned upon when I use Xara and need to work in the non-Xara world is compatibility with Adobe products, thank you VERY much for this. There are however many small suggestions been added to wish lists over time on this forum that would be easy to implement and one that never seems to get put in is the ability to rotate groups of points independently when editing an object so let's say that you have drawn a character and his arm is down but you want to bend it up, you have to cut the arm at the elbow, rotate it and the reattach it and clean up the extra points that were introduced. What a pain, this has been a feature in other programs for a long time and actually one time a long time back I mentioned it in a wish list and Charles said that it was already a planned feature but then nothing happened with that for the next several upgrades. For anyone who has to do work requiring this type of art this is a HUUUUGE timesaver and yet I would trade a lot of the newer features since X came out for this tiny little feature. There have been many other small enhancements like this that have been in wishlists that have been totally forgotten that I think many people would agree we could definitely use more than some of the other features like flash animation, which I do love the swf export but I can animate whatever in Flash.

Other than that, Xara Corp. thanks alot for the upgrade. Cheers, and I'm glad Xara is finally charging a decent price for their upgrade.
