Thanks, Neil! The first problem was resolved doing the registry edit you suggested. Thanks, that's a big help! As for the second problem, I guess I'll have to wait for the fix.

Another thing, for some reason the zoom shortcuts of using the number keys 1 2 3 4, doesn't work. It works with the Ctrl+Shift 1 2 3 4, but not just the plain keys as it's supposed to. Any suggestions for this?

Your second problem is fixed in 3.2.1 which you can pick up from our web site now. See http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=27936.

If your zoom shortcuts (or other new 3.2 shortcuts) don't work, it's most likely because you still have customised shortcuts that you setup with 3.0. Unfortunately there is no way of picking up the new 3.2 shortcuts while also keeping hold of your customisations. So to reset your shortcuts to the 3.2 defaults, run up the shortcuts tool and choose "Reset all shortcuts" in the Shortcuts menu, then Save & Apply. Then restart Pro and you should find that the zoom shortcuts work.

Thanks

Neil

Well, I took the time to read through this thread. I'm not sure I see the advantages of upgrading yet. Over the years I've purchased and tried nearly every product from Xara. I stopped at Xtreme. I didn't even purchase Pro. I would like to see a better upgrade for those of us who have multiple Xara products. And I don't need another copy of X3D. How about another $10 off if we already own that or some of the other Xara products? I might do the upgrade at some point, but not right now. I'm just not sold on it.

I'm really kind of shocked by this...

Xara has knocked my socks off since CorelXara! many years ago.

I was kind of miffed when I saw the Xara-XaraXtreme-XaraXtreme Pro upgrade path happen, and now we're paying for point upgrades?

I love this software, but it's starting to feel like it's shifting from a low-cost alternative to a higher-cost package with a payment plan...

Neil,

Is the 'charge for point upgrades' part of the new business plan?

If so, please say it out loud, because it will clearly determine my future with Xara.

Well said, Berklee. I brought this up elsewhere when the point upgrade was announced. According to the fan boys and cheerleaders, we should just be grateful and suck it up and pay and pay and pay for each point upgrade at Xara's discretion. The fact that most companies do not charge for point upgrades and bug fixes totally escaped the sheep.

This shows either their blind unquestioning cult like devotion or else that they buy very little software.

Maybe it's because I was fortunate enough to find CorelXara about 7 years ago in a dollar-store clearance bin for a dollar.

I've upgraded to Xara X, Xara Xtreme, Xara Xtreme Pro, and purchased Xara3D. Now in order to get a MAINTENANCE UPDATE (which despite all these value-adds, is all it is... I didn't ask for the Magix product, nor do I want it), I have to pay 70 dollars?

I don't know if it's Xara, Magix, or who is directly responsible for this, but I see it as a kick in the face to anyone who's remained loyal.

To those who are willing to open their wallet every time Xara say they changed a font on something or stopped something from crashing, good on ya. But for guys like me who work 20 hours a week, I can't afford it. So my exposure to new features has to be limited, and what was once a great low-cost alternative seems to be slowly turning into just another high-end graphics platform with little or no respect for its user base.
