More new version requests: Original ideas

**aridzone** · 27 September 2007, 03:19 AM

Does anyone have NEW requests that haven't been discussed before?

Here are a couple of mine:

Open last edited
Extract all frames
Batch conversion

Could you explain open last edited for me? It sounds like the recent file list to me... (which can be changed from the default of 4 up to 9).

I would like nested layers... Already discussed several years ago.

Being able to navigate to more templates would also be nice. So we wouldn't be limited to the couple that are delivered/made....

Linking objects like EPS in a similar way as Coreldraw, Indesign and other apps can do. When you Import/Place an object on the page you will see the preview image (like a place holder) of the imported graphic. This would be nice when you have for example logos as EPS files, and xara does a terrible job when it comes to importing EPS. Yes, I know EPS is an old (obsolete?) format and PDF or something newer should be used, bit it is still very alive and kicking as there are a lot of old material like logos around.

Thanks for the request thread. I was going to write an upgrade request today, but it was made fun of last time. Well, I work on these huge scenes that have on average of 50 layers. I was wondering if it would be possible when you click on a vector image in the scene- the layer would be highlighted in the layer dialogue box to let you know which layer and where its located in the scheme of things. This would help when placing things in front of or behind another vector image. Again thanks for a rockin program thats literally saved my life. Please hire me

I used to work in game programming.

Hi Steps,

The status line shows the layer for a select object.

"Open last edited" and other startup options would be really welcome. Basically ticking "Open last edited" in preferences would open... the last edited work directly.

9 last files is way too short for me, I'd love to have 20+ entries in the recent list.

You can use Windows's own My Recent Documents and increase the limit from its 15 default

The downside with the recent document list is it lists all programs. 4 Word, 6 Autocad etc. It will never have enough of each separate type to rival the 9 (typical) shown under each application. I'm with Jon listing the last 20-25 per application would be good.

Just as a side note, how do you increase the number of documents in the recent documents list anyway?
