Xtreme 4 - another update

[Centaurus]

Hello Steve,

"Paste in place is broken" bug is confirmed by the support team, so they're able to reproduce it.
It usually happens when I copy an object (a complex object normally, a group with LiveEffects maybe) and paste it into another drawing, expecting it to appear at the same place, but it appears far far away from boundaries. If I zoom-zoom-zoom out my drawing, I'm able to see it. Drawings are of the same dimensions.

Concerning Undo problem: I don't know when it happens for I press Undo rather often and can't keep a track on which steps I have performed by the moment.

But I noticed it happens sometimes when I select an object and try to change it's color with Color editor. Often I don't check if the fill color or line color is selected in Color dialog, so the wrong color type is changed (I want a fill color, but a line color is modified). That I press Undo and nothing happens. I have to change the color back manually.

Concerning Undo "jumping" - I just don't know. I usually open 2 views of a document, one is of actual size and other one is zoomed in. And sometimes when I press Undo working in zoomed-in view, the zoomed document jumps to some direction so I have to scroll it back to the place. In fact I don't even know if Undo works correctly in this case, for it jumps away and I can't see if something has changed actually.

Have you looked at the settings on your Options page and also the Document Info to see your undo size?

[Centaurus]

In fact I didn't.

But I believe even if my Undo size would be over (which is hardly to happen, for I'm currently working about 2 hours and have only 377K of 100M filled) then the oldest steps would be removed from Undo buffer, not the latest..

Do not know if this is what Centaurus is experiencing or not. If you are zoomed in on a complex shape and are performing boolean operations if you hit undo and it happens to de-select the node in view Xtreme will go back the previously selected node and attempt to adjust the screen view to show the now selected node. It happens also if delete the node in view, Xteme apparently decides what the new view should be and shifts the zoom. But this happened for me in 3.2 also.
I also agree that the gradient is a little wonky compared to earlier versions. If you have a shape selected, click the fill tool, then click and drag to create a linear gradient, release the mouse, it leaves one of the fill nodes selected but the correct color is not shown in the Color Editor. I resolve this by hitting Tab a couple of times until Xtreme sorts itself out.
I have also experienced some weird behavior with the color editor but have not been able to document it yet.
adios

Centaurus, just so you don't feel alone. I have had plenty of pasteing issues with the latest release. Some of which will crash SU and kill the file.

I've be working on a two-page, 11x17, landscape brochure.

1. As you say Paste in Place is really broken and if you copy objects from one 11x17 file and try to paste in place into another nothing happens.

2. If you want to "Crash -N-Kill", place an object at each corner of a 11x17 page 1, select the four objects, now try to drag-copy and drop them onto page 2 (in my case, it is also 11x17). Viola, you get error and Xara4 shuts down.

I just tried no.2 and no crash and burn here.

I'll try and find one of the files that do this and post. Busy now, however.

I am so glad that I can switch off the photo editor pop up.
I always managed to make this thing appear, when not wanted.

Thank you guys.
It's an ambivalent feeling: on the one hand I'm not happy Xtreme have all those bugs, but on the other hand I'm glad to feel it was not my imagination or just my individual problems. I was starting to think noone else sees them and cares about them.
