4.0.1 patch now available

**xarb** · 24 July 2008, 10:51 AM

The patch deletes these four files:
fax2png.exe, fax2tiff.exe,
jpeg62.dll, libtiff3.dll
Any particular reason why a patch would delete files?
Especially the DLLs which I would imagine could be necessary when importing PDFs.

Unfortunately the "bug" reported here http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=32694 has not been fixed:
"Clip photo with wiggly shape"
- draw freehand line on top of photo
- select both line and photo
- clip
- unclip
does not restore the wiggly shape, only a rectangle :-(

"A native implementation of the fax compression protocol was written which removed the need for fax2png, fax2tiff, their licenses and support dlls, and allowed more files to be imported."

I get an error saying that the patch won't install because the XaraXeng.dll is an unknown version. And yes, I do have the April 14th CD Version installed.

I encountered the very same problem. I first downloaded the 4th version and later on removed through Windows program uninstaller in order to install the program from the CD. However the download notion (DL) seems to have hung on. By removing the program again, this time with the official Xara uninstall program, and reinstalling the CD again, the problem is solved: the patch installed flawlessly.

Haven't used the patched program yet, but still want to use this place to say thanks to the Xara team.
I really love the program!

I can't get at the patch -- anything that starts with 'support.xara.com' leads to a page headed "Zend Optimizer not installed". Yesterday both TG and Xara support pages were not accessible -- at least not from here (my home in Stafford, UK) -- they timed out (I'm using Firefox 3 latest). TG works today (obviously).

Edit: Sunday 27th -- Support page now loads correctly -- thank you!

I downloaded the patch and though I have reinstalled the right version (Pro 4.0.4966 CD Apr 14 2008) nothing happens (except a blue window) when I doubleclick on the Pro_4.0.1_CDPatch.exe.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Can I just ask why it's only available for CD versions and not downloaded versions? Have the download people been naughty?!

**steve.ledger** · 04 August 2008, 08:09 PM

I don't know? Have you?

The download is a 30 day trial. Why would you want to update a trial?
Once you buy, you can unlock it for a further 60 days by which time you'll have received the CD.

I'm a happy CD user! Just that I thought I'd missed a trick with why it was just us that get the patches is all...
