Good ones Miguel, and of course this is a thread I started so folks could discuss and add to the 'wish list'. With Xara X1 released some of the major bugs and some wishes were taken care of.
In my wish list I think the only thing that's not jibbing with your wish of an expanded Layer Gallery is the objects area. JohnR and I both discussed this idea to length and then I just added in this newest previewer as the user is altering the selected object. So the only other thing I can think of is to simply expand the functionality of the Layer Gallery and forget the Object Gallery. That was always one of the areas that always confused me, I could see that there were layers but there were no objects represented within each of the layers so I never invoked it very often because I'm not one to use layers all that much in my vector works (different story when using Photoshop though and I'm very comfortable using layers in Photoshop because the layers and objects are all inclusive within that dialog and you CAN mostly edit that object directly from the Layers dialog as long as that layer is selected workibg without to much bother with other objects being selected by mistake and if so it's easy enough to turn them off untill your finished editing)
So my No. 4 could be turned into a more fully functional Layer Gallery instead of another seperate Object Gallery. I think Charles had some interest in improving this area in that same thread that JohnR and I were bouncing around ideas, so that's a good sign!!
I'm sure which ever one gets implemented then the objects would be drag-n-drop'able and the hierachy that you mention makes allot of sense to me as well!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
