1) If an object has a shadow previously applied to it you can't add another shadow if it's grouped with another object. I think this should be changed to allow for shadows to be applied even if previous objects in the group have a shadow applied to it.

2) Also, if a group has a shadow applied to it you can't ungroup the group without that little popup telling you need to remove the shadow first. It would be nice to have this changed, so if you want to ungroup a group that has a shadow applied then ungrouping would simply remove the shadow and then ungroup the group.

3) No way to save created fills, I really think this needs to be implemented in Xara X1, it would expand it's user friendlieness! I also see no profile options for self created fills which I think there should be a way to have an automated profile created for these self made fills.

4) An Object Gallery. When an object is created it's information is auto added to this gallery and the object would be completely editable from this gallery in case it's buried under a bunch of other objects. So if you need to change a bevel, shadow, contour, line, fills or even reshape the object. The object would be selected and stay selected so you can work on it without concern of accidentally selecting another object by mistake. An added idea would be to have a preview window pop up to the side of the Object Gallery of the selected object and all other shapes in this preview window would be made transparent by default with a aded slider to make them solid to see how the changes look to the user. I figure if Xara X1 is making use of XML then this sort of functionality should be more easily available??

5) A way to cause fills to follow curved paths.

6) Instant 3D lights and bump maps that are fully editable.

7) Since thumbnail viewing seems to be wanted so much, maybe consider expanding the functionality of XPE in the stand alone version to browse your folders and if it comes upon a .xar file or any other Xara Ltd native program file's a proper thumbnail would be created showing what's in the file, then if double clicked on the appropriate program would be launched and if it was an image file then the main XPE editor would come in to play!! That WOULD be cool!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif It would be a way to TOTALLY emliminate all this hassle of browsing Xara Ltd. program files. Maybe Charles could just include this program with Xara X1, Xara 3D and other more major program offerings as an added bonus? http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Other than that, I'm pretty darned satisfied with this package, more so than any other on the market and I have them all!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
