How about lean version of Xtreme

[tonylondon]

put a bit simplistically..
this has expanded now to a point where I am not at all sure which of the three strings: 'vector' 'fun-with-photos' or 'HTML generation' is the most important in terms of the product itself; but know I still only need the first

This sums up my situation too. A fourth string - DTP - also interests me and I always look out for the developments in this area, although there is a long way to go. It would be great to be able to dispense with Indesign.

I support what Phil says too. I'll carry on buying upgrades provided there is enough extra in my two 'strings' of interest, irrespective of the rest of the developments.

In my use of the program I haven't encountered the problems cited in this thread.

Hi Tony,

I will keep upgrading Xtreme Pro and other Xara apps as long as I am still around and Xara continues to create them.

Even with a few issues, Xara (in my opinion) creates the greatest programs around.

My initial post requesting a lean version was a personal wish but in no way would keep me from enjoying Xtreme Pro as my primary drawing application.

Thank you for saying that you won't be releasing more combinations of product features as yet another product. I would think that there are enough options with WD, Xtreme, and Xtreme Pro...

I really actually like that I can create layouts and graphics and export to get a good pic of what the page might look like on the web and then individually export the graphics as I like if I want to assemble them in another application (like MS Expression Web). If I don't want to export the HTML, I don't. Simple. But the option is there and in certain circumstances, is VERY valuable.

Just thought I'd come back and say thanks again to Bill for the XaReg update re the multilayer clipboard option [as posted by Phil], now that I have been using the new version for a while

preserving layers when required is very welcome indeed - but there are times when it is not good and very disruprive to established workflow

like in so many things, wonderful to have the choice [and the XaReg]

If you appreciate the work Bill puts into XaReg, use the Donate button and drop him a few bucks. What I've sent doesn't begin to cover the amount of time he's saved me.

Thanks again, Bill!

Current state of Xtreme Pro is perfect for me. I love the web and photo features along with the core features and would not want to change applications between vector Xara and web Xara only because the current task leans towards either end.

During the time when I was using Web Designer I really hated the fact that time to time I needed to go to Xtreme Pro to make some more advanced vector stuff and then paste that over to WD. Back in those days I needed to keep two separate files for one project. Not ideal at all!
