XaReg revisited

[gracehjs]

One thing I hadn't realised, XaReg looks to see what versions of Xara software is on your system. So it will work for the new release, as long as the registry hasn't changed. Of course no new stuff can be added.

One thing I hadn't realised...

Yes, Bill (and Steve ) did a very thorough job developing XaReg.

There are some registry keys posted in this thread you might want to have a look at.http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...233#post475233

I have a request:

Is there something in the Registry that determines the area where you can accurately hit a node?

I either need glasses, or a larger cursor, or something a programmer might be able to provide to lessen the errors for example, when I try to reshape a rectangle with the selector tool, and wind up moving the rectangle instead of hitting the control point I need.

For all the things one might say about CorelDRAW, the larger-than-life control points are easy to click on.

TIA,

Gary

There is Gary Hit detect, end hit detect AND the blob (node) sizes in XaReg2 (as it was in XaReg too)

Looking at XaReg22 on the sizes tab, you can change the size of selection handles.

Thank you both Grace and John for the advice.

Lordy, if this was CorelDRAW, this node size thing would be under Options in the program, not the Registry!

My Best,

Gary
