For those who aren't afraid to wander in the dark the Registry hides and somtimes reveals wonderfull treasures. But be aware; editing the values is not gor the faint-hearted.

But look what I've found. Burried in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\9.2\Opti ons\Freehand] there's a key "EnableShapeRecognition". Changing its value from 0 to 1 and (re)starting the program gives it the ability to produce shapes like circles and squares from scribbles that are almost circles or squarelike sketches.

This key was not in the 8.1 release.

Oh, and the ImportSize under filters is still limited to 1920. Without any problem that can be raised to 8000

I wonder which secrets others will reveal but please bear in mind what you're doing and don't try this at home!
