The Update Facility has a mind of its own; it rarely works for me.

I am sure there are lots of snippets in the "Other fixes" part but sadly no forward link on Xara's website.

I often have to manually make the programs check for the update. You can do this by going into the help menu select check for updates and the program will find the update and you will be able to run the installer.

If this doesn't work then I would suggest opening a ticket with xara support.

The update was announced when I restarted X10 a short while ago. If you close and reopen X10, the update message should pop up automatically. I don't believe that it will pop up if you already have the program open. Or just go to Help....

Update went smoothly and restarted X10. No problems yet.

I have a second instance as a 64-bit version and if I open it, it will not detect the Update.
I am sure it is probably my firewall blocking it, which is a good thing I suppose.

Can you get the update to work by temporarily disabling your firewall? I have had to disable mine (for a different software not Xara) before and I made very sure that it was back up as soon as the installation was done.

Still don't understand the grouped object resizing function but at least the undo feature seems to work correctly now.

thanks to Xara for this update. Damn if I can figure out why the default behavior stretching groups from the side acts like this. I group 3 shapes and stretch from the right...one object moves. From the left the other 2 move. If this isn't a bug, I am an idiot. Yes, holding down alt gives correct behavior.

Word from Xara support is that this is not a bug but a web designer feature called Group Squashing. It allows groups like headers and footers to change width with minimal distortion.

it means the default behaviour is geared towards DTP; - try it with two separate lines of text that have been grouped - they move apart without stretching [distorting] the text, as you might want in header and footers in DTP

so either DTP has more priority, or maybe Xara thinks DTP users are less likely to want to mess with key modifiers...

[angelize]

Actually, it's a Web Designer 10 feature. I believe the feature is meant to make it easier to quickly change the width of footers and headers when creating variants for responsive sites. I can see though where it could be handy for DTP too. I think the solution would be a button on the upper toolbar to toggle it.
