    Thanks for reporting this Gary. We will try and reproduce the problem and then try and determine what process is causing the window to appear.

    Don't forget to use "custom install" or you will get simpleclean installed.

    Grace, I've never gone for a Custom Install on any Xara product and I've always had the option to not install SimpliClean,

    Then they changed their policy because it used to install automatically if you did the standard install. I always use the custom install so I cannot dispute what you have observed.

    Gary, it pops up ticked, which I detest, but "measure twice, cut once" still applies to this electronic medium,

    Downloaded and installed. Great fun for the price of a nice lunch.

    Is it all? Funny!
    It's a pity!
    I am interested in the last point. What specific improvements by PSD/PDF ex/import? Probably again invisible improvements.

    I'll wait for PRO version. Maybe a miracle will happen. Modern AI/PSD export, warp transform tool, some new vector tools and vector patterns, color management etc... ))

    regarding PSD improvements: you can now map xara objects to PSD layers - ie you can tell the PSD export to export every xara object as a seperate PSD layer - and when importing you can choose to convert every PSD layer to a seperate xara object - this is actually very useful as far as I am concerned

    the new alignment distribution options are a nice touch, and as mentioned previously the naming of objects in the gallery is long overdue and most welcome

    if i was using photo and graphic designer then I would upgrade on the basis of these features; I don't do photgraph manipulation in xara, nor do I use it as much as I once did, but the PSD filter changes and the ability to name objects in the layer gallery would save a lot of time when I do use the program.... it remains to be seen what is offered for Designer Pro and the more expensive upgrade...

    but it did not always do this - that is Gary's point - we had more than one thread on the subject back in the day.... maybe it all depended which program you were installing.... I too always do custom installs regardless...
