I don’t come here often, although I’ve been a member since 2006. The last version of Xara Designer Pro I got was XDPx10, which I downloaded in 2015. I’ve used it for various projects.

The other night, I downloaded the trial version of the new XDP10, which I guess is the latest version. I’ve played with it a bit, and I have a few question and one observation:

QUESTIONS:
  1. If I purchase the license for the disk version, will Magix provide me with a registration number to activate the trial while I await the shipment of the disk to my home in the USA?
  2. Can I use the plugins from my previous version for special effects? Will I be able to use both 32-bit and 64-bit plugins? Do the later Alien Skin plugins work with XDP10, because they sure don’t with XDPx10
  3. I’ve notice that XDP10 is faster than DPx10 (64 bit). Is that generally true or do I just have too much gunk in my old XDPx10?


OBSERVATION:
I went to the sample web pages that the website lists: http://previews.xara.hosting/charity/, http://previews.xara.hosting/hipster/, and http://previews.xara.hosting/ultimate/ as being mobile friendly. My Firefox preview tool Responsive Design Mode (ctrl>shift>m) shows that these are not responsive for several common devices. I wasn’t planning on using Xara for wed design anyhow (I use WordPress). But perhaps that’s something the engineers might want to check on.

Nice to be back here and see this community is still here.

Alan
