Xara Designer Pro+ Update 20.3.0.59963

[ezenwa]

Welcome to TalkGraphics ezenwa

We totally agree.

I forgot to mention that even the shortcuts and the way they are used with the handlers changed. It's very uncomfortable in this new way. I'm sad
Greetings my friend, I stay tuned.

When you click New document there are only 3 options now? Options for New A4 document etc. have gone?

I'm up to date with pro + as of the update released today - I don't see this - have you checked the templates/ENG folder in program files / xara program folder on your system disc to see if any are missing?

Color profiles controls the way that CMYK colors appear on your monitor, giving you a close representation of how it will look when printed.

For more information, please see the Color Profiles article here.

Already a good approach to integrate a color management in Xara.
But as always with innovations in Xara, it’s just an immature thing.

Why can’t you set the color management, I’ll call it that even if it’s not, globally for the whole program?
For example, if I set ECI 300 and open the program again, Xara uses the first profile (US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 insted.
But I do not want to use that because it is wrong for the European Printers.

Is it possible to change this in the registry and if so where?

Save a template file with the profile set how you want. If you're sure you always want that profile then make it the default template. Same as with default colours, styles, brushes, etc. This is the model Designer has always used for settings that might differ depending on the type of document being created.

We intend to go further with ICC profile support.

Problem seems to be because I saved a new default template. On fresh install the templates are all there but when I save my new default template it says it can't save in the existing folder (due to admin rights?) and instead suggests my user/documents folder. So I do as it says and save it to my documents folder and now when I click new document they are all gone. I tried copying them all into user/documents folder but they still don't show? Never had this problem before.

Edit: actually it was my user folder and not my documents where it saved the template. When I move all the other templates to the same location as where the default template is saved they all show up again.

need to right cclick and run the program as admin maybe [once] - that should give it admin rights to the folder on your system disk

edit - you cant just copy the files because they need to be in the index xml file that xara creates, otherwise the program will not see them

sio I suggest you run as admin and see if you can now see the templates that are missing

you may need to remake your new template into the default folder

ok i see in your edit you have maybe solved the issue ?
