This was a suggestion by me on another thread to prioritize what we'd like to see in a new version of Xara X, and list these.
I will start this thread with my own newbie observations about Xara X, and what I'd like to see.
1) My primary concern has been with using layers. As a Photoshop user, I would like to see objects named and listed on their own layers, whether using the Names Gallery or the Layers Gallery to do this. I just want it to be more organized, and possible to keep track of all the objects, and their respective layers.
2) I would like to see the program debugged to avoid crashes while using brushes, blends, etc. For example, I have had two drawings open, and have tried using a bitmap image from one drawing, as a fill in the other, with a resultant crash. Either make it impossible to do this, or make it not crash the app.
3) I'd like to see exporting of files that are more compatible with major apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., with full and compatible color information, especially CMYK. And better exporting of jpegs and gifs for the web, with more choices of dithering methods for gifs.
Those are my priorities, and I would be happy as a clam if a new version included only those features. (At least until I am more experienced using Xara X.)
