Hi Peter, you are correct about the paths and speed. I haven't installed any of the plugins that were offered with the Xtreme 2.0 for several versions now.
I still have Xara X, X¹, Xtreme 2.0, Xtreme Pro 3.2, Xtreme 4.0 and Xtreme 5.0 installed on one of my Windows 7 systems.
If X¹ had the same text features and import/export filters as 4.0 and 5.0 I would probably still be using it primarily.

That's it Bill isn't it - its the little things you've always wanted personally that get slowly drizzled in - like those I mentioned above, that keep you with the new versions - one might almost think they do it on purpose

You've got my vote, Bill.
Customizable keys are critical. The more, the better.
I don't use soft groups, but they're ok so long as they don't involve the dreaded layer retention.
Hi Bill, The Lite version, they always seem to spell that way, could be called Xara Professional!
Design is thinking made visual.
Peter that is a very good idea.

Sounds good to me.
Hi Bill
Sounds like somebody is getting grumpy in their old age.......joke.......
Last year Jens g r benthien posted a thread a little bit like yours, and I was completely shocked by the ignorance of some of the replies.........a lot of flaming was in this thread for no reason at all. I really don't know how to link to it so I went in and found it and copied the address.....so it should take you there for a stroll down memory lane if you wish to revisit it. Basically, he was asking for custom installing which could be a bit of which you are demanding. Instead of installing everything, chose what you want.

However, a small point. A good workman has a lot of tools in his toolbox, most of which don't get used too often. But they are there for when he needs them. Like so many, I went and bought web designer when it was offered, switching be tween version 4 when necessary. Everything is now included in the same package so the main question is.......did I blow my money buying an unnecessary program. Leaving that alone for the moment, the formum "Dear Xara" would seem to go against you in this particular thread.
Maybe old Jens had the right solution.....customized installation.......anyway, have a happy........frank
P.S. I am very happy that so far everybody had shown enough respect for you that you are not getting flamed like poor old Jens.....I was writing a bit more about maybe the forum is more mature now, but no, I'll leave it like it is.........again, for a second time..........frank

Hi Frank,
Yes I am getting grumpy with age.
I'm sure the cold weather has as much to do with it as age, or at least the aches that accompany both.
The point about many tools is a good one. I have added many tools recently, but they are not made by Xara unfortunately.
