Yes I know an extra X3D is a waste for some of us (I think I may pass some of my spares onto friends!) but we are talking about $64 (with postage etc), so they might drop $10 off. For those of us who use XPro some or all of the time professionally, the tweaks will save most of us at least an hour a month so that will pay. And for the others, either don't upgrade or regard it as a charitable donation which keeps Xara interested in upgrading our favourite software.
Ah! I have seen nothing I don't like yet in Xara Xtreme 3.2! I'm still digging in the candy dish of the king of vector arts. Lime anyone?
A department manager where I work sends out a quote for the day every morning. The one he sent today seems to be appropriate
That is not to say you cannot identify a problem. The attitude that is projected when you make the problem known determines if it is a compaint or a helpful notification."If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." -- Maya Angelou

Last XaReg update
So Do I have Until July 6th to upgrade ? I think that is what I read , I might be able to afford it by then .
I have downloaded the upgrade and I will try it out.

I don't agree with this quote. Just because you can not change something does not mean that it is right. And this does not mean that your attitude is wrong. Sure no one wants to hear constant complaining.
But if no one ever complained many things would never change. Sounds like a manager.

Really? Like what? I don't see anything but bloat in this upgrade, as an excuse to charge us for bug-fixes. If this is what Magix brings to the table, I'm not sure I want any. This is Xtremely disappointing to me.
Since when does time determine version numbers? That is just absurd.
I hope they work better than the existing filters. Last Friday I tried to export a simple graphic for a T-shirt - a rectangle, four words of text and a couple of registration marks - and I couldn't get it to work as a .cmx [32 bit] or .ai. Worse still, it somehow corrupted the file afterwards rendering it completely unopenable....new filters that have been developed such as XPS and SVG export.
Yes, instead of getting bug-fix patches for free in a timely manner, we now have to put up with the bugs until a few useless things are thrown in to justify an upgrade charge. Very impressive.
I cannot overstate my disappointment at this turn of events. I was wondering why we hadn't had the usual patches since Pro was released, now I know. Is there a list of big-fixes somewhere so I can decide if enough useful work has been done to justify the upgrade price, which I think is what I originally paid for Xara 2.0? I certainly don't want to have to overwrite my current installation just to decide I won't be upgrading [for the first time in 9 years].
Xara (Magix),
Thank you for the XaraXtremePro upgrade opportunity, but I think I'll pass for now; not enough bang for my buck. There are some nice new features, but nothing I can't easily live without. I'm sure many others will find the upgrade well worth the price.

I did upgrade, but the upgrades are meager, but the good strong euro
now, made me decide to upgrade anyway, but they better not try
this meager upgrade system again in half a year.
The upgrade price is what Magix normally charges for their full software.
But Xtreme is ofcourse better, I understand that, but 49 dollar is a bit steap
for what you get. Could have bought me a nice full game too.
But I let it slide this time.
be aware, not to become a ware.
