For existing Xara Xtreme owners here is a list of some of the smaller fixes and improvements in Pro ;
• Name gallery improvements Improved so that it shows more detail on the fonts used in a document, using the full font name as shown in the font gallery. It also shows variations of a font as a separate selectable font name, as well as the font family (e.g.. “Arial Bold”, “Arial Italic”, “Arial Regular”.) It shows at a glance which fonts have had to be synthesised and which are not installed. • Improved clipboard compatibility with MS Office and other apps e.g. You can just copy anything in Xara and paste direct into Outlook and it embeds a JPEG • Print dialog completely re-designed • Document Info dialog improved • Error handling improved so that in the event of a program crash you’ll normally get the chance to continue and save your work. • Automatic zoom out when importing photos, so the whole image is instantly visible • New ‘100% zoom’ operation added to zoom toolbar and key short-cut of Ctrl+Shift+1. • Improved support for using Xtreme with multiple monitors • Improved support for accented characters, Unicode and non US keyboards • Frame (animation) gallery order reversed, so it now shows first frame at the top • Line width now shown in pix if the page unit is Pix • You can now set the coordinates origin to top left corner increasing downwards. • The main toolbar should automatically show small icons on small screens Dragging a file onto the title bar no longer opens MDI windows • Copy / Paste attributes on text now works more reliably. You can more easily create 'text styles' using small snippets of text. • The line width shows widths in pixels if your page units are pixels (the list of widths will be improved before the final release) • New option in Grid & Ruler to allow the ruler origin to be top left and coordinate values to increase downwards And the most significant feature improvements of the lot: • The caret in the text tool now blinks ! Plus there have been dozens of smaller fixes. As some of you may realise, most of these smaller improvements have been requested on the TalkGraphics forums. For the day-to-day user they are significant improvements. Last edited by Charles Moir; 16 November 2006 at 02:53 PM. |

That sounds all really good!
The dozens of smaller fixes... do they include the "two-screens-with-different-resolutions-bug"? |

Here's one change I've noticed that's not mentioned above is that sizes in Xtreme are now maintained on export as .swf to Flash. I think this will save hours of work for those who use Flash.

You brought it up recently in the forum, so your post reminded me to chase it up. As a two-screen user I was a proponent of getting this one fixed. |

I would imagine that it would be the case, but before I sign the check to get the new version of Xara (sight unseen), I'd like to be sure. ![]()

Odat,
It works as you describe. Set the origin to the upper left corner and the Y values to increase going down. The top left corner of the object is the location coordinates. |
