Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.
I understand the need for customer feedback - This just didn't have that feel.
Seemed more like a final FU
That's not feedback, that's the old Seinfeld 'Leave on a high note'
-"GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!"
Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.
I agree, it's just another thread for having a general moan about Xtreme not going in the direction some of us would prefer. Unfortunately, we already know, from replies in other threads, that our moans are not going to change that direction and, no doubt, many will be finding such whining somewhat irksome, so I, for one, will try and curb my whinging about this.
If any spots me indulging in this again, feel free to give me a metaphorical slap!

I never minded anyone asking for things not in the program now. I'm sure that's how it got so good. I'm sure everyone wishes Xara could do everything they want to do as well as every other program they've seen with the speed and ease-of-use we've come to expect from Xara.
I do agree with one thing said earlier in this thread. There has been a change in the people on the boards. It feels like there is this growing divide between the professional and the non-professional.
Whether you get paid for what you do or not, the fact that you paid the same as me for the software means you are entitled to the same amount of input and opinion as me as a user.
We've always been a community of sorts. I'd like to keep it from becoming US VS. THEM
Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.
It's just a bit of frustration following a release that was not much of an event for some users. It'll pass.
A lot of users here have wanted Xtreme to move in a certain direction (which won't happen) and it's sad to move on. Xtreme is every bit as good as it always has been, but the world is moving around it and users needs change and the target demographic is changing. That's life.

I feel Eobet was only demonstrating how the software relates to his work flow/software tools ... and probably, as Bill Taylor mentioned above, making a plea for Xara to consider their development direction.
Good luck, Eobot and please continue to share with the us when the opportunity presents itself.e
Regards, John.

Perhaps these topics should be linked together. :rolleyes:

Mike, that link is truly scary - it took me a few moments to realise how old it was. I certainly didn't remember it.

That's the problem with internet goodbyes, you never hear the door slam.
Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.
I prefer doors not to slam. Eobet articulates points that a lot of people feel, even though they still love Xtreme.
