Re: Xara hosting FTP details
the only thing magix have control over is the packaging of the installers for the non xara pro+/cloud programs, and the marketing and distribution of these, which presumably includes timing of release of the compiled updates - but xara still control the update agenda in terms of what content is included and always did, but I rather think pro+ will get priority now because it is a pure subscription model and they need to make it look attractive
Re: Xara hosting FTP details
THank you for the clarification. I have a love and hate relationship with Xara. Sorry if at times I come out bitter.
Re: Xara hosting FTP details
I love the program UI and the speed of throwing vector together
the company on the other hand is a commercial entity that has never made loadsamoney and still has to find it's feet in yet another incarnation; I wish it well, but love [or hate] does not come into it ;)
animation is a precise thing, but I only need to make one version of the vector asset to put in harmony and then I can do the rest in that program
xara enables me to wing it in the rough design stage - really what it started out as before all this web stuff, and I feel sorry for the way you get locked in with the OCC etc
I'm also long past the stage of doing line art and colouring in xara; harmony has made that just too easy these days with its real time pen stabilizer settings and its pen pressure profiling [xara - its on or it's off, that's so last millennium :p ]
