Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
V7 has landed! We’ve just released the new versions of both Photo & Graphic Designer and Designer Pro.
You can find out what’s new on the Xara site @ http://www.xara.com/products/designer/whatsnew/ and Gary has already published a Workbook covering the new features @ http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook89/
We hope you like it.
Many thanks
The Xara Team

Hi,
Having trouble downloading. It gets to 73% and then stops. Won't allow me to delete that file and redownload - says the file is open. No idea how to close the file, nor how to get it working from the stuck failed download. All suggestions welcome.

PS I always get stuff like this. We live in the countryside and our connection is beyond pathetic. It would be quicker to walk to Gaddesden Place and get the software, I think.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
For the last hour it's been stuck at 81%. Can't decide whether it is a dead download or whether it's worth still waiting.
I am in a loop here - if I cancel the download, I still can't get rid of the partially downloaded file, so no way to start afresh.
All ideas welcome.

The downloaded file gets saved to My Documents\MAGIX Downloads\Installationsmanager, go to this location and delete the partially downloaded file then re-run the Download Manager.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Might be better to download at a quieter time as well.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Congrats to all Xara Team. There´s a lot to like. The interface improvements are great -the Page&Layers gallery is now among the best i ever tried, snapping is amazing, edit inside groups a tremendous feature for advanced illustration, Live copies, smart object repeating, improved text anchored objects and flow WoW... Great release!

Gary,
You can't wait for something like this. It's too excitiing!
Pleased to report that I completely gave up, went and had dinner, and came back to find it had downloaded. It just needed the full three hours! Just been playing with it. I really don't know what to say about the new Magic Erase. It's absolutely astonishing. Brilliant. What an amazing time saver. And fun.
Now going to play with everything else :)

Hi,
Great improvements on the UI, live copy is a very welcomed feature!
Upgrades on snapping are nice.
Thanks for supporting the light version of the UI, me no like dark.
It's good that V6 shortcuts are usable.
Concerning live copies, it would make more sense to me if delete would just delete the instance
Adding a popup to such a basic operation can become annoying.
The flyout menu (or ctrl+delete) should be used rather to delete all instances.

And still another version without scanner support.

George - I use Dmitry Malutin's MicroScan. You can find this free utility about halfway down the Xara Xone Shareware Page.

It appears there's no more SVG Export?!!
Omission or decision?

Hi, our apologies for this. The SVG Export filter will be restored within the next update.
Kindest regards

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
If you desperately need the SVG export and are comfortable with editing the registry then run regedit and go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{62C94001-9701-4e97-9780-81A587CBE7EF}\Implemented Categories
This contains one subkey of {42F818E1-9EF6-4241-909B-91E783B9B98}
Right click on this subkey and select Rename and then insert another 9 near the end of the name so it reads "...B9B998}".
This should reenable the SVG filter the next time you run.

thanks Gerry - that restored the export for me

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Just bought the upgrade from XDP6 to 7 but haven't received an email with a licence code yet - anyone know if a delay is normal or should I have got one immediately?
-
Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
well I guess it should be available in your xara account when you sign in to your account on the website [assuming you bought it from there]
-
Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Cheers Steve, that was it.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Thanks Bhavesh and Gerry.
I can't seem to find this key on my computer, I will use V6 for this purpose meanwhile.

Interesting new features/tools. Will take time to get used to them. Live clones and the page/layer gallery with images and flyouts and individual pinning are great features, thank you.
Sorry to see my wish for a basic table generator was not included in PRO version for web designing.
Still have to use a different program to make them and use HTML placeholder to insert.
Sometimes drawing vector boxes and lining them up is just not practical for editing text charts...

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Could somebody kindly remind me how to get rid of the grey interface again please?
-
Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
sure:
alt+ctrl+shift+s - it will also reset your toolbars

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
always happy to help someone remove the magix-style UI ;)

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Just a heads up. Most of the old PS plugins are gone (including the Chrome Effect which I use ALL the time). If you click on Effects and Plugin set up and tell it to go look in the XDP6 PS Plugins folder they'll all magically reappear.
Must remember to copy that folder onto any new PC I get in the future.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Hi, a small detail: the "page and layer gallery" always start collapsed when opening a document.
Maybe It would be nice if it's state were remembered from last session.
In a situation where pages are rarely used it would be handy.
Also a shortcut for new layer would be interesting
Marc

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Marc, I agree with you on both points. You might want to write up your suggestions in the Dear Xara forum.
-
Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Please add my vote; do add this (open layers) to Dear Xara

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Yay! Cheers for XDP7! Does Xara offer additional discounts for those that have BOTH Designer Pro 6 AND Web Designer 7 Premium?
I'm hoping the discount is significant, since I'll no longer need my Web Designer 7 Premium, as DP7 encompasses all of WD7 Premium features.

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Dang, I just updated to 6 two weeks ago. Had I held out could have jumped right over 6 and saved about $60. Such is life....now where did it put that credit card.
Oops, just saw on the order page a link to contact Sales if you bought after the 18th of April.....

On the german xara-site there is only Designer pro 6. Will there also be a german Designer 7 version?
-
Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
you would have to ask Magix that I think

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Can anybody tell me what if anything would be the motivating factor for me to go ahead and order DP7? Taking into consideration that I own Photo and Graphics Designer 6 and Web Designer Premium 7 as well as 3D Maker 7 ( not to mention various previous versions and other graphics software from Corel, etc.) I am honestly asking before I spend the $129 to upgrade :) I don't want to miss out on a great discount but at the same time don't want to spend money I don't need to ( read: really can't afford to) since my car is in the shop with major repairs right now. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 are now available.
Darlene why not download the trial version and determine for yourself if there are features you need or want to use in the new version?
It does not install over any other version and can be uninstalled without causing problems with other versions.
