Who will announce it (xara staff)

Is Xara going to announce the next update for Xara designer Pro by Magix? Or we have to check with Magix ?

Your guess is as good as any. :rolleyes:

:banghead: I feel anything to discourage us from sticking with Magix is possible.

Xara delivers a version to Magix.
Magix "integrate" and add in Newsfeeds into http content.magix.net/newsfeeds/xns/.../ that it then links into the pop-up nag.

If you have changed the Magix folders then you have disconnected yourself from the nagging but also the sub-version (Help > Check for updates), which has never worked for major versions.
Eventually, Magix releases the new version some two-three weeks after the build date.
A week or so later Xara used to include a direct download link. This will probably no longer happen.
Magix never advertise the Release Date or Version so you are left guessing.

The closest you will now get is checking at https://www.xara.com/us/web-designer/download/.
Note if you try Download Designer Pro, you only see Pro+.

As a courtesy Xara has always advised TGers. It begs the question, what about the "millions" of Xara customers, not savvy into the merits of TG.

You couldn't make it up.

So did I, but I bow down to Egg's superior imagination.

don't desks usually have more vertical sides - and the feet are very 'tub' shaped

but egg never needed an excuse to animate :-bd

Now I never saw it as a desk but a roll top bath from the outset. The absence of body parts under the 'desk' also tends towards a bath. Glad you liked it ;)

But you were happy to accept a computer and a fully dressed person in a bathtub?

How could anyone not like it. Well 'executed' and funny. What's not to like?

I suppose it depends on your background [can't speak for egg] - I've spent so much time with cartoons boy and man that a computer balanced on the side of a bath is well, if not normal, then at least not all that strange :-O

We'll (Xara) announce it here as normal. Magix doesn't really have anything to do with this forum, they'll update their website rather, and probably send emails out.

Thanks

Google Image search identifies it with other cartoons of ...
...desks.

P.S. you never show your feet under the desk or toilet cubicle as the ghoulies can get you.

Thanks Rob.

Yet to receive a Magix email notifying me of anything.

I did sign up a while back, got nothing. Maybe their sales are so good that they do not need to advertise.
