Xara Xtreme update

There's a minor update to the preview Xara Xtreme now available. You can update to this version if you wish, but it's probably only worth it if the following areas have been giving you problems.

Main Fixes since Tuesday’s version.
- CMYK TIFF misses shadow
- Flash export broken in Xtreme
- Selection handle problems with brushes
- Part of clipview image missing
- Text attributes not copied fully
- Various PDF export fixes

There is a problem with installing over the last one. Please uninstall Xtreme using the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove program before installing this version. Oh and don't have any older Xara X running when you install this one.

Download URL is exactly the same as before:

Thank you. I did have some oddities with clipview.

I don't suppose you could answer my question, now posted in two other threads, about the whereabouts of plugin API info?

The plug-in API we're hoping will be provided from the Xtreme website when it's launched or, if not, shortly after. We already have third parties developing Xtreme / XPE plug-ins and if you're a developer interested then we can provide this now.

I am an interested developer. Although I must admit that what I'm looking to achieve, first off, is probably of very limited use to anybody but myself, I could maybe build something of more general interest from its foundations. So how to proceed?

Hi,

I just tried to install Xtreme's update but unfortunately I end with an error (see attachment).

I use a Windows 2000 pc, I did remove the first Xtreme installation and had no other Xara programs active at the time.

The first Xtreme installation earlier this week went perfect, but this one's causing me some problems. Does anyone have a suggestion how to repair this?

Regards, Albert

Can't help Albert but...

If you have already downloaded the movies, before you install the update, copy the files from the HelpandSupport folder, and then you can put them back.

Hi stlewis,

thanks, I did that but the problem still exists. Did I tell you that Xtreme won't even start anymore :(
Any other ideas out there?

Either XPE was running still, or the files were locked for some other reason, so the uninstaller could not delete those files. That would have messed up the next install. If you un-install again (from Control panel), manually delete the program files folder if necessary, and re-install it should be OK.

So... you are saying to have no version of xara running when you do the removal. Then delete the directory if still there. then reinstall... Sounds easy enuff to me. :)

Hi John,

sure, I tried deleting all folders and files; both manually as well as from the Control Panel several times. Both methods led to the same error (see a screen dump in my previous posting).

Finally, I re-installed Xtreme's October 4 version which installed and works without any problem whatsoever. So I'm happy to be able to explore Xtreme again and wait for the final release.

I haven't had a chance to download the latest build... maybe there is a bug in that one with win2000. :o

Hi,

just wanted to let you all know the the guys at Xara HQ did another great job and fixed my problem (see above).
So now I'm running Xtreme's latest version on my Windows 2000 pc.

Thanks, guys!

Just happened to me today
here is the fix,
do a search in windows
for gdiplus32.dll

once you find this
make a copy of the file
then paste the file in to the windows
system32 folder, log off, log on then start Xara Xtreme,
all should be fine now.

I had to install xtreme answer ok,
even though it said to cancel
one installed, i uninstalled it,
added the gdiplus32.dll to system 32 folder
then reinstalled,
and everything went to working again.

Hi Jeffery,

thanks for your reply and possible solution. However I'm happy to inform you that Xara had solved my problem last night my letting me install Xtreme's Oct.10-version. I don't know what they've changed, but it works just fine!

Regards, Albert

I just noticed Oct 10 release... but the first download was 21M, the Oct 7th was 28M and now the 10th is 21M again... what was the extra 7M for in the middle and has it been removed for the 10th?

Hey Glen,

I think that was movies and no movies for the size difference... :rolleyes:

The 'Text attributes not copied fully' bug has not been completely fixed in the 10 oct. release. See attachment.

Not everything is fixed on every release. some are worked, others are but on the back burner, others are not worth the effort...

I do not know how many times I suggested putting in a margarita maker, but I have yet to see it... :rolleyes: :D

Yuk! How about a milk shake maker instead?? I much rather prefer a malted any day!! Easier on the liver too!!

Hey Richard,

You will most likely get your malted milk maker 'afore I gets me margarita maker... :D
