No bonus CD with XARA X1?

I ordered my XaraX1 from the german reseller.
I had asked on the phone and he says that the versions are identically, only the box is different. Now I got my CD (great) but no bonus CD was with it :-(.
Did anyone know more about it?

sorry Jup,

Can not help you there. I am still waiting on my boxed set...

Jup, it would appear that everything you need is on a single CD this time. 353 MB on the hard drive seems like enough to me... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

On Xara X, the second CD was just the movies, which have been redone more efficiently;for example, compare the current bevel movie to the older version, 2974 KB as compared to 6949 KB. The same information is imparted, but at a much lower file size, with the only real trade-off being a bit of audio quality.

The apparently identical fills on this CD are JPG, whereas the prior version were TIF format, explaining the difference in size.

BUT, there are different themes and a LOT less clipart this time around, though I really didn't make use of either of those with X, so it didn't bother me too much, though I WAS looking for that second CD as well... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

If you mean the disc with the Xara Xone tutorials, I think that only comes in the boxed version.

Sigh.......... still waiting on my boxed version to come too!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I think I read on one of the threads that another California based user already recieved theirs so where oh where is my boxed version??

Is there a way to check on this like a tracking number?? I didn't get a proper reciept (via email) and the one I got on line after the purchase I don't think had a tracking number included on that page!

Any ideas anyone?? http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

RAMWolf,

Yup, I not only got my personal copy over here in Livermore, but a second copy at work in Sunnyvale. Both were CDs only, not the boxed set, so I can't confirm that the bonus CDs will arrive in the box.

BTW, with the rodeo passing through last month, and horse racing at the Alameda fairgrounds in Pleasanton now, maybe we take the Smellmont moniker for a while.

Hi Richard,

Charles made a post a few days ago that the boxed version was delayed for a couple of weeks. Something about the Printers and the box.

Thanks for the replies boys. OK, I'm calm now, waiting.......... waiting......... waiting.......... sigh............ waiting.......... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

@Gary
I ordered the box version. The reseller is using a different cover and an amary case.
And yes, I'm looking for the second disk with the tutorials and the PDF manual.
I think I will give him a call tomorrow.

Hi guys,

I ordered the boxed version for the pretty keyboard overlay... and the box of course. Been so many years and versions without a box. Last box I got was corel Xara v1.1 http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

To summarise.. when coming direct from Xara:

CD only version: one CD (it's what used to be the product and movies CD now condensed into one).

Box version: the same one, condensed CD and Gary's XaraXone CD too. Plus shortcut card and, of course, the box itself.

No boxed versions have been dispatched yet, please check the FAQ thread for updates to this. I am posting updates there when things happen, and should be used to see what's going on in terms of dispatch.

I had emailed XARA and the support has offered without hesitation to send me the missing bonus CD. I just received it.
Great support indeed, XARA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Themes

I've found a themes folder on the CD - and it gets included in the installation of XaraX1. It relates to some of the web page themes in Webstyle. I'm not sure what it means! Perhaps the hope that Webstyle users have for XaraX support will be fulfilled...
