You're a busy person!
Please add "alternative pressure mode for older Wacom hardware" for those who quiver to delve in to the Registry ! (sic)
Thanks a million!
Thanks Steve
Christine
Thanks, I need this to change ftp to active mode. :-bd
He da man! Thank sledger. :)
Can you explain MultiLayer Clipboard?
Disabling MLC allows you to select objects across mutliple layers and copy them to one single layer.
When enabled, objects maintain their layer distribution when copied and pasted.
I have XaReg Create Bitmap Copy set for 300dpi but I just did a bitmap copy and the resolution is 96dpi.
Also, is there any way to set the Color Depth to True Color instead of True Color + Alpha? I rarely use the + Alpha.
Seems to work fine here.
Are you pressing the 'Run Selected Program' button after changing the item or launching DPX from the desktop icon?
I don't think there's any registry option to change your other point.
I had not used Run Selected Program. And I am launching from the Task Bar. This reset a lot of thing but that's OK.
Sorry, what do you mean? Please explain.Quote:

Sorry for not replying before Steve. Thanks, that is way cool. I used it on the text flyout.
im confused
is this the same xareg they were having the design competition about?
No, this is the original XaReg being updated by Covoxer and Sledger
The design competition is for "XART"
ok now i'm just a little less confused
whats the difference between them?
still don't get why there's two xaregs with bills name on them
Frank, Frank, Frank. :rolleyes:
Bill Taylor (soquilly) and sledger created XaReg many years back to let users tweak the registry settings without having to mess about with the registry itself.
Sadly, Bill Taylor died a few years ago and there was some concern as to whether or not XaReg would continue.
Grace in the meantime started developing her own registry tweaking utility. Some of the TG members got behind this and started a contest to design a logo, etc.
But sleger and Covoxer have also continued to move XaReg forward to support the latest Xara products.
Bill died less than a year ago Gary, December 2012.
thanks gary
wasn't aware of the two apps
i guess they will both do roughly the same things?
Bill passed away 7 months ago.
The original XaReg was the result of the efforts of mostly Bill. Covoxer helped with some technical advices and my part was mostly with the UI and testing. XaReg1 was inspired by the XsetupX utility created by Covoxer a number a years before that.
Bill was working on a XaReg2 before his death on 10th December 2012.
Without the availability Bill's original source code, Covoxer and I reworked XaReg into the XsetupX UI and enhanced it's features to release it as our tribute to Bill Taylor.
As has been said, XaReg is just a tool to switch some registry settings which are already present in the Xara registry tree for those folks who are not comfortable to do it manually via Regedit.
XaReg2 does not delete keys or add any new ones and neither does it make changes to the version selected (or any other version installed which is shown in the program dropdown list) until the user does so.. Changes are applied instantly, the presence of the 'Run Selected Program' button is to make certain that you are launching the version you just made changes to rather than confusing it with another icon on your desktop or pinned to your task bar.
Any version of Xara Designer family which is open before you run XaReg is protected from registry changes as XaReg will remove all options from it's UI until the Xara application is closed.
ah ok thanks for the clarification
i use xareg and have downloaded xareg2 updated for x9
its dead handy for a whole bunch of settings
i just wondered why the split
yeah i know... Attachment 97218Quote:

What is the difference between XaReg and XART?
XaReg2 can be downloaded and used (see first post of this thread for the download link) and Xart is currently being developed. Both are supposed to have the same functions.
Thanks for the explanation. It will be interesting to see what the Xart UI end up looking like.Quote:

Pleasure.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Steve,
I tried adding 300% to the zoom list - it added OK but then the zoom to page, zoom to selected and others zoom in to 25601%.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, this is why we have the disclaimer on the About page because although XaReg makes editing the registry safer than doing so manually, it cannot predict how the application might misbehave when unexpected settings are encountered.
