Any hints on when XD 10 will be released?
2014?
Surely we've already had version 10.
Didn't we have Xara Designer Pro X?
And then we got Xara Designer Pro X9.
So, shouldn't we be looking for version 8??? ;))
and we also had xara X ten years ago [give or take] and X1 shortly after..... :eek:
:D
If last year is any indication, Designer Pro X 10 was the last of four products released last year and each release was about 1-2 months apart. So, probably something mid year is my guess.
aha so that is what it shall be called :)Quote:

And can we presume that for those of us who buy the Rolls Royce product, it will include all the responsive tricks in Web Designer 10 Premium? (Historically it has but...)
I don't know that for sure. I am making an assumption that if Web Designer 9 is now Web Designer 10 that Designer Pro X9 will be called Designer Pro X10.
But as we used to say in the Army, assume makes an ass our of u and me. (Well I did not say that, but I heard it often enough :rolleyes: )
sure Gary... all these things are Xara's call and they historically don't say upfront.... but I reckon you are as close as anyone to what goes on, if not closer, without actually being there [so to speak]
Same old routine, if you forked out for their most expensive product, you will have to wait at least a couple of months for the new tools or if you want them sooner you will need to buy/upgrade a program that you will never use again once the new version of XDP comes out. Why do they do this?
I totally agree with you. It's very frustrating, not being able to use the new responsive tool (because I need it right now for a client).Quote:

However, since I wanted to try it on some sites I went ahead and paid the $19.99.
I am able to run both versions and not getting the corrupt error you show in another thread.
Not a lot of use as there is usually much longer between releases, as is the case here, yet again.Quote:

I'm finding the wait for XD(?)Pro very unfortunate as well. I was stupid enough to produce a site in the WD10 trial with the responsive feature and now the site needs amending and my trial has run out. Do I buy WD10 and use it once to amend an existing site or wait, and possible wait some more, for XD11Pro (or whatever it will be called). Why not release the flagship programme first and the other stuff later for those that don't want to fork out for the full Designer Pro?
I know its not the done thing, but a hint for a release date to stop people spending money unnecessarily would be a way of looking after regular and faithful customers.
revenue streams is what it's about when it comes to the order of releases I would think ...
if you look on the xara website at what's currently on offer it seems unlikely that 'XDP ver10' will come out before july ....
As XDP has everything it would require all features to be available at once. Releasing, say, the new web facilities as soon as they are available rather than waiting for, say, graphics or dtp makes economic sense, even it it is frustrating for those of us with the whole program.Quote:
