The November 2020 update to Xara Designer Pro X 17 available.
The November 2020 update to Xara Designer Pro X 17 has been released.
This updates Xara Designer Pro X 17 to 17.1.0.60415 DL x64 Oct 21 2020
This was my experience.
On my system I originally had the march 2020 version of Xara Designer Pro X 17.
This November 2020 version did overwrite my toolbar settings. I am not sure what other settings it overwrote. Fortunately I had a backup of the registry setting where these are stored. I simply restored the reg file that my backup creates.
The help file this November 2020 update installed is actually for Xara Web Designer Premium, not Designer Pro X. Again, I restored the previous Designer Pro X help file (Albeit for 17, not 17.1).
I have sent a note to Magix support letting them know and if they could send me the Designer Pro X 17.1 CHM help file.
Note: Designer Pro X 17 did not advise me that this update was available. I download the trial version (which delivered the November 2020 installer). It asked me for my serial number (Which was not pre-filled) and I was able reregister it with my still active serial number.
On my PC, the program itself runs fine.

Make sure you select the correct version by selecting the 'DESIGNER PRO v17' button on the What's new page.

Disappointed they've deliberately held back the one useful feature from 25 June 2020 - the High DPI Support. I've been waiting and waiting and then, slump.
So they get no upgrade money from me and left with a feeling of dissatisfaction. Pro it is not!
Re: The November 2020 update to Xara Designer Pro X 17 available.
Should I wait for my Pro X 17 to tell me there is an update or do we now have to pluck it out as a trial?

I would expect Designer Pro X 17 to eventually tell you there is an update...... I just got a bit impatient.

Acorn,
In looking through the release notes, I do not see anything about the 4k support. Where did you find this?
Here is the link for the trail version from Magix at the bottom of the page - https://www.magix.com/us/photo-graph...ures/#c1215866
Have not found the manual to down load, anybody know a link for it?

Ray, my bad. It was a late night copy & paste. No 4K for XDPXv17.1.

Attachment 128261So are you saying for this much money, the 4k is not included?
Re: The November 2020 update to Xara Designer Pro X 17 available.
I have notice that I can not download the new design gallery. When I click on download all nothing happens.
So I went and ran the content installer under the help menu. After this installer ran, I then received a popup saying there is an update new update is Xara Pro X 17.1.0.60486 DL x64 Oct 29 2020. Not sure if this popup showed up is because I ran the content installer or it just took a while to show up.
Still have the problem with not being able to down load the new designs. I know I have seen this in the past and will have to do a search about this.
Just want to give a heads up on the new update to the Oct 21 update.
Ray
