NOT WORKING. I float it like in your example, but move it around, and it will immediately expand to full size. Or, still floating : if you have 2 or more files open, which I typically do, switch to...

Well, yes, it is AN ISSUE. And if this is MEANT to be, am I then MEANT to drop this software ?
The irritation of having to endlessly correct an obvious programming fluke !

I have my Page & Gallery docked at left, open all the time, and set at a specific width, about 220 pixels. No Xara buttons at the vertical left.


It stays at this width as long as I don't open a...

Out of memory - very often lately, with Xpro 4.0.4966, exporting large PNGs.

I re-installed X3.0, in frustration, and it had no error while X4 still did !

Calm, SS-Kalm. Yes I did post this question earlier, but nobody was answering. And look now.
It is good, though, SS-Kalm, that someone's minding the discipline.


So, no backslash, then.

Problem :

I customize key shortcuts, click OK, also save the keyset.ini file.

All customized shortcuts work OK during current session.
Then : Exit program, Open again, all keys reverted to...

Customized keys work only in current session.

The program will have forgotten them next time, except for a few, 6 in 30.

Saving the keyset.ini file does no better. Same few keys.

Fix ?

Oops - did not see the Right-click on color option.

I would like to take back my "offended" tone.

The Arrange buttons used to be colored, very easy to spot the right one.
Now they're...

Why do we now have a Menu opening up to Set Line Color ?

It's beyond maddening.

Is there a way to get back the old Right Click - once ?




And how about the new Arrange icons ? (...

Marketplace.

Xara can charge anything they want.

And we may buy, or not.

( We, the people.. Or is it weeee...)

Miguel,

This is not it.

I sdid work with a 2GB RAMDISK, with no increase in speed compared to hard disk. That's what made me ask if Xara was writing to a disk cache, and could I then move that...

Miguel,

( Thank you.)

I have a SCSI 39320 and one Atlas 15K 36GB in this computer.
If I add one more Atlas for a Raid0, it should compare well with the Raptors, I think ?

I always thought...

I also do a lot of drawing with ink and markers.

I use TVPaint for freehand drawing and painting with the computer, and Cinema 4D for typical 3D illustrations.

Thank you.

Vectors and photos only on many layers.

You make me blush.

All : Thanks for suggestions.

Charles : I use only png - both when creating bitmap copies and when importing 'stick-ons'.

Minimiro,

You are not wrong, but I have clients who require tiff images 36" and wider @300dpi delivered on CD.

They pay for it.

So I still want to see if there is a way to speed up saving...

Note : My final product is a 40" - 48" wide print @ 300 dpi,
which gives you more than 12,000 pixels accross.

Availor,

Don't say 'too large.' ( see drawings.)

I just tried Xara Pro ( which really moves faster, impressive ) but saving files is only marginaly beter.

It's not the writing to disk in...

I work with large 'xar' files, 50 -100 MB.

They contain many large bitmaps, both imported and created.

It takes a long time to save these large files, which I do very often for protection.
