    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    That is not the most customer friendly approach I’ve encountered. (-: But no different to so many others. When people are needed to help make an app, they’re of interest, but once the individual no...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    This too, is a possibility. However, getting back to my original issue, there has already been time to create an on-line version. There is presumably no impediment to this working on mobile platforms...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    Yes, a Linux version would be interesting. Sadly, if the bean counters can’t see a profit in making a version that works on tens of millions of iPads, then Linux will also be out in the cold....

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    You raise an interesting and valid point. There are many thousand developers for IOS that are much, much smaller than Xara. Okay, the majority probably don’t have much overheads, but the principle is...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    Well, then it may not be a question of resources? What I mean is, Xara Cloud can read desktop files, so the thought must be there to do more.

    As for tablet sales slowing, so are desktop sales as...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    So the sense of this I am getting, is that Xara management believe the most profit can be derived from serving corporate needs, and there is not enough profit for them to cater for an on-line version...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    So why not develop an IOS based model of Xara web designer? Wolf Web Designer is pretty much there, but obviously cannot open my Xara desktop files. Is it that Xara just does not put any value on...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    Alas, I fear that you are probably correct. Xara, built on individual appreciation, headed toward corporate sales. A pity, as the company could do both. It reminds me of Apple, who used to accomplish...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    It is strange to think such a good product was not considered viable in a Mac OSX version, given that it was and to a large extent still is the preferred platform for designers.

    As for the on-line...

    Re: Why I may abandon Xara

    I see no good reason why Xara can’t offer a stand alone, one time payment iPad version of products, perhaps with IAP extras, but full functionality included, and a pay-as-you go version of the same...

    Why I may abandon Xara

    Under another name, Xara is product that I helped to develop, via the original beta program, long before you sold it to Corel, then got it back again. I always thought it was an absolutely brilliant...
