Thanks for asking! Here's a few:



GUI cleanup – consolidation of web features, which are currently scattered in several RMB menus. Where it make sense to have non modal access to more than one...

I can't see that advantage.
Replacing a cms database with an automatic backup is no more difficult than re-exporting a Xara file. I don't feel the panic you describe in terms of
breaking plug-ins...

I have built large business websites with Xara in the past but would very clearly no longer recommend anyone using Xara for this sort of work.

When I did these sites +5 years ago I had a decent...

Rob, any browser based software (really absolutely any – from Web-Development to CAD) performs poor for power users due to lack of hotkeys.
Some tools give you a very basic set of shortcuts, but...

It is pretty obvious that a lot of veteran users would like the Xara-makers to re-focus on Vector editing.
Some of these users also have adapted Xara's image editing tools and find them useful.
...

Google has clear demands in terms of useful URLs, Slugs and Meta-Descriptions (length, keywords) and on keyword handling in Headlines and Body text.
At this point however, the word Search Engine...

Hi Phil,
I understand that there's some interesting aspects in offering software exclusively running in a Browser.
Probably the most outstanding one is cross-platform availability. Suddenly it no...

You are correct with all your statements on printing but I was talking of image editing.

Even when the output goal is printing and the final image gets downsampled having a bitdepth
headroom is...

In addition to what mwenz said: Xara in all what it does is limited to 8 bit colour depth per channel.

That limits the usefulness of its Vector tools for certain purposes (which for instance...

Kate,
to my surprise you are perfectly correct and my statement was wrong. I instantly felt an urge to apologize
but then I thought this was actually inadequate.

I'm an advanced user, do read...

Ok, I have to admit, that I did not know that. As one loses other externally hosted content it seemed
pretty evident that the same will happen with all Slideshow-content too. It in fact is the case,...

Why so? One hardly discredits this volunteers community with this statement.

The reality is, that I really have to consider what to do when I run into technical issues and have wishes:
People at...

I was the one who said this. It simply struck me as odd and impolite that your Support Staff signs Tickets with "Support".

Hence I asked for a name, so that I had someone to refer to. This person...

Just create a slideshow by using the Xara Slideshow widget. It's the only contemporary tool for presenting large images
on arbitrary devices which ships with Xara. If one wants to stick to native...

Kate,
this statement is wrong.

It's not just the Content Catalog which stops working as soon as one lets the rental contract run out. One also no longer may edit
existing or create new...

I agree that Xara hasn't delivered any substantial updates since 365 was released. A lot of what's been added is catalogue content, hence – mostly stuff
which simply expires in case one doesn't...

Just the inbuilt Windows Defender. My specs: Win 10 Pro, I7 6850K, GTX 1070, fast SSDs, 32GB RAM.
My impression is rather that Xara can't make effective use of available hardware.

An update, as I didn't have access to my machine when I posted.
Startup time with no document open – pretty much instantly. Things only slow down drastically and too
much for my taste, as soon as...

I see this too and I have a brand new, very powerful machine.

As stated before, I do not think that having 20 or 50 images open in a file should still matter much.

Even assuming all compressed images need to get uncompressed first and get loaded to RAM, this...

He said so before.

Hmm, I run a machine with similar or better specs (I7 6850K oc-ed, GTX 1070, 32GB RAM, fast SSDs, Win 10)
but see greatly worse loadup performance with Xara. Currently I'm away from my machine, but...

I had always thought that Xaras image compression methods where good enough, but as I recently had to
edit hundreds of large images for a cms-based online shop I had to learn, that there's greatly...

Many thanks for your great code contributions Siran – have a great Christmas time too!

Fwiw...
Krita actually is not an Image Editor but actually a powerful raster- and vector based drawing application.

It has only very basic image editing tools – for all workflows having to do...
