Xara Xtreme Pro announced

[Availor]

The price you quoted is the full price. Don't you qualify for the $120 upgrade for current Xtreme owners?

Indeed, but if you calculate the whole price then you'll get even more price.
Don't forget that you've already paid the previous price of Xara X and Xara Xtreme.

Xara Xtreme pro, with plug-ins (to compare it to Adobe Illustrator) will cost about 400$. The calcualtion is:

150$ worth plug ins (which I did not buy but I did insert that in the calculation because AI has filters), and the original Xara Xtreme Pro.

Paul: Yes I know nobody twists my arm to buy the product, but it's a general feeling. You and me we both know that I want it, like a toy I must have. I won't feel happy enough if I dont have the latest version of my favorite app. You probably know the feeling. I was complaining because the whole Xara (Xtreme or X) costs less than 80$, and the difference between Xara Pro and the inital products costs 120$. So if you use simple math: 1 product for 80$, or an upgrade for 120$. Doesn't sound fair enough for me, sorry.
I don't feel the upgrades are 120$ worth of paying. It's not a totally different

I will probably buy it eventually, but I will still feel it's too much. That's the nasty feeling I get when a product I like is becoming more expensive only because they know that people will buy it anyway.

Just my personal thought.

Wow! Intbel , I think the file you posted here might be inappropriate , dont you think? This is a family type place , maybe you need to remove the file.

I saved the executable to my hard disk and then ran it. It worked fine that way.

Availor,
you will just have to get your priorites straight. Do you want to take girls out on dates or have your new copy of Xtreme Pro ?
It's either that or work more hours. I think that is a fair price for this program.

Hi Wolfgang,

The attached is a list of the import options, but being a Beta they may add others before the final release.

Hi Bill,

fast and helpful as ever ...

First off, I don't see PDF on you list. But my eyes are not the best anymore ;-)
Second, .eps as an option is already found in current versions as well. Only it does not, or very rarely work.

I try to attach an .eps an a .pdf. Could you please try opening it with Pro and tell me if it worked ??

Thanks
Wolfgang

P.S.: I enclose these files (two logos) for the sake of testing. Please don't use them otherwise.

Sorry to report that Xara Xtreme Pro was unable to open either of those files.

The EPS file reported that it is a renderable eps file and not designed to be edited in Xara Xtreme Pro.

The pdf file reported no filters for that type of file were found.

EDIT: The EPS file can be opened with Xtreme PRO Select the Adobe Illustrator 8.0 import filter manually. Relying on the All Files to auto select the correct filter did not work.

I got the eps opened in Xara... at least partially. It opened two words "wellness systeme" and that's all. No idea what the entire file consisted of. The PDF would not open.

Wolfgang, using the Adobe Illustrator 8.0 (ai, eps) filter I can open your EPS file.

Hey Wolfgang - I managed to open that in Xtreme with no problem, so Pro should do it I would hope. It must be a particularly friendly EPS

[gracehjs]

That is what I did. But when I click on the .exe.file all I get is a flash and then nothing. I thought maybe my hard drive was getting too full, but I cleaned it up and still no luck :-(

Grace,

Are you sure you haven't got Xtreme open? In fact it's best to ensure no programs are running. Delete your last download & try a new download.
