XPro - Suggestion for next release

[jclements]

Be able to right-click on white space of a page and have the context sensitive menu include the options to insert new, copy, or delete the page.

Fix Xtreme Pro's swf export so I can export a bitmap along with drawn shapes as a swf and then import the swf into Flash 8. I should get the bitmap and the drawn shapes appearing on a layer in Flash exactly as they were in Xara.

Xara X does it faultlessly whereas Xtreme Pro wont export the bitmap. It will export the vector shapes as swfs ok, but only if the bitmap is deselected. Unfortunately, this is nowadays my main use of Xara so Ive reinstalled Xara X.

Be great if this was fixed in X Pro. Another thing... allow me a way to set export to swf dpi as 72 (since that's Flash's default).

If you have a multi-page document and you want to export the individual pages as a JPG, Tif, PNG, etc., then have a PageS option in the dialog so that all pages can be exported at once rather than one at a time.

Have an Option setting for Exporting Functions which would automatically drop in the file name (less the .xar extension) in the Export Dialog's filename entry box.

The user could then add to or delete from that name.

More suggestions:

1. Change default option "Transparent" from PNG Bitmap Export dialog: Choose "not checked" as default, instead of "checked".
2. Save last export options within the Windows registry and set them after a restart of Xara Xtreme.

Same with the "Create Bitmap" option.

Oh yes please!

It's changed in Xara Xtreme 4. Thank you, Xara team.

Q

Do a search for "scaling factorSee units"... in the help

Set one side for 96 the other for 72... if that doesn't work reverse it 72 and 96...

My greatest desire for a new feature would be the ability to create the files that Xara uses in WebStyle. This is a really versatile program, but I've already used up all the themes and buttons I really like. I have heard that Xara uses a proprietary program to create these buttons, etc., so there shouldn't be any copyright issues.

I agree with Will about the ability to create Webstyle and Menu Maker templates.

I remember Kate Moir posting that there are many steps to creating the templates. I believe at least one of those required the ability to attach attributes (properties) to the objects that make up the template.
