Eyedropper issue

[thewump]

Hi All,

I'm a loooooooooooooong time Xara user just switched to Linux. I'm having a couple of issues.

1) Layers. I never used them, but having some issues with them on xar files I open from my old windows install.. No big deal.

2) The EYEdropper is doing weird things when I try to use it to pick a color. it is typically not working at all, and making the object "blue".

Any ideas? Running the latest stable build on Ubuntu.

Thanks

Keith

Hi Keith,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

The "stable" release is several months older than the 1764 build because there has been a pause in development of the Linux version until later this month. The 1764 build is very stable and I have been running it on my Debian machine since it was made available. Build 1764 also contians some bug fixes to the old stable release. I also think some features may have been added as they are working toward a version 1.0 which is to have all the features of the Windows Xara Xtreme.

Cool 1) I'll install the latest then
Cool 2) This is a responsive forum ;-)

While I'm not a coder, I'm an avid Xara user, so hope I can be of use to the forum on the more Xara functionality level.

Best

Keith

I've installed the latest version, but still get the eyedropper bug.. basically it isn't picking up the color of the pixel that it is over.

Anyone?

Keith I cannot duplicate the bug with the Debian distro 3.1r2 and Gnome 2.8.1 GUI.

I can't duplicate this either.

It is probably worth filing a bug about including the details of your environment so the developers can help debug it.
