Couple of questions

**RAMWolff44** · 21 March 2009, 09:21 PM

OK, so here's an idea then, hence my beta and idea skills.... it's obvious to me from playing around a bit this AM with the program (I'm at the salon right now writing this) that the program is built off of the Xara X code... so whats to keep having both programs opened in a tab like set up? Open up Xara X and then open up the Web app and it will sense that Xara X is open and ask if you want Web opened under the same in a tab or vice versa with the Web apps opened first. So you can then work between the two programs easier. There also should be a bridge for both apps if the Web app is not going to be expanded out any more than this to make elements created in Xara X being imported easier into the Web app. Hows that idea feel to some folks??

Because WD was created as a stand alone app for people who neither have or needed the power of Xtreme.

As Egg mentioned, there is much speculation about the next version of Xara Xtreme - we'll have to wait an see what Xara have decided is their best direction there.
Meanwhile, WD represents an extraordinary leap in WYSIWYG web page design at a price for all pockets.
The fact that it looks and feels so similar to Xtreme is a huge plus for newcomers (we all know how easy Xara apps are to learn) and a bonus for long term Xtreme users who can jump right into familiar territory.

Hi Richard - Great to see you posting again. Hope all is well with you.

In an earlier thread I had a request regarding having Xara-WD & Xtreme work together more seamlessly. You can find the thread here: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=37055

Hey Ross,

I hope the same is going well for you. I'm hanging in there. Rough winters with my immune system being what it is is not the funnest and the economy... blech!!

Thanks for the link. I appreicate it.

I do believe I mentioned in my not so original idea

that if one app were to SENSE the other being opened that it would ASK if one wanted to open it under the same in a new tab if not then it would open into it's native UI.

What's this about the future of Xara??

Hi Richard,

There has been discussion about Xtreme 5 and some people want the Web Designer features added and some people would rather the two applications remain separate.

We can only wait and see how Xara Group Ltd. decides what will be in Xtreme 5.
