XaReg 2 Released

[steve.ledger]

In honour of our lost friend, Bill Taylor (soquili) we present to the Takgraphics community XaReg 2 - a continuation of the Xara Registry Tweaking utility created by Bill, with help from John Horn (who wrote XetupX for tweaking CorelXara, XaraX, XaraX1 and which inspired XaReg) and myself.

XaReg 2 continues the tradition of making many features of Xara Designer, Web Designer and Photo&Graphic Designer easily tweakable without having to enter the minefield of the Windows Registry.

We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improving XaReg 2, so please post them!

Enjoy

Thanks to both of you

My Avast av sandboxed it [paranoid programs ... pshaw!]. To unsandbox it if you don't know:-

Security >> Tools >> Sandbox >> Settings >> Exclusions

I put XaReg2 in the folder where I keep my Xara stuff and excluded that.

Thanks for making this happen!

It would have been nice to know before I started on a replacement project. My only incentive was NOT to lose what Bill had started. Is this one going to be open source?

Bravo sledger. Thanks.

It would have been nice to know before I started on a replacement project.

Have you ever asked the only remaining developer if XaReg is discontinued before you started a replacement project?

My only incentive was NOT to lose what Bill had started.

Have you ever proposed your help to continue XaReg? What Bill had started is now XaReg2. What will you do NOT to lose it?

Is this one going to be open source?

No. There are other ways to make sure it will survive.

Thanks a lot for continuing developing this great app John & Steve, an ongoing memory of Bill.

A big thank you to all involved.

Why was this developed in secret while there was a public and well-intentioned effort being set up by the community at large to replace XaReg?

Seems a bit unfriendly.
