Hi Garry,
+1 for all You sugest and all the features Xara promise us the last five years and never has complied.

I too would like to see the bitmap tracer updated - and hopefully working ...

Re: What existing features and tools would you want updated?
Posted in another thread in Dear Xara, as yet unresolved and unloved by those who should be in a position to repond,
I repost it here because of its relevance...
"When using either the Bevel or 3D Tools, the result contains raster elements, as shown in the attached graphic.
The area concerned in this instance, is where the yellow section meets the brown area.
The whole brown area appears to be raster rather than vector.
I think this glitch has been posted before, possibly even by myself.
But in case it is my faulty memory and hasn't been requested before, could this pleased be addressed?"
Illustrator's 3D and Bevel Tool produce vector 3D files, but Affinity Designer and Xara Designer Pro do not.
I am only guessing, but Corel Draw would, but I don't have it installed at present.
Bitmap output of 3D artwork belongs in the Stone Age. If Magix/Xara want to be a major player in the Design World they should update and improve their 3D and Bevel tools accordingly.

...and don't get me started on the Heath Robinson-esque nature of the Open Type nonsense that passes for an advanced Text Tool in Xara. It was probably conceived on the back of a cigarette packet, and it is already as outdated as that aforesaid medium for the conveyance of ideas.
Come on Magix/Xara, this is probably the Last Chance Saloon for restoring credibility to the company before its few-remaining users (8?) disown it altogether.

The import export filters could really use some organizing.
