Xara Designer Pro Survey

[Egg Bramhill]

I restarted Xara Designer Pro X this afternoon and was greeted with a choice to do a 5 minute survey. So Magix/Xara at least are using a new approach to it's customers. It's not overly long either.

Yes I filled it out..

[haakoo]

Sorry to hear that.

[gwpriester]

I took the opportunity. Not often do I get to do this.

[handrawn]

hummm.. I wonder if this is a version 15 only thing...

[gwpriester]

They ask you to identify which product you are using.

I completed it too.

It's a shame that the survey was done so poorly that the 3 important features to add for the next version are going to be from a list of 6 incredibly inconsequential items that I wouldn't care if I never saw, and XARA are going to say "but you voted for them". Really ... You think anyone using Xara even semi-professional is going to want "New text functions, e.g. for name badges, cards & invitations" ...

Are these really the six best additions they can come up with ... again, I think that they are losing the plot. People have been asking for new updated vector tools for 10 years ... and this is what we get to pick from.



Once again, I don't want and I don't believe that professional designers EVER work from templates. This is definitely fast becoming hobbyist software. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in my opinion it WAS professional software.
