Misleading Magix Marketing

[Rob-Xar]

How so? Marketing departments do not advertise what their products can't do, and everything in the noticeboard is possible.

Rob, sorry I didn't intend this to be a major tiff; I was trying to point out that drumming Xara Cloud into Xara Desktop application users while there are functional gaps is nothing more than irritating.

misleading: 'giving the wrong idea or impression'

the notice does this, because there will be files that you will not be able to edit and this is not mentioned

you cannot argue that because marketing does this sort of thing all the time by omission, that somehow that makes it not what it actually is

[handrawn]

irritating is a mild way of putting it

Months ago, I tested Xara Online and found it really nice
although if we compare its features with desktop software
certainly feels limited... but maybe, just maybe, these
limitations are web browser limitations.

For example, in html files, layers could be implemented
as DIVs but within svg files, layers are implemented as
groups.

If my guess is correct, Xara Online will implement more
and more functionality as javascript code, so Xara Desktop
application would benefit from having (finally) a
user friendly programming language at its core.
