    Lightbulb Single Document Interface

    Dear Xara...

    Will you consider the means to allow your Xara Desktop applications to use a Single Document Interface (SDI) so that Variants can be opened in separate windows to allow better use of the Page and Layer gallery and to restore the simpler graphical manipulation of objects, instead of menu actions?

    For example, a designer would be more productive if they could Ctrl+Drag into another variant.

    Essentially, if a user was able to tear off a tab into a daughter window or allow more than one instance of the Xara Desktop application could be running at the same time.

    Open Chrome with more than one tab open. Click the tab part at the top and drag from the tabs line.
    Release this tear-off and it makes a fresh Chrome page with all the same controls and furniture as the original. Merging back separate windows into a tabbed collection is the converse.
    Equally Microsoft allow multiple documents open, all with their own Ribbon.

    You cannot do this with the Xara Desktop applications.
    If you are doing serious changes across multiple files then Xara has a bottleneck.
