What small workflow improvements would you like to see in the future?

ok - it probably dosn't, but goes automatically through keystrokes... I'll look at that, thanks again....

Hi Steve,

The dialog appears but you don't have press a thing
It's pretty crude but gets the job done.

Pressing "control shift alt c" triggers the script.

One thing to note is that my "create bitmap copy" command shortcut is set to "shift control C" I don't know if it's the default shortkey.
You can adjust the script to fit your keys.

The first entry makes the script context sensitive to work only in Xara.

Saves text fike as .ahk to make it work with autohotkey

#IfWinActive, ahk_class XTPMainFrame

;Replace with Bitmap

send,{Shift down}{Control down}{c}{Control up}{Shift up}
sleep, 1000
send,{Shift down}{enter}{Shift up}
send,{Control down}{x}{Control up}
send,{Control down}{z}{Control up}
send,{Control down}{z}{Control up}
send,{delete}
send,{Shift down}{Control down}{v}{Control up}{Shift up}

looks good - crude is in the eye of the beholder if it works, which I am sure it does - would need two versions, one for TC and one for TC+ALPHA, assuming you can tab through [resolution I could fix in the registry as most of my stuff is the same: 600dpi + some legacy 300dpi]

[MarcT]

two versions, one for TC and one for TC+ALPHA

Yeah, that's a bit more complicated but not impossible as you have to trigger some flyout menus.

I always create bitmaps with alpha when inside the project, it's only when I export that I use true color when needed.

bitmap tracing works best, in xara, without alpha [makes little or no difference in inkscape/illy]

I beg you. The coding on this is easy as pie for you guys. When viewing in the browser, let us choose which browser opens up and not the (Xara Designer Pro X - Internet Explorer Preview) Internet Explorer is no longer supported, chrome is the most used browser, plus if you give users the option of choosing their own browser in the settings this would help us all. Tired of closing additional windows.

There's no need to double post. Rob reads all.

Please think ecologically.

The push tool needs to be set once and continues for all items. If not for horizontal spacing but definitely for the vertical part. Having to do this for every element is a pain. Right now I am not using it anymore.

Making custom bullets and using the bullet feature to apply to all lines of text.

XDPX16 already has this:

Graphical Bullets and Numbered Lists
You can use any graphic or symbol for the bullet or number in a list. You can design your
own bullets and numbered lists by using any of the normal drawing or text tools, or use
one of the many bullet designs from the Online Content Catalog. Create a simple circle
using the ELLIPSE TOOL for example, give it a fill and copy it to the clipboard. Then
highlight the list you want to apply the style to using the TEXT TOOL. Right click the list
and choose PASTE AS LIST BULLET from the menu. The design will now appear as a bullet
for each of the list items.
