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

Resizing text in variants. I spend more time checking between the variants than actually making them look how I want them. I then have to 'Stop Sharing With Variants' which kind of defeats the whole idea.

Perhaps I misunderstand you but are you using 'Styles'? If so, you don't have to go back and forth.

Maybe a Selected Object Properties Panel?

Any attributes I have assigned to an object... may it be the fill, transparency,, shadow etc... easily accessed without having to go into the specific tool to change it again.

No I'm not. I am woefully ignorant of manipulating text in general and have no clue as to styles and what they are/do.

I'll do some playing/learning and start a new thread to fill in any blanks. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Boy.

In a similar tone, we'd like to know what sort of small improvements you would like to see that would help with your workflow. ...

Another, what should be a little thing that has been mentioned since the beginning of time (and though I rescanned the thread, it didn't catch my eye).

Save and restore Options & toolbars. Add to that the import/conversion of previous version's toolbars and Xara would make a lot of people happy.

The above stuff is kept already (including other options/switches). Even a small utility to do the above would be wonderful.

Hi,

When PDF are opened, saving them overwrites the PDF as a XAR, but it still with a PDF extension, it's confusing.

Also the popup when an external modification has been made on an opened PDF is annoying.
