Xara Xone Fadding Away

[gwpriester]

I was thinking last night, what exactly IS Magix doing?

Kate Moir and others at Xara used to send out the Xara Outsider once a month that was always fun to read, had tips and tricks, images created by Xara users, and updates on Xara products. There was a Xara presence on Facebook with frequent posts on new products and links to what was going on here at TalkGraphics. A lady from Magix was going to be involved on TG to help with tech support. I think the only post I read was her introductory post.

Since Magix took over "marketing and support", there has been nothing.

xara is but one small section of a large magix product line...I guess, like xara themselves, they prioritise resource allocation...

I don't know what is going on with Magix. They seem to be slipping badly or someone has lost interest. They have not come out with a new article in the Magix Magazine since July of last year.

With our support they will definitely go on vacation, or are still there.

The ball has been dropped several times since Magix was first involved.
Since then, the ball has been lost under a piece of furniture somwehere, gathering dust.
Matt Boulton (CEO of this parish) has made a couple of fleeting forays onto TG and has subsequently disappeared without trace.
If it weren't for Acorn harrying politely, and intelligent responses from Rob-Xar, there would be no other activity here on TG other than bemused new users asking why Xara is so difficult to use.
The few new features we have had over quite a few years now, have done nothing to improve the vector tools. I have to ask, 'What is Xara for these days?'

I have two links on my Chrome bookmark bar one for Gary P's Xara Xone and one Gary Bouton's Xara Xone between the two of them there is so much great info

Gary (Preister) has already provided the link to his Xara Xone and here for anyone who would like it is the link to Gary Bouton's Xara Xone http://site.xaraxone.com/tutorials/

Unfortunately the Gary Boutons site you listed is the one that is having items like figures and downloads no longer working. I thought this site was the one that Magic took over?
