VectorStyler

Thanks for sharing about VectorStyler.
VectorStyler has almost all the vector functions that are not available in Xara.
I will definitely give it a try but still, nothing can replace Xara in my view.

With some limited testing this 'beta' (v1.0.0.24 RC1) is a long way off production; almost anything special I try locks or hums.

Not here. Maybe your hardware is to low.

Nope ernie, if it needs more than i7-5930K 3.5GHz, 32MB then VS is not up to it.
Things I do in Xara quickly cause all sorts of ructions in VS.

i tthink the point was you can do things you can't do in xara, in vectorstyler... if you can do them in xara, then you would wouldn't you....

Simply to test performance. As VS was acting up, I checked how fast Xara worked, that's all. Compare and contrast.
I would love VS to process the things that Xara doesn't but not at the expense of a tetchy application.

I'm sure it will improve and I await its cost.

I find it is a bit laggy sometimes, but nothing unexpected - maybe you expect too much, comparing a beta work in progress with a long established product... or there again, maybe you state the obvious, for how could it not be so, so early in the developmemt
stage ?

According to a review from last year (https://www.techpcvipers.com/vectors...in-the-market/): "The Vectorstyler beta version is 100% free to download but out of beta version you have to pay 99 USD to purchase a single license that will come with a free for a year. The pros of using this designing software is you don’t have to pay anything for subscription."

I'm not sure how to interpret it, as the author indicates that there is a yearly aspect to the pricing and then that there is no subscription.
