How to reset image 'handles' to older, simpler version?

[gwpriester]

If you're using Designer Pro + not that I know of.

In Designer Pro X click on the Show Selection Bounds Handles.

One of the things that has always appealed to me from the time I first started using Xara in the middle 90s was the simplicity of the UI and tools.

But over the years Xara has become less simple. Things reached the pinnacle of usefulness (IMO) when the inside of the bounding box handles resized, and the outside of the handles you could skew and on the corners rotate.

It is not so much the extra functions that I mind now as the fact the extra options often cover up the object I am trying to modify.
