David - if you haven't already done so you may like to read this thread:

and post #56 here:

Yes, we are discussing this and other improvements not the first time. Instead, we are discussing them over and over, here. So, morphonius_821 please don't definitely expect a change with such details.

Yeah...well thanks for the heads up...
Add my voice to the chorus i guess...

Just by the way is there any list anywhere where, where xara discusses/lists functions and fixes they are developing and implementing for the next version or intend on developing etc...
or is that stuff kept under wraps for security reasons etc... between release dates for subsequent updates?

It would be really interesting to see just how much updating takes place and how big a splash the changes that are made make when a new release is rolled out...(I'm too new to get a handle on how big a step an upgrade/new version is.)
But in so far as other software goes, one in particular that i use daily for my embroidery digitizing, these are always grossly underwhelming.

Often there is a laundry list of things they say are fixed and updated and then when you take a look its all fluff and the app is not any easier to use or more powerful... money frittered away in my view.
Id much rather they concentrate on one function and really kill it rather than spray the sparse drops of their R&D budgets like insignificant drops all over the app trying to please every one yet achieving fundamentally nothing.
Heres hoping Xara is more progressive.
Personally if some of the more simple stuff we are requesting are not fixed in the next update i will be a little shocked.
For example if there is still no shortcut for the color picker in the next version then i will be starting to think that no real evolution is taking place at Xara and will continue to use it but will be waiting to see if inkscape or somebody else comes to the fore, i have to see evolution taking place at a fundamental level or else the app will ultimately die.

Xara seems to have quite a sturdy core (by the look of a laymen) so im kinda hoping thats some great stuff (like some of the things i and others have been suggesting) can be achieved without adverse impact on Xara's core.

Alot of my suggestions are fundamentally UI improvements (not that that makes anything easy) but i hold out high hopes for Xara's development...
How quickly do the wheels turn?

Remi: you sound like you have given up waiting for your requests to be implemented?

[remi]

Xara's latest development steps was more to please the hobbiest market, because they see this market as their chance to earn money. Some of us are waiting for new vector tools as seen in other vector editors since years. Xara isn't talking about their next steps, so you will see no such list. Take your time and study other posts and you will be surprised how often you're able to find some great ideas in this threads. But only Charles Moir can tell you, whenever they will find the time to develop the tons of improvements on their list.

Some of them were implemented, some not. I will wait some few years, until I see the others implemented.

earnestly: There are tons of other great feature requests posted at TG. I wouldn't think that my ideas are the most important ones.

In the end, Xara Xtreme is a neat tool, but it's just a tool. From time to time I use other tools, in order to benefit from their features.

David there are many 'wish list' threads as Remi mentioned. They only indicate those posted here. Xara Ltd has their own in house wish list which is the actual working list.

We can only assume that some or all of the member's wish list items are included on the Master List.

Your posts have no more weight than any of the many others made over the past 10+ years.

May I remind you that these are not debating forums and not a place to attempt to out post others with your ideas. I suggest you find and read all the other wish lists so you are not repeating what others have already post in the past.

A search for wish list returned 500 threads http://www.talkgraphics.com/search.p...=1214465&pp=25

That doesn't include threads where feature requests were made without anyone mentioning wish list so other searches may also be required to locate all the relevant posts. There are currently 113,581 posts in the Xtreme forum.

[morphonius_821]

Yeah well id love to see that master list or priorities for the next few versions as like everyone who is holding out for their own 3 or 4 key improvements (among many other lesser ones) it would be nice to know if my own top few were realistically in contention...
One way or another it would put me out of my "misery" I guess.
Perhaps I should sit down and have a cappuccino with Charles Moir.

Further to that:
I think a really cool idea for this forum would be to gather every single tread or post that suggests a change of any kind and organize them in some kind of tree structure of categorization.
Wouldn't that be cool.
That way you go into various categories and hone in on a particular area of inquiry and see how many like minded individuals have thought similar things or not.
Not only would it go a good way towards solving the repeated request syndrome but it would also shine allot more light no exactly what Xara users are wanting.

[Soquili]

Probably wouldn't do any good David. Charles keeps that list pretty well to himself. Just as information about future releases isn't available until it is ready to go out the door.

that is what this forum is supposed to be a first step towards -but it keeps getting bogged down with self justification and chat

apologies in advance if I get into trouble for saying this [again]
