Update All v10 products: 10.1.2.35097

[handrawn]

well it's the 'fix it or die' thing isn't it that Kate mentioned ... Xara just had to get responsive web building covered or the product was dead.. and this is part of that 'rush' ... in due course it will be an option I hope, maybe as Frances suggested, a toggle button or a setting in options;

hopefully they won't just leave it as a registry fix

Egg have you tried stretching it out horizontally as well - the handles move and width dimension changes but the actual photo doesn't resize at all. It's like resizing an invisible frame or clipping shape instead of the actual photo.

Here's another weird example: Create a rectangle and group it with a smaller photo positioned on top of it. Now use the right horizontal handle to make the group longer/wider. Instead of the photo stretching in the group or perhaps moving to the right with the rectangle it starts to get cropped and eventually disappears.

I have it on good authority that when the updated version of XaReg comes out, there will be an option to disable this behavior. Three cheers for XaReg!

it is fine Eric if you want it one way or the other all/most of the time [and in this instance that may well be true] - but it should not be necessary these things should be in the options, which is not to decry the effort that goes into XaReg, but you need to leave the program and then reload it, no fun to do repeatedly

I don't disagree with you at all. I would have liked to see a toggle in the options menu. However for folks like you and I who, 1) don't really do much web work and 2) know how to avoid squashing text on the rare occasion when we do resize a web document footer, having the behavior disabled with XaReg will be a huge relief/time saver. I haven't given up hope that Xara will add something to the options menu. Over at XU I posted some additional buggy behavior after the patch came out. Perhaps when Xara fix the bug(s) they can add the option item as well.

Perhaps this oddity was a necessity due to adding variants. It certainly isn't a big deal to hit ALT while re-sizing horizontally. Counter-intuitive? Yes. I suspect we can expect a great deal of "what the hell?" posts on this issue. Perhaps a sticky in the forum will help.

You know...even the simple change of this being the default behavior on only web documents would be an improvement. Even then, I would still like the ability to turn this behavior off. Just my $.02.

Okay, here's even more strange behaviour.

I know what Xara are trying to do but please don't break everything else in the process

I really really hate that when anyone changes the way something that has worked forever.

I'm sorry Xara, but start over. This is just not acceptable.
