I just downloaded and installed the latest iteration of Xara Photo and Graphic whatever the thing is called these days, just to give it a text drive.
I loaded a blank template, clicked on the Text Tool and then clicked on the document and the very first thing that happened was a pop-up. (attached)
The last thing I expected to see was a pop-up message asking me a question which mystified me and immediately killed what enthusiasm I had to use the product.
Firstly, I had no idea which rectangle the message referred to, so I was unable to decide which of the 4 options to choose.
In the end I thought the message referred to the 800x800 pixel rectangle I have used as my default template for many years. That had to be what was being referred to, but by then I'd lost interest in going any further.
Surely I'm not alone in being cheesed off with obtrusive and unneccessary multiple-choice questions even before I start doing any work.
I quit the program, never to return. I do not appreciate being confronted with nonsensical questions such as this. I didn't need to be asked this question in previous iterations of the program, so why now? Needless to say I will not be buying this puerile rubbish. I just want to create, not play these silly irrelevant juvenile games.
