Black Friday - any signs we might to buy the full HD version of Xara Designer Pro?

[handrawn]

that is not what I meant is it

xara are giving a lifetime discount of 50% to all existing non pro+ users, if they sign up to pro+ as encouragement to switch

they have no incentive to rush upgrades for the legacy [magix] programs, in fact, quite the opposite - the more sign up for pro+ the better for them, the more money they make... even with the discount

Oh goody I can not wait, I want now, yeah yeah happy days ....

What is HD?

I was of course tempted to say 'Handrawn' but I resisted the temptation

If you look at this thread,

On post #45 and my reply on post #49, there is a registry entry for HD with no value set on XDP. I asked if someone could check XDP+ and see if they have a value set. XDP may have the support for HD but it is just not enabled?

If you can wait another 4 or 5 MONTHS, I have it on good authority that "Designer Pro X hiDPI version is planned to be released aprox. in March 2021."
Why ON EARTH they are making us wait until March next year, when self-evidently the HiDPI user interface has already been written is anybody's guess. GADS!

Meanwhile, I have been compelled to start using Affinity Designer, which has more sensible defaults and does a number of much more sensible things.
e.g. A line with an arrow head terminates at the at the point of the arrow! And it's Corner Tool is a joy to behold.

However I have to say that it does have a bit of a learning curve and a pedantic feel to it.
e.g. It seems to be impossible to rotate a group of shapes without rotating the entire Art Board.
