Script Error when going Help > Check for Updates in Designer Pro 20 perpetual

[Promidi]

I would not say that it's been a complete waste of money. For instance, I do use the new table function in DP20 quite a lot. I prefer DP20’s tables than DPX19’s tables.

Also, no nag dialogue when the (now non existent) update service expires. With 19, I had to add a firewall rule to stop it (after figuring out which IP to block DPX19 from accessing).

Note: I never really made use of any of the templates from earlier versions, and yes, I do use the clip art from earlier versions that I wanted.

I guess with Xara DP20 (or any software really) YMWV

I see that buying Designer Pro 20 perpetual is a waste of money and extra worries. Gold version 19.

I was going to jump in earlier as I bailed out before v19 emerged. From memory, the v19 offering and "update" was dire. I said more than once the loss of Magix's fetters was worth the move to a pure Xara delivery, particularly on the support side.

What has not been forthcoming is any engagement with Xara over v20 bug releases. Even if we knew there was a yearly cycle then I would choose that over any Magix offering.

For v20 Perpetual benefits, please add into https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...tual)-worth-it.
For its disbenefits, do raise a new Thread or Xara may never notice.
