Re: Bouton's Wish List for Group Participation on v 11
please define 'doable' I have no idea what is and isn't - do you? - can you tell us? - or we just going to have to guess, those of us [most of us] who know nothing about the coding and the modularity of the program...
xara is supposed to be a program for designing things - I design things top down, line art and then as many layers below as are necessary, I am sick and fed up with new layers being at the top of the stack and having to drag them down time after time after time after time after time - so an option to put new layers above/below the current, to me that's doable, easy, a programmer should be able to do it with eyes closed and one arm behind their back - but I bet it's not, or it would have been done by now
and nested layers - there is a reason most every other program has them, for example when you design alternatives that need to be switched in and out with one click - xara groups are no good, cannot edit within a group and see the rest of the drawing in situ at the same time as you edit, dumb, so setting them up is making a rod for the back when trying to match colour changes and anything else that needs to be in sync inside/outside of the group
I am not trying to be negative; I am resisting the cynic in me that hears "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"; I know Xara cannot please everyone and would be silly to try..
but a definition of 'doable' please - do you have one?
