How stable is XaraXtreme in Wine?

[kentaur]

Hi.

I just installed XaraXtreme with wine on Kubuntu 9.04. It seems to be working just fine!

Are there any stability issues? I would hate to work on something and lose it because of a crash or something.

Currently I use XaraXtreme in Windows XP with Virtualbox on the same PC (Kubuntu 9.04) but I would apreciate it if I could do without the overhead of a virtualmachine.

 Welcome to LGU kentaur

 As for Xara Extreme running under Wine, I could not comment as I have never done it... nice to know it works well though, I hope you will contact the people at Wine to let them know.
 I am not one, known for running anything under a virtual environment but I imagine someone around here could be of better information on that end.
 My only suggestion as far as losing any work, due to a crash is to back-up the work as you go in steps. I do this when I am working on anything so intricate that it is slowing down XaraLX natively. That way, if it does crash, I can go right back to the last saved work and think of another way to execute the next step without crashing the program.
 It takes time to learn a programs limits, especially under a virtual environment, where there are so many variables which can effect it's response.

Just tried the Xara demo in Wine (again...) still have the same issue as always, cant see the handles around objects. Also get error messages at startup.

I have run the demo in virtualbox and it works pretty good...need fast cpu though, dualcore atleast.
