CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Unable To View Thumbnails Of Images In The Scrapbook
Feb 27, 2012
I've recently installed X4 (running it on Windows 7) and for some reason when I open the scrapbook I can't preview any of the thumbnails - they just appear as a generic symbol (see below). How do I change this so that I can view the thumbnails properly?
I've also changed the settings so that once a bitmap has been inserted, I should be able to double-click to open the bitmap in Photo paint - but this doesn't work either!
in Corel Draw X4, we can use the scrapbook docker to see thumbnail of locals files, but when this files are on a network share or if this network share is mapped to local drive, thumbnails does not show up. But when I use File/Open to this network share or mapped drive, thumbnails are ok.
I also heard that in X5 scrapbook is depreciated, is there an alternative?
Just installed X6 and tried CONNECT for the first time and it doesn't display the thumbnails of the vector images only bitmaps etc.. Any way to correct that?
I have worked with CD 8,9,10 and now I am back to Home&Student X6. I would like to import a clipart but would like to select them via connector by viewing the thumbnails.
But connector shows only the CD icon. What can I do to see the thumbnails?
When I open corel draw files normally it will show the small thumbnail of the page but in one of my collegues sytem its not showing (its showing coreldraw icon).
ever SP 3 was installed I lost the ability to preview files in their folders and see thumbnails. All there is are icons for the new files. Any files that was created before the upgrade has thumbnails and can be previewed in the folders.
I recently had my computer cleaned and found that I lost photo thumbnail previews in JPEG files. Cpt&CDR files are ok..I'm in PhotopaintX4 and Corel support doesn't go back this far.
Corel Connect not showing thumbnails.I have the paid download version of CorelDraw GS X5 installed on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I found that the Corel Graphics - Windows Shell Extension only shows in the CorelDraw installer when "Custom" is selected versus "Typical," even though the shell extension shows in Control Panel. The latest twist is that Corel Connect will show photo thumbnails on the hard drive, but will not show thumbnails for photos on a CD or DVD. Other than a different file structure, a DVD or CD is read only. If I copy a photo from a DVD to the C: drive, Corel Connect will show the thumbnail on C:. Windows Explorer shows the thumbnails on the hard drive, CD, or DVD. Corel Connect will not show thumbnails of the Corel .CDR files on the hard drive, CD, or DVD in Vista but it will show them in Win XP.
Why doesn't Corel Connect display .jpg thumbnails on a DVD or CD? I think there is a bug in the Corel Graphics - Windows Shell Extension in Windows Vista.
I've been trying to get W7-64 to display X5 thumbnails. I've been trying for months. My efforts have brought me to:
Have you tried this? Have you tried that? Have you tried Mystic Thumbs? It's Microsoft's fault
The best I can do is a kluge I don't want to live with. I've been a Corel user for 20 years. Much as I am attached to the program, this makes it virtually unusable. I work with a ton of files. I need to be able to see what they are before opening them.
I'm disappointed to see this problem has been going on for a number of years. It gives me the feeling the good people who built Corel are all gone now, and pride in the product went with them.
I'd love to learn the real honest-to-goodness Corel fix is jist around the corner, but I can't even find an official Corel position on this issue. Is there one? other than
The problem does not exist The problem is the user's fault The problem is Microsoft's fault
I just upgraded from 12 to x5 and for some reason it looks like Corel has chosen to make the file default to only showing the page as the thumbnail. Whereas before the entire file was displayed in thumbnail. This would work fine as long as you only want to keep your design elements all within the page frame, but I don't know one Corel Designer that does that. (only Word and Publisher users do that because they have to)
I've been using Corel Draw and Photo-Paint for many years, on many versions of Windows, and as far as I remember, Windows Explorer has always shown a thumbnail for a .cpt file instead of the plain icon.
I've now got a Windows 7 machine (professional version 64 bit), and .cpt files show up as plain white icons, instead of thumbnails.
In Connect I see only blank thumbnails of my .cdr files. The nice thing of this program should be thati can scroll through my files and look at large thumbnail So I know what iám working on.
When I checked my computer for any any unused programs I got see this coreldraw (r) graphics suite x5 installed. When I got to uninstall it showed and error message that some sort of setup.xml is missing. When I checked this programs folder I got to see that there are two corel folders [Corel and Corel (2) ] in my C: drive. After checking all the file locations of different corel applications I deleted the Corel (2) foder. After that also corel was not being uninstalled. I don't want to re-format my computer only for this
I have followed the instructions carefully and am unable to fill anything.
I make a rectangle. Choose the colour from the palette, drag the little coloured box over to the rectangle and release. Nothing. Many years ago I used my brothers Corel draw, so I know ( or knew then ) how to colour a rectangle.
I'm not able to assign a Hotkey to enable me to use Corel Capture. No matter what I use, it tells me that the Hotkey is already being used by this system. I have deleted Hotkeys and then then tried to reassign them to no avail.
I now have a mac and I have corel 11 loaded on to it - how can i view the clipart? - is there a program available to do this. I know that there used to be a scrapbook docker - but that seems to have gone in this version!
Using CorelDraw X6 on Windows 8 x64, and a Kensington Expert Mouse (that's a type of trackball).
For some reason, I can't use the wheel to zoom in or out. Just doesn't work. The drivers are installed, and the wheel works fine in all other applications, but absolutely refuses to cooperate in CorelDraw X6.2 (had this issue since CorelDraw 6).
I have Corel Draw 12 on one computer and Corel 5 on my lap top - After following the simple video instructions to place a background image ( imported photo - jpg or tiff) into a set text the message box ...The object you selected is invalid - do you wish to try again pops up.
I am a long time user of Corel products (well, since Corel 4). I have been running Corel 12 for several years, as financially, as a pensioner it is not viable to keep up grading and 12 has been perfectly adequate. I am on Windows 7 Home premium, and I know that 12 was not designed for that platform, however it has been operation satisfactorily since 7 came out. Today, It has crashed, and I am unable to open photopaint at all either from the shortcut or the program list.
(Corel Draw, which is the only other part of the suite I use) appears to open and be available. I tried to repair with the original disk to no avail, so that having failed I did an uninstall, cleared the caches the temporary files and did a clean install. Corel Draw is still working, but Paint will not open at all. The logo appears then totally disappears after a few seconds leaving the desktop clear. There has been no changes to the computer recently and until last night the program was working fine.
I have used the X6 graphics suite for some time now and have always installed updates when notified. A couple of days ago I was notified of the latest update which I duly installed.
Thereafter I was unable to open Coreldraw. I was unable to resolve the issue by reverting to a previous versions from as few days previous. I have done this by using the usual windows uninstall facility.
However, when I try to reinstall the X6 suite from the CD I get an error message that says "A newer version of this program is installed. Delete this first before you install this version" (or words to that effect).
Clearly there is something that indicates a later version is installed but I cant find out why I am getting this message. I have endeavoured to delete everything I find associated with X6 but after rebooting I still can't reinstall the software.
After successfully using Corel Draw for some years, I am suddenly unable to print files. Instead of the file, my printers just print a black page. I have tried re-installing but it has not worked.
When I am printing my design, the black is not printing. Have tried on two printers, neither are faulty. Wondered if I accidentally have it on a setting that doesn't allow it to print black.
I have one logo designed in Corel draw X5 and sent the file to the printer company ,they have corel draw12 on their PC and they are not able to open the design as it come as a blank page in corel draw12 .. how to open the same in corel draw 12..
I have a problem with printing in X5. All the documents I've worked in X4when I print the X5 have a problem with the colors, they are not the same with X4.
