CorelDRAW X6 :: Won't Release Memory After Files Are Closed
Apr 5, 2013
The memory the program is using balloons over time because it does not release memory after you close files. In the course of a day, the memory the program uses gets into the 8-10 GB range (we have very large files such as vehicle wraps and large full color signage). The program will start and occupy under 100mb of memory and then when you open a file it will allocate the memory for that file (say 1 GB). Then when you close that file, the memory isn't released or even re-addressed (it just seems to be in limbo at that point). So after 2 dozen or so files the memory the app is taking up gets into the multi-gigabyte range....even without a single file open (the app is running with no open documents).
Now the system I am running has 12GB of ram, so I am not running out of memory yet, but it is still quite alarming to look and see only 2 GB of ram free on a 12GB system with no open files...
I cannot imagine why the programmers wouldn't have the app release the memory it's using. That seems like really sloppy coding to me. (programming 101: when your app is done with memory, release it.).
The system configuration is as follows:
Core i7 980X 3.33Ghz (6 physical cores with hyperthreading), 12 GB RAM, 4-way RAID-0 SSD HDD array, Windows 7 64-bit, Corel Suite x6 (updated to 6.3).

I am using corel x3 a long time but never, never had this kind of problem. When i work in corel enviorenment after i have finished my work i go to save my work. But then is the problem It Saves the file with Large Memory on it. let's say if the file normally would be 200 K, now it saves with 3 MB. And if i import some other files in my work then the saved file will be even bigger. If i Delete the files that were imported The Saved File will be Again the same SIZE ! Even if a take one part of the file, let's say if i import only one small text and put it in another file and save it like that, the saved file will be 2 MB. I had a lots of problems, i had saved files on this way with 23-24 MB and when i open them it takes like forever. When you look that file in corel it has nohing in it, absolutely nothing that should be 24 MB. But all of my important work is in that files how to make all things back to normal again,

When I close a large document Photoshop does not release the memory. If I open another document the program is slow and not resposive. If I close out of Photoshop and restart it then load the other document it is quick and responsive again.

Since there was a leaking condenstor at my motherboard, I had to buy a new PC. I bought a dual core machine, 4 Gb RAM, running under XP.I re-installed CS2. Problem is that CS2 is slowing down now when I am retouching a whole map of pictures.
As far as I can analyse (Windows Task Manager), I conclude dat while retouching dozens of RAW-images of a map one after the other, I see in Windows Task Manager that CS2 uses more than 500.000 Kb, meaning that CS2 keeps my images stacked in memory, even after being closed in CS2 ! Only when quit (and restart) CS2, the memory is cleared.
Although this is only 1/8 of my total RAM, it causes an annoying lag while handling new files in Windows. It can't be meant that I have to close CS2 periodically, besides, I didn't have the problem on my old PC.
My PC-supplier concluded that the problem would be caused by Photoshop settings after re-installing, because other programs worked fast engough.This would point at Preference settings in CS2. However I can't find which and how. Does anyone of you know how to solve my problem?

I am having an issue with 2014 not releasing memory when assemblies are closed.
After a dozen saves the saving process is noticeably slower and a task will appear on the application bar (image 1). During the save all 4 cores will be at 100% (image 2). Eventually IV will have eaten 8 of my 12 gigs of ram and windows will inform me to "save open files and close application" due to insufficient ram. At this point I save (albeit slowly), close all open assemblies, and the allocated ram decreases by ~5%. Then restart IV to begin digging the hole again.
Edit: The assembly is large but not giant; 300 unique parts, 2000 components.
My coworker does not appear to have this issue. We are using identical application options and I do not have 'Quick File Open' enabled (App Options/File).
Running Win 7 (x64) and Build 170, Release: 2014RTM.

From time to time when saving a file the file gets corrupted. When trying to open the file, only a blank page is visible. Trying to open the file as zip says "error in packed file..." This happens several times a day (we are 5 users and this happens to everyone).
The out of memory issue is also a huge problem for us. This happens several times a day, often during printing.
Are Corel taking these issues seriously or don't you care about professional users which are dependent on reliable tools?

I do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.
I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.
What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.
To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem.
Where from comes this memory usage difference?
My PC:
Windows 7 - 32bit
4GB of RAM
Intel Core2Duo 2 x 3.0GHz
700GB free space on drive C:

I recently purchased CorelDraw x5. There used to be means to treat closed curves as not filled. But I can't find the means. I think in x4 I simply checked an item in a dialogue box.
At present if you click inside a closed curve [e.g. a rectangle] the curve is selected. That makes selecting items inside the curve separately. Which is a real pain, since I use a rectangle as a figure frame.

I have used PEDIT to join multiple polylines, which now appear as polylines. But when I use QSELECT to show all open (non-closed) section, one polyline still shows up as open.
I've attached the file I'm working on. The polyline in question is the green outline on the object on the right.

How does X5 really handle memory? I have 2 GB RAM and with a clean boot I have 1.5 GB physical memory free. But, when I open X5 and a 330 MB CDR file, the remaining physical memory shows 1 GB while it additionally uses 750 MB of VM on the hard disk.
It doesn't sound very clever to me because I wait and watch my hard drive led blinking at 225 BPM : What should I do to force X5 use the available RAM prior to hard disk? (XP x64sp2)

Been running X6 for a month now. Updated to 6.1.
Things have been fine until I updated to 6.2.
I will create artwork in Corel Draw, save it and then export some elements out to another format.
Then I try to close the drawing and exit.
CANNOT DO EITHER.
I get an error that says 'Some of the documents could not be closed because some tasks..background. See status bar for....'
What the heck is going on here? I cannot close the file. I cannot exit the program. The only way to get out of Corel Draw is to end the program through Task Manager.
This update is bad news. I don't know how to go back to 6.1.

I had 8 psd files open, all with many layers and wanted to make a copy of each one, change resolution to 72 and save as a jpeg. I accidentlly hit the wrong action and all the psd files were flattened, changed to 72 res and closed. Is there anyway to retrieve a previous save to get back the layered files?

I am trying to import a complex curve from autocad lt (in my case an airfoil), to create parts. I have drawn the curve in autocad lt as a polyline. Autocad lt treats the curve as a single object, and seems to understand it as a closed loop.
When I import the curve into Inventor lt, Inventor treats the curve as a series of unconnected line segments. What can I do in either Autocad lt or Inventor lt to get Inventor to treat the curve as a single object, so that I can then extrude it?

I know I can wrap text around an object with the properties docker, but I don't know how to wrap it inside a closed shape (not a box).
How can I put text inside a circle, for example? In other words, How to put text inside a curved container?

X5 remaining in memory after being closed by pressing the x in the top right-hand corner of the application window?
Opening and closing Draw was giving me several instances running in memory. I had to kill them all using Task manger. It doesn't always happen so I haven't been able to pin down a reason. I'm using version 15.02.661.

How do you color the outline of a closed object in different colors in Draw . I have a green triangle which is part of a witches hat....... I have colored the outline in the same green as the fill but I would like to keep the bottom line (curved) black to define it against the hat brim. Is there a way to keep this line black when I make the others green......otherwise I have to draw it in again.

brushstrokes.png
I've noticed that sometimes when I use an artistic media brush around a closed path, I can't change the brushstroke color without filling the path with that color; see the attached file for an example. I thought that was just unfortunately the way it was.But today I watched Jeff Harrison's video tutorial [URL]...about making a custom brush. He applies it to a closed path, and then, to my surprise, he changes the color and it just changes the color of the brushstroke.
I followed the tutorial, made the brush, applied it to a rounded rectangle, all fine. However, when I changed the color, the center of the rectangle filled with the color as well as changing the brush color, as it always has for me in the past. So what's wrong? Do I have some setting somewhere set to the wrong thing? (I don't have Fill Open Curves checked.)

I am having trouble with hyperlinks in a CorelDraw X5 document. Every time I close the file, then re-open it, I find that the hyperlinks have changed. This seems like a bug to me, but if not, how to lock them so that this doesn't happen?

I'm always fighting memory problems with Photoshop CS6, which I work in for 5 to 8 hours every day. I have a 27" iMac with a 3.4GHz i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2GB Ram and over 1.5TB of available scratch disk space. After working thru a couple of large images I have to start monitoring RAM use via Activity Monitor and reclaiming RAM via Terminal very often in order to continue working.
I believe something strange is happening in the background because very often, when I start a new session, PS "recovers" a "large format document"... one that was properly closed in a previous session, and one that I have not asked PS to open. I feel like my whole memory usage issue is tied to the system somehow holding onto those "large format documents".

I've recently upgraded my computer to Win 7 and then to PS CS6 Extended. Now when I process RAW files in ACR 8.1, I get an "Out of Memory" error if I do more than 70 ~ 80 - 24 mb files. Also, it's running really slow. It's taking nearly 50 seconds to process 1 - 24 mb file where PS CS3 and ACR 4.X it took only 17 for the same size file.
Computer Specs; 3.40Ghz, 4GB RAM (max for the motherboard), 120 GB HD "C", 40 GB Scratch Drive, Win 7
What I have done is made sure that the scratch drive is listed first for cache in both PS and ACR, then in ACR, set the cache to nearly 500,000. (I think these numbers are correct, I'm not at the offending computer now)So the questions are; do I need to make any changes to specific setting? Does PS CS6 and ACR 8.1 require more RAM?

I just downloaded lightroom 5.4 the other day and today was the first time I went to download images with it.
I could review all my images before I plugged my card into the card reader and attempted to download them, when I opened the import window in lightroom the first image on the card had a preview, but it was greyed out and the rest of the images came up with the .CR2 icon and when I tried to import them I got an error message saying that the files cannot be read.
I tried ejecting the card and putting it back in my camera, but now I can't see the images on my camera either or save them manually to my hard drive.
The files are from a Canon 5D mk II and I shot all the images in RAW with no JPG's.

we are using a Dell T5500, WIN7, 64bit with 24 GB main memory. Corel X5 seems to use only a small part of it, although we have large files and jobs (e.g. to export to Adobe Illustrator). This takes a long time (> 10 min), where sometimes Corel even writes nothing to the AI file.
CPU usage is medium, memory usually around 2GB, but not larger.
How can we bring Corel to use more memory to be faster and/or in order to avoid swapping else writing nothing into Adobe Illustrator?
