The whole approach of the programming team seems aimed at age around 11 years. Draw is a complex and sophisticated suite and the programmers should remember that the users are likewise, experienced and sophisticated; simply they are not programmers. The new template system is a complete nightmare to manage. How the hell does one get rid of a large selection of not wanted templates from "My Templates" It's wonderful how there are NO instructions in what must be the most often used facility. Come on Corel you can do it a LOT better. You are not selling this program to kindergartens, kids can't afford it. You are selling to professionals who have used it for years and years. Do you understand that ?
I would also like to know how the Template dialog in Draw X4 is supposed to work. The state of it now just leaves me puzzled. Cansomeone please explain? And why don't my own templates appear there even if I have used the "Open other" button. Isn't this dialog supposed to keep track of the templates on the system?
Lars. Don't like how the Template dialog works either (as a matter of fact I couldn't get along with it, with the result that I've stopped working with templates in X4), but I think the key was to make sure your templates folder is indexed by Windows. At least if you're running Vista.
Okay, that might be the answer. But I'll have to look it un in the Help file. It seems a bit strange that it relies in Windows indexing your templates. Do you have to keep all templates in one folder to make it work? Or can it keep track of them regardless of where they are stored, if they are indexed by Windows?
