I installed a trial version of CorelDraw 20. I kept 2018 installed, and after the trial I uninstalled it. Everything is working fine now exept for my file preview pane in explorer. I have set the "previewdetails" in the registry to show the things I want to see (fonts, curves, corel version). It worked perfectly before. I'm using windows 10.
Now when I right click a CDR file in explorer all i see is this, and I can't type in any of the fields.
My registry entry looks like this:
previewdetails string is:prop:System.Title;System.Keywords;System.Comment;System.Author;*Corel.Document.FontList;*Corel.Document.ObjectNames;System.Size;*System.Media.CreatorApplicationVersion;*System.FileVersion;System.DateModified;
How do I get it to show in explorer now? The thumbnail is correct now (shows 2018 thumbnail). I went into associations and made sure everything is associated with 2018.
I finally fixed it for anyone that experiences this issue. Here is what I did:
I uninstalled "Corel Graphics Windows Shell Extension". I then did a "Modify" for Corel Graphics Suite (rather than repair .. which did not work) and I selected "Windows Shell Extension" in the tools list which was unchecked since I had uninstalled it.
This put the preview thumbnails and details back to the default settings. So I then I went back into the registry and added my preferred list of "PreviewDetails" since it had been overwritten. Now everything is back to normal.
I thought the "Repair" procedure should take care of Windows Shell Extension as well, but apparently it didn't since the 2020 version was still installed and active after removing the trial.Glad you found out how to fix it.
