Hi all,
I was working on CD 2019 doc last weekend when my screen went black and stayed black. I waited, I hit ctrl-s to attempt to save my doc and used the power button to shut down with CD open. Yikes. I attributed this to a GPU driver failure and updated the driver and all is well on that front. However...when I opened CD again my workspace had changed to Touch from the previous setting of Default . I tried to reset CD back to the Default workspace but I no longer have that option. I repaired my installation and workspace options are as seen in the attached JPEG. CD 2019 on left and CD 2018 options on right. In addition my toolbox is now missing the star,complex star,basic shapes,arrow,flowchart,banner and callout tools.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks as usual!
I'll note here that I really like my customized workspace in 2018, and that I really, really don't want to ever rebuild it from scratch for 2018. I would start over from scratch if customizing for a new version.
As insurance, I fairly often run a FreeFileSync job that maintains a mirror of the folder containing my .CDWS files. Any time that a file is updated in or deleted from the mirror, the previous version is saved in a separate folder with a time stamp appended to the filename.
If something bad were to happen to a workspace, I would just turn back time to get to a good one.
And thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Hi ! I'm having exactly, and I mean literaly exactly the same problem you encountered 7 months ago. I read you ''wound up renaming the whole coreldraw graphics suite 2019 folder in %AppData%'', could you explain to me exactly what you did ? English is not my first language and I don't know much about editing things in the app folders and files.

Thank you a lot for your help !
Damn nevermind I found out what you meant and it worked for me too ! Thanks
It's a lot of fun learning about folders that are hidden from the user by default, isn't it?
As I noted earlier in this thread, I use FreeFileSync to back up my workspace files.
