WHERE IS UPDATE 4?!
COREL....
…..
Seriously, do you believe that they will launch an update one year later, instead to focus on the next release?
I'd be happy they RESOLVED 100% of issues per yearly cycle when they have 100% of my money for that yearly release.
The issues just keep compounding every year... if my business ran that way, and I NEVER kept up with issues as they occur, I'd be OUT OF BUSINESS... but then again, I sense that is where Corel is heading unfortunately.
When will 2020 be released?
In 2021.
lol, yeah I don't know. Based on the 2019 fiasco I'm always reading about on here, Corel deserves the jab. Anyway, I'm very curious to see here if the 2020 release brings redemption.

HA! Yeah, if that was the case, then we'd be good... we'd be back on the NON-YEARLY cycle and back to the 2-3 years cycle which would be PLENTY of time to PERFECT this 2019 mess.
I don't know that your concept is correct, I get the feeling that the programming bench if really shallow at Corel.
I'll give you an example, you have a dialog with the obvious features, however there are a few not so obvious features that have been there for many release cycles. These are the things that only experienced Draw programmers know about and these have fallen through the cracks. However Corel does not listen when it's brought up.
That shallow programming bench has no idea of real programming for real features, I'll give you four examples.
1 Corel Font Manager, those designers advising Corel wanted what we got, however the information came from designers with no concept of how a computer worked. So the default was the new behavior which is awful and sloooow. When the default should have been as a standard font manager with the new features as optional.
2 The node debacle of 2017, again designers who advise Corel wanted something, the release was the new behavior as default, again performance was awful. A quick fix was made but in 2018 a repair was finally done.
3 2019 Designers wanted the keep desktop objects on layer behavior, so Corel did it and again the new behavior became default screwing 95% of their user base, instead of adding the feature as an optional behavior.
4 All the way back to X5 Corel updated their color management to a document level professional level color management. This time they listened to the right people up to a point. They again chose the wrong default of relative colorimetric rendering. Adobe uses relative colorimetric but with Black Point Compensation turned on, (which Core correctly does not support), which mimics perceptual rendering. However they chose relative colorimetric rendering which the ICC says for wide gamut to narrow gamut conversions is useless. The we jumpo to 2019 where the dialogs work but are labeled backwards.
Corel has a disconnect with what the designers want, programming it as a feature, placing it in the application as unintrusively as possible and then marketing the new option functionality of the new feature.
ERGO a shallow bench!
