It's more than frustrating! CDR 2019 freezes at al lot of normal actions. It freezes when importing SVG-files, it freezes sometime when only copying an graphic element from one page to another. An I can reproduce that behaviour - so it is not just a time to time failure of the program!
So, Corel-Team, would you please either deliver an bug-fixing update soon or alternativ a tool to convert CDR-Files from Version 2019 to Version 2018 with which I don't have to open each file separately and save it in CDR2018 format again! Fortunately I stll have CDR1018 still on my PC - and that is working without any problem!
Stop implementing more and more kinky and unnecessary, only for private playing users interesting, tools and concetrate on a stable working platform for professionals!If the upcoming update, and I hope it is coming really soon, doesn't fix the problems, I have to terminate my subscription, work only with CDR2018 and start to migrate to Adobe products.
A very disappointed user that worked with CDR since Version 4!
Seek out the File Converter macro. It will convert files made in 2019 back to any version you like. Be safe, find all by using Explorer and add the File Version column, that way you'll find all 2019 files, the COPY them to a temp folder and set the macro going on the file copies.
Thank you very much for this tip! That will help a lot and I will try that asap!
Personally I have ditched 2019 and will see what 2020 brings. I haven't paid the protection money so 2020 is going to have to be absolutely brilliant for me to fork out the full version fee. Can't see it happening TBH.
I will stick with 2018 for now, even though I'm finding more and more annoyances with that. It seems Draw 2018 likes to forget some of the keyboard customisations , things gradually stop working . I need to re-import a workspace every now and then to restore my sanity.
Hi Hywel,
I put my 2019 to rest, drives me crazy. Staying with 2018 for now.
You put 2019 to rest eh? Did you get your money back?

As a long-time user, it's easy to love 2018 (as long as it's running in a stable, reliable manner). It feels so much like the next logical step in the series.
When 2020 comes out, 2018 will be the yardstick against which I measure it.
I need the improved PDF output many times so I keep 2019 running. I hope 2020 will keep that improved PDF output and fix the many fatal flaws of 2019.
