So I was in the middle of making a design and it was running slow, but that's to be expected with all the nodes and effects I was using with my set up. I was making a few changes as it was mostly done and then all of my Gaussian blur effects disappeared. I started to redo the effects thinking it was just a little glitch but it happened again and then I noticed that the Ggaussian blur effects were still there but it had copied the original object without the blur effect. But all of the gaussian blur effects were extremely difficult to interact with. They are very difficult to select to delete or move around.
I decided after a bunch of back and forth for like a half hour that I would just restart the program and reopen it to see it that would help with this issue. But now the file wont open. It doesnt say the file is corrupted but it's stuck with the processing bar fully green at the bottom of the UI and its not opening the file. The Back Up File acts in the same way and opening the file after a restart on two different computers and has the same results.
What's going on here? Do I have to start from scratch?
Can you post a link to download the file? I'm assuming that you're using 2019 with all the patches. I'll try and open the files renam save as to a 2019 file and send it back to you.
To me it seems that due to a lack of resources the file may have become corrupt.
I'm not sure of any patches tbh. I've just installed the program without any additional updates I believe. unless it updates when it installs. It was installed probably 6 months ago.
Heres a Link on Google Drive: PROBLEM FILES
hopefully that works. I included the back up just in case. Thanks!
The file to which you linked crashes my CorelDRAW 2019, but opens all right in 2020, 2021, and 2023.
Here's a version saved in 2019 format from 2020: EC Sports Nissan NV 200 Wrap 2023 - save from 2020 to 2019.cdr.
If you'd like me to take down that link after you get the file, just let me know.
I got the same results as Eskimo, this was one of the reasons I never put 2019 on line
Thanks a lot! the original file crashes my Corel 2019 now as well, didn't do that before.. The new file appears to work. Thanks a lot! please take the link down, thanks again!
