So, does Corel Interprocess Controller actually serve any purpose other than burning up CPU resources? Because as far as I can tell it's sole purpose is to crash and cause problems.
Seriously. Any input that could justify such a waste of code and CPU time, would be greatly appreciated. Why would such a thing be needed, and if not needed, then why saddle us with such nonsense?
And ten moths later... still not a single answer to the question. Corel, drop the interprocess controller nonsense NOW. Kill it with fire. It's bloody useless and causes NOTHING but problems. It doesn't solve a problem, it creates them.
Clearly you're one of the very few having this issue.
Well, I genuinely cannot find any actual REASON it exists... Earlier versions did not need it. New versions don't NEED it either. It's just another prime example of Corel overcomplicating things for no real benefit. Perfect example is the new trace engine which is literally 10 times slower than previous versions while adding no benefits to the results. How is it that a version of the software that is 10 years older can do the same trace in 1/10th the time? How is that in ANY way beneficial to the user? I don't want stupid gadgets and useless gee-whiz features at the expense of stability and efficiency. Sorry.
On my systems, (that's none of the 8 of them) I have exhibit any problem with the interprocess controller and Trace works the best since version 12.
What are your system specifications?
My top system is an i9 desktop with 64GB of RAM, a 2 TB SSD, 8GB Nvidia graphics card.
My bottom system is an i5 Toshiba laptop with 6GB RAM, 750GB hard drive and an on board Intel graphics card. It of course slower than my other systems but it works as well as expected.
David, do you really think Trace has improved that much? I'm still on 2020 but I do have the latest version installed. I still hang onto my old CDR 12 install disk just to preserve my access to that Trace. I have been wanting to set up a virtual machine running Windows XP just to play with CorelTrace 12. I fully believe the new AI tools are going to change the way vectorizing programs work at some point. Local LLMs with plugins are becoming a thing so a smart user can dedicate a workstation just to train on vectorizing if needed. I can only hope that Corel themselves are already working in this.
