Since I installed SP1 of X5 whenever I add an item to the tray in Connect it doesn't always refresh the tray in CorelDRAW.
Is there a simple refresh key press to refresh?. I have tried F5. Hiding the tray and reshowing doesn't work.
I like the idea of Connect but if it doesn't update in CorelDraw when adding items then not much point in using it.
Cheers!

Hi Trolley,
How do you mean it doesnt update?I just tried it again ( I am using Connect as well).I have Standalone CONNECT open, as well as Photo-Paint and CorelDRAW
I have select TRAY in both PP and DRAW dockers so Tray and CONNECT is shown at the same time.
Connect do have a refresh button, but to my knowledge it doesnt effect the Tray as the tray is instanlty updated, and for me all the time. The refresh in Connect standalone is located in the middle of the upper search fields. Its an arrow next to a folder icon.
Stefan,
Yes, that's exactly what I am doing. However, most of of time step 3 doesn't occur, ie the newly added item doesn't appear in CorelDRAW!
The refresh button in Connect you refer to applies to the current search.
I will try a "repair" installation to see if this fixes the problem.
Thanks for your reply.
Hi J,
Sometimes its that darn Murphy "law" guy making us go mental at things. This could be it. I made testruns as said and it worked and I too have X5 and SP1. Let me know of any irregularites. I am a beta tester and if their is any bugs you have found I could help on reporting them. Only I will have to be able to duplicate it.
What file formats are you drop and dragging by the way?
It's mostly CDS X5 Content but it's doesn't happen all the time. BUT when it does happen it's not just the once and even restarting programmes doesn't help. Will do a repair install now and see if it still happens.
I performed a repair install and I thought it had fixed the problem but it does still occasionally happen.
I have also found the above problem with Connect not always updating the tray within Draw and PP.
Furthermore, if I quit Draw or Photopaint, whichever I quit last replaces the contents of the tray in Connect (standalone) with its own , so if Connect hasn't updated throughout, the selection is easily wiped out.
Also, is anyone able to view Painter RIFF or PSD thumbnail images in Connect? That would be really useful.
