Files previously batch processed using X3 and X4 cannot be batch-opened i X5. These are ordinary greyscale JPGs of moderate size (3 MP). Selecting several files in a "File - Open " operation also produces error message. When using X3 and X4 on the same files, no errors occur. Any suggestions?
I can't see what is your problem. Do you mean that when you process the original files in X3 and X4 you don't have problems and same files and method in X5 present problem? Could you explain the process that you are following?

Are you saying that you have JPG files that PhotoPaint can not open at all?
No. Corel PhotoPaint X5 opens all kinds of files, but when I select more than ONE file (e.g. File - Open - and then I select many files) only ONE file is opened, and I get an error message, "Invalid file name" - allthough all files have valid file names, and all are JPGs that were opened in X4 with no errors.
When trying to batch process many files (five files in this example), I get an error message immediately when I try to "select all" files in a folder:
"4 image(s) failed to load. Some formats are not supported for batch processing" - this despite that fact that all five selected files were normal small JPG files. Batch processing these five files in X3 and X4 caused no problems.
I get exactly the same error message that Jeff Harrison reports (posted above), and I have stopped using X5 for batch processing - I have had to return to X4.
Do you have problems opening many files in a single "File - Open" operation? Try "File - Open" then go to a folder with some files, select a few of these and select "Open". In my case only ONE file is opened, then I get one error message per file not opened. Using CorelDRAW X5 I can open several CDR files at the same time, no errors.
I have X4 also on the same PC, and I get none of these errors using X4. I think it must something wrong with the file handling in X5. I use windows7 on a new Dell laptop, 4 GB ram and a fast processor; there should be no hardware problems. Windows update updates the system according to anything new from Microsoft.
