I have Corel PhotoPaint X5 running on Windows 7 x64. Every time I save a jpg or jpeg file, the file cannot be shared and appears with a padlock on the bottom left hand corner. To be able to share it, I have to go to the properties of every individual photo and add "Everyone" to the permissions in the Security Tab. Other files save OK. Its only jpg/jpeg files that get locked. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this annoying problem?
I am also having the same problem. Running Corel PhotoPaint X5 (Version 15.2.0.686) on Windows 7 Pro x64. When exporting files, certain file types do not retain the proper sharing permssions. File types such as JPG,PNG,GIF lose the permissions, however file types such as TIFF, CPT, PDF retain the permissions. This would seem to be a problem with the application since only certain file types are affected. If you have solved the problem, or anyone can offer any solutions other than manually changing the permissions, I would appreciate it.
Same here, I have another thread in here somewhere about it, exporting jpegs from Coreldraw X5, I had to reinstall X4 because of it. I see there is no simple solution. Its not a windows problem it is 100% a Corel problem, a shame too, X5 looked promising.

In Windows 7, Microsoft altered the network sharing settings and a bunch of internals. One main thing that MS eliminated was the global 'Everyone' permissions. It is still there, but has to be manually added on many files/directories. Even on a directory that has 'Everyone' added, writing a new file into that directory, Windows does not add the 'Everyone' attribute to the sharing of that file. The 'Everyone' tag, (the lack of the lock on the lower left corner) of a file, may depend upon the file extension, also. I found that jpg files are always locked until one of two actions that I take. Either I manually share them with 'Everyone' or I do a total reboot. In the past, I added an 'Everyone' group to the groups that I share, in the network sharing options. (And sometimes, the reboot option does not work.)
The implementation of the 'Everyone' sharing was not too clean, in my opinion, as some file types get the tag and others do not, as they are written to the disk. I do not know where MS' head is when they decided to 'tighten security and file sharing across networks' It seems that there was a half of a job, done in this aspect.....(Too many developers that do not have a decent means of communication, in place, is my best guess.)
