I loaded the trial of X6 and now I have no thumbnails for X5.
I reassociated the files with X5 ... but still no Thumbs.
Win7 64bit
Any Ideas?? TIA
I can't keep thinking why X5 doesn't have this problem... It's funny that Corel step back in what is suppose to be an "advance" version, cause that's the hole idea right? I have entire clip arts without thumbs.
X5 would also have the same problem if you install it allowing it to become the default JPG and BMP handler and then uninstall it so that there is no longer a default handler for JPG and BMP files. Windows might choose another bitmap editor to become the default, but it will not always do so and it will not necessarily be the editor that you want unless you choose it yourself through the file associations.
Its not a new problem that is specific to X6 -- it is inherent in the way that windows works. But X6 has added a further complication by being also available in 64 bit and it seems there are also limitations (windows limitations, I suspect, rather than specifically Corel limitations) in using 64 bit features from 32 bit programs.
I'm sure Corel could help by clarifying exactly what the limitations and compatibility implications are -- but its looking to me that if you want to use X6 as default but keep the ability to use previous versions, you should probably be installing the 32 bit version of X6 and making it the last install.
