Oh. No not you Ram. What happened.
Also if you would like to use the built in file converter provided with X5 you can. Just make a small change in the frmFileConverter code..
Search for this line:
.AddItem Application.VersionMajor - 1
And add this line right under it:
.AddItem Application.VersionMajor - 2

A very unpardanable mistake i did that i saved all of my files to Corel X5 and now whatever the file i open it says out of memory, sometimes just by activating the OVERPRINT PREVIEW it hangs, and sometimes if paragraph linking is higher then it hangs, i really bother about coreldraw x5, and sometimes ( all the dialog number fields appeared to be active ) when i enter number it should not enter i have to select that field again and enter then it hangs..... oh my god its horrible..... i do not want coreldraw no more, i ll go for x3.
Hi.
Just to throw a little something in to this topic.
I have never saved an X5 version file. I still save all files in version 12 format. I use X5 and it works well; not sure if this down saving has anything to do with it.
Hello,
As an inexperienced user of CorelDraw X5, which I am learning how to use, I was curious as to why you would save your X5 files in version 12 format.
Could you say why you do that?
Regards.
HI.
I guess your talking to me since I do that and mentioned it earlier in this thread.
For my operation it suites me fine. Much of my workflow is automated and one reason is that I haven't gotten around to changing it. I don't use any of Draw's open, import, or save dialogs but rather my own custom ones in which the setting has been programmed. I also still use older versions of the software.
I have saved X5 files for testing but that's about it.
I'll probably make some changes when X6 is rolling smoothly.
Thanks for that info.

PS.
I've never had the greatest luck with X5 thumbs either. Down saving has always seemed to, well, just work better.
Here's an thumbnail example of X5 down saving a v12 file using the standard built in save dialog, and X5 saving a standard X5 file the same way.
Looks a bit confusing.
X5 and X4 thumbs should display much sharper with more details seeing that the thumb is in the file (Zip).
All my previous files 12 way back to version 9 looks awful.

Sure is.
Seems down saving, as long as you are doing it from X4 and above, still gets the good thumbnails.
