Hi Mr. Corel,
Hi Mr. Corel,I don't expect you to add features to Photopaint since only a few people in the universe use it.However, I do recommend that you drop back to version 6 so that CPT thumbnails will be present for us old timers.
In case, you want to add features I would recommend:1. A tool such as the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop.2. Content Aware Fill as in Photoshop3. Remove the Shell Extension as Photoshop did.3. Make the CPT format public as Photoshop did so that Mystic Thumbs can create the thumbnails .

I don't. That has never happened to me and there's no chance that the VA is sharing your personal information with 3rd parties to send you junk mail. LOL As usual, you just have no idea what's going on.
David Milisock said:Arguing over whether Apple or Microsoft is screwing you the most is as bad a arguing over which politician is screwing you the most. They are all!
Except, that's not the argument. LOL But you of course never actually know what's being discussed.

RIGHT! 4 million people lose their privacy with a government run program, oh it was their employees. The NSA catches their employees spying on their spouses electronic communications, that never happened right!
I make my first call on the VA in over 30 years, give them my private information and within 10 days I start receiving mail which has specific information in it which I jut gave out.
OK I trust the government! [:P]
NO way that someone slipped one of the people a couple C notes for a list, those people all were really wealthy and don't need any money or they were all paragons of virtue. I hope this line drips with sarcasm!
This is the human race we're talking about, you can buy anything or damn near anyone!
Yep you're an Adobe guy.

See what you did right there. Rather than blaming the VA as whole as you originally did, you're now blaming the actions of some rogue employee. It is obviously not the policy of the VA to do such things. As always with you, there's no truth. Just loud talking.
I probably have less faith in humanity than you. And I've mentioned 50 times that I hate Adobe for their policy of renting software even though it's super high quality software. But how can I hate Adobe for renting super high quality software and not hate Corel for selling trash for decades? Somehow though, you make an exception for Corel, who is also trying to rent that trash software as best they can.
KuttyJoe said:See what you did right there. Rather than blaming the VA as whole as you originally did, you're now blaming the actions of some rogue employee
This is what I mean by Adobe person, limited thinking, the VA, like a church, like a city, state or federal government or anything else is just an organization made up of people, but the individuals action is an action of the whole, they can't be separated. It's the organizations fault that their policies do not prevent abuse. So it does not matter what policy any of them have, they will do what they do, so protect your self.
That's why we have policemen killing people,school teachers and church people having sex with kids, government corruption in a vast scale. Any study of history will show that we as humans are what we are and any organization we create in the end reflects what we are.
Now as far as Corel I've been pushing the corporation to move their product since version 4 when is was barely useful except for the really talented. It's now useful for a general use in the professional arena so if you ask some of the current and past managers they may have a different opinion on how I have treated them.

Nonsense. The organization has policies. An individual may break those policies. First you condemned the organization. Then you thought better of it and instead condemned the rogue employee. Now you are trying to conflate the two as if they are one and the same. They are not. For you, the result might be the same. Not that you can prove a drop of what you just stated about the junk mail.
My only point is that it's highly unlikely that it is the policy of the VA to do such a thing. If an individual within the VA did it, then there's no point in mentioning the name of the VA in your little rant.
KuttyJoe said:Nonsense. The organization has policies. An individual may break those policies
And their are legal ramifications bot criminal and civil so both are considered liable.
KuttyJoe said:First you condemned the organization. Then you thought better of it and instead condemned the rogue employee.
This is what I mean by short thinking, I never separated them, my first post was the organization, including the individual and the second post simply informed how these thing happen and did not relieve the organization of its responsibility.
KuttyJoe said:Not that you can prove a drop of what you just stated about the junk mail.
I can but it's not worth it, no real monetary damage just a PITA, I get the same thing when I buy computer parts on line, I use a special e-mail and have all privacy enabled in my account and within days I get junk mail. I know this because I set up accounts just for large purchases.
KuttyJoe said:My only point is that it's highly unlikely that it is the policy of the VA to do such a thing. If an individual within the VA did it, then there's no point in mentioning the name of the VA in your little rant
Of course their public policy says what's politically correct, what gets done and what the organizations leaders know and what they do about what they know can be another thing.
If the individual represented the VA or any other organization then it is correct to mention them and that's the point. Just as people blame Corel, Apple or Microsoft for assumed or real privacy intrusions.
As I said before PROTECT YOURSELF, I have 3 networks in my home, 1 for public access, 1 for graphic access and 1 for secure business I also have 3 networks in every remote business office.
For posters to complain on forums about the way MS or Apple or any other data collection is like going to the beach and complaining about sand and getting wet. These are the facts of a modern existence.
The best discussion is on how to protect yourself. I got popped for 3 grand on a CC and since we compartmentalize credit we knew it was the pool purchase, got the money back and they busted the clerk.
David Milisock said:Just as people blame Corel, Apple or Microsoft for assumed or real privacy intrusions.
Only if it is the policy of those companies to commit such offenses. Not when there's a rogue employee who is responsible. For example, who is responsible for the sticky Windows 10 advertisement in your notification area that you can't easily get rid of? Is it a rogue employee? No, this is a Microsoft policy of operation. If a rogue employee did it, then it would be a whole different conversation. Microsoft would simply get rid of that employee and deal with the damage. If it's a Microsoft policy, then this is a harbinger of what is to come in the future from Microsoft. There's a big difference here but it's clearly going right over your head.

Did you read the new MS privacy policy? I got mine a few days ago.
You have to understand you DO NOT OWN the software you rent it and as such within their policy guidelines they can do as they please. MS, Apple and Corel don't worry me, Adobe since being compromised, I believe 3 times has improved. These are big and for the lack of a better work brick and mortar type businesses with significant risk. If you're worried about this little thing then you are not grasping the depth of it.
The greatest concern is the fact that people install apps without thinking and many are built on backdoor data gathering technology. I saw a guy who had to have his I phone linked to the corporate network which was complicated and the tech on site could not make the standard Apple interface work so he downloaded an app. Well the app license said that they were collecting damn near everything except the guys daughters teeth and the tech didn't read it.
Well that lasted about an hour until I got in touch with the business owner.
I talked to an old friend who works testing security systems about two years ago and he described to me that they had dropped a bug into a phone that when logged on to a network would record every keystroke on the network and broadcast it. Now two years later we have had one security breech after another from phone systems, seems they were working to plug the right holes not just fast enough.
The barn door is flung open and there's no closing it the software companies own the software and the lawyers. You'd be surprised what the guy at the supermarket gathers about you.
BTW when I wore the uniform of the US Navy I was the Navy and if I violated the ROE the Navy violated the ROE.
