Sometimes I'll get this message when I try to close a file:
"Some of the documents could not be closed, because tasks are being performed in the background." This on a file that's been saved already, nothing else is being done to it, there are no other files open - but IT WON'T LET ME CLOSE THE DANG THING. I have to force-close the entire application. See the screenshot. Anyone else have this happen?
The image is a bit small, but I think I can see the background tasks icon showing on that screen:
You need to click on that icon and investigate why it is still showing.
See also http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/46611.aspx for another instance of a background tasks problem.
Thanks, Harry. This is what I get when I click that icon (and the document's "SAVE" icon on the toolbar is greyed out). Looks like it's the same issue as what was reported in the link you sent. Problem is it NEVER completes, so the document never closes unless forced to.
If I close background saves, am I disabling the automatic backups? Corel crashes enough that I absolutely rely on Corel's backups...
No, the options to perform the timed backup and the backup on save will both happen exactly the same. All that will change is that your own saves will happen in the foreground, so you will need to wait until they are complete before doing anything else on the file.
Thanks, Harry, I'll give that a try and see if it helps!
