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.
I am having the same problem. Have you solved it?
Did you click on the background tasks icon and try cancelling the supposedly-incomplete save operation?
If you did, and if you find there is consistently an incomplete save operation, you can try disabling background tasks in tools > options > global,
I have the same problem the background task icon is not showing and the options and customisation will not open I've closed the program down through task manager and restarted with a blank page, options and customisation still does not open.
I tried again after re-bootong but still remain the same.
