Date Created for Corel Files

Thanks Ariel. Windows has both a Date Created and Date Modified. I understand why the Date Modified would be changed but the Date Created is also changed once the file is opened and becomes the same as the Date Modified. Once opened again, the Date Created is no longer accurate not useful.

Hi Bob,
Most of that is due to Windows rather than Corel.
Copy a file to a different folder. Then:

right click > properties > general tab

You may get a date modified that is earlier than the date created

However, Corel does delete the EXIF data. That includes the date taken information.
Adobe Photoshop and Corel PaintShopPro keep all the EXIF data

CorelDRAW files hasn't EXIF data in the same way than an image but it include their own information, and CorelDRAW doesn't delete this information. You can select any file with Windows Explorer, and see the Properties (right mouse button / properties) under the General tab, but if you go to "details" tab you'll see the internal information. For example, if your last installed version is X7 and you save the file as X5, Windows will shows as "CorelDRAW X7 file" but on the information you will see on what version was saved.

Thank you both. That was useful!
