Pls correct these in SP1

Problem 1

I export 10" x 10" box to tiff format at 150 dpi....

I again want to export the same box at 300 dpi....the height & width changes

it was not in earlier versions...u export at any resolution...the size remains the same

Problem 2

Now I want to convert the same box to bitmap. We normally do this by keyboard shortcut (Alt + .) and convert to bitmap window appears with the resolution field selected. It should change the resolution when I type a new one instead of this I have to select the resolution field again to make it active. This is very irritating to select the field which is already highlighted.

Good news Gerard, thank you for pre-explanation.

Well, SP1 cannot come soon enough.

I purchased X5 a week ago and have already gone back to X3.

X5 continuously shuts down when scrolling with the mouse.

Using Auto-centering in Powerclip doesn't center.

Switching from Enhanced view has to be done manually instead of using Shift+F9, and when shifting back it switches to Normal instead of Enhanced.

Selecting and shifting items has a lag.

The interface (skin) should return back to that in X3. It's as if the icons have been changed just for change sake without improving them.

Saving drawings increases file size 3 times.

Shadow effect from X3 files to X5 is very pixely.

Apart from that I don't have anything to complain about.

I hope that the above really is a sub-set of what you have been working on, the most important item of improving/optimising bitmap preview re-draw to make the application usable in large format printing is not ignored, X5 is currently not being used due to speed problems and stability.

CDX5 is pretty OK on XP SP3, however after a while XP becomes slow, sometimes the toolbars shift around on their own when minimizing and maximizing CDX5, when opening or importing the thumbnails are empty in the open / import box (maybe a refresh problem) and lastly the main window where you work with graphics in CDX5 is terrible with refreshing, you always have to do a manual refresh. Apart from the oldschool toolbars (Windows 98 flat style) its not too bad. But yes still room for improvement, I hope SP1 will address this, I've been using CD since v5 and am a CD fan. Overall its a good application.

I really love CorelDraw but the newest release (X5) has me really disappointed that a company can put a product like that on the market.

I gave X5 another try and now I find that fonts randomly print out pixally. I've printed to different printers and the problem occurs on all of them so it is a X5 problem.

Even rectangles print with different thicknesses on each side.

This adds to my list of problems with X5. Can't wait for SP1 to come out. In the mean time I'll convert all my work back to X3.

How do I get in touch with Technical Support Gerard?

Will let you take the reports here Gerard and supply them to the "Technical Support" on our behalf as you have a better relationship with them. They make it too complicated and time consuming to contact them.
