According to Fraser, Murphy & Bunting, in "Real World Color Management", the "glaring hole" in Corel Draw's CM is that Corel Draw does not color manage it's own files – no information of what ICC profile the file is intended for can be embedded. In other words, you can't embed for example a ISO FOGRA27 CMYK profile in a CDR file. And when you share files, how are you supposed to know how the colors were supposed to look? You must add a note to the file about that. As they say: "a kludge at best".

Time for some change on this?

Lars I am impressed with the new Corel Management.  In my opinion the future of Corel is very bright.

I also hope that PP now discovers what color space an image is in if it is tagged with an ICC profile, and adjusts the Internal RGB space (Working RGB in Photoshop lingo) accordingly, so you get to see the right colors automatically. Many vievers (Irfan View and ACDSee) do this now and I'd like PP to do that as well.

We all want proper color management.
