(More customer reviews)Have corel X3 and bought this update X5. Corel X3 shows thumbnails and previews of all its images that are Corel or photopaint files. X5 will NOT SHOW THUMBS or previews!!! None of our CDR files will show previews. There are 1000's of cliparts that we cannot tell what they are because the program will NOT show thumbs, just a little green pencil icon which is the corel x5 logo. Nobody in corel forums knows how to solve this problem, and there are many others who have this problem with their corel X5 too. corel Inc. will not do anything to help. too bad, the program seems to have many good features if you could just see your file thumbs.
