Need help in CORELDRAW 10!

from WinCustomize Forums
Ok expert Corel users... I have a question. I want to be able to view actual thumbnails of my Corel works in explorer, but all I get is a cdr icon. I know it's possible, because my brother can see thumbs, but he can't figure out how he activated it. Anyone know how? I've got hundreds of files I need to sort, and it REALLY helps to have a thumbnail. Thanks!

In CD 12, the command is:

Tools > Options > Document > Save > select "Use current thumbnail".

May be the same in CD 10, but I never used that version.

Ok... I checked that out. It's there, and it's good for the future, unfortunately, it doesn't change any files that I already have. That's kinda the point of what I needed. I think I'm screwed, but from now on I will do it that way.

Did you try to open the files and then reset the options > resave?

Well, that kind of defeats the purpose here... I have hundreds of files that I want to go through and organize WITHOUT having to open them all. That's why I was hoping to figure out this thumbnail thing. I'm just going to have to set aside time to do it the old fashioned way... I'll be sure to check that setting on any new files I create in the future... Thanks for your help, Corky!

Have you tried the help menu...viewing thumbnail? Most programs have a good help menu.
