Just tested it and seems to be fixed now Joe Diaz you had the same problems with it also.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. Been driving me nuts.

What about the download below that one for service pack 3? I bought my X5 in December and SP3 was a May fix, anyone know how to check if my version needs that one too?

I will try it too.
X5 seems to have a few bugs besides the export thing.
Mine is forever loading and lately it freezes as soon as I load it, then it works after I cuss it out for a few seconds.
Love....Jill

I'll try it out. The export thing bugs me.

X5 was quite slow and buggy until I built a new design machine. I put the X5 install on my solid state drive and now it works like a charm.

I didn't need the SP3 update. The patch also fixed the zoom issue. Two things that were absolutely driving me nuts. Thanks!

 

[SignManiac]

What was the issue with zoom? I haven't experienced any problems with it.

Hi all, new to this forum but a long time Corelian.

The Hotfix (to my knowledge) addressed 'some' issues with 'some' export issues on 'some' systems.
If you prefer to use the older style export dialog box in X5, you can easily do the following:
[1] Close Corel and navigate to the folder shown below
[2] Add an x to the 2 file extensions

The export dialog box should revert to what you've been used to in previous versions.
You can always change it back to the X5 way by renaming the extensions again and removing the x's
