2. Multipage View & Global Layers

Designers working on brochures, catalogs, or yearbooks will appreciate the Multi-page View (accessible via the "Page Sorter" tab). Stability Verdict From user reports and personal testing,

  • Functionality: You can now view all 16 pages of a booklet simultaneously.
  • Global Layers: You can lock a layer (e.g., "Page Numbering" or "Bleed Guides") across all pages at once. In the build 24.2.0.429, this sync is instantaneous, fixing the lag issues present in version 24.0.

Why this matters:

  • Large File Handling: In version 24.2.0.429, you can open and edit vector files hundreds of megabytes without the "Out of Memory" errors that plagued older 32-bit versions.
  • Bitmap Effects: Running live effects (like Blur or Shadow) on high-resolution images is seamless because the software can address more than 4GB of RAM.
  • Multithreading: The -x64- architecture allows Corel to spread processing tasks across multiple CPU cores, drastically reducing render times for PowerClips and lenses.

Known Issues in this Build (v24.2.0.429)

Based on user community feedback (Corel User to User forums):

  1. The Font List Lag: If you have more than 1,500 fonts installed, the Properties docker takes 3–5 seconds to refresh. This was fixed in 2023.
  2. Align & Distribute Shortcut: The shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A sometimes fails to work until you reset your workspace to default.
  3. Export Docker Preview: Occasionally turns black. Closing and reopening the docker fixes it—no crash.
