lose file switching between workspaces

[mzolth]

I was working on a file in the 'edit' workspace and decided to go to the "adjust" workspace and lost the file. Is that normal for it to close the file when moving to another workspace?

I do see that if I have the organizer opened to the folder with the file in it, it stays. This seems cumbersome though to have to open the organizer and find the file as opposed to just going to the Open folder button at the top of the Edit workspace to get the file. This is also nice because the Open button remembers where I was last whereas the organizer makes me start from scratch to drill down to the appropriate folder.

What am I missing?

When switching between modes it does close the files in X4 doesn't matter which direction you go. However, when you change the mode it attempts to open the last selected file from the organizer palette.

So that's what you're seeing is the organizer palette opens the currently selected file each time you move to a different mode.

It should, however, ask you to save if you've made changes to the image before closing it.

It does ask to save it. The hassle is using the organizer. You have to open the file from organizer to work. If you open the file from the File menu, it doesn't work.

Selecting it from the organizer re-opens it between modes so it definitely seems more seamless that way so I understand....sort of. I've never felt the need to go to the Adjust mode after being in full Edit mode so your process confuses me, but that's why it's your process, and probably confuses Corel. So let them know you want the old way back because they don't think like everybody does and need guidance.
