2020 Workspace won't save with Open Image

Post by dondean »

Is anyone else having this problem with PSP 2020?
When I try and save a Workspace in PSP 2020 and check the box "Include Open Image", It will not save with the image(s). that are open.
Have tried multiple times.
Am using PSP 2020 on a Windows 10 PC (Pro version), have plenty of free disk space, and 48 GB RAM with 38 GB available.

It works on my version.
Images must be saved first.
If you create a new image and don't save it, it doesn't work.
Could you post the exact steps you do?

Here's my Steps:
1. Open PSP 2020 on my PC.
2. Open a .jpg photo in PSP 2020 that is stored on my PC.
3. Click on "File > Workspace > Save"
4. Specify a New Workspace Name as "Test Include Image" and check "Include Open Image".
5. Click "Save"
6. Click on "File > Exit" to close PSP 2020
7. Open PSP 2020 on my PC.
8. Check to see that the "Test Include Image" Workspace is active and it is, but the photo was not opened in the Workspace.

Just tested with PSP X9 and it also does not open with a saved image.
The information about saving a custom workspace is here:

I think that this means that you cannot start PSP and have an image open with it.
You have to separately load a workspace with linked image (ticking Yes to save workspace with open image).

Dondean, as Hartpaul says, the way you do it doesn't work in PSP.

What I do is the following:
- Save the workspace with the open image(s)
- Close PSP
- Drag the saved workspace on the Windows Desktop
- Double-click on this workspace on the Desktop
- PSP opens and loads the saved workspace with the open image(s).

Yes, I also found that once PSP has been opened and without an image, if I just click on "File > Workspace > the Workspace name listed at the bottom of the dropdown", then it will reload the ws with the image, without having to click on "Load" and then going to the list and then selecting from the list.

What a bummer! My PSP 2018 opens a named workspace; the same workspace every time. Does PSP 2020 lack this capacity?
Had PS3, PSP3; Installed: PSP-4.12, 5.03, 6.02, 7.04 (liked it a lot & used it for years), 8.00, XI, x4.3.0.3, x6.2.0.20, x7.4.0.11, x8.3.0.13, x9.2.0.7; now using PSPx10 (PSP 2018; version 20.2.0.1 x64) on Win 10-64 b2004.
