Corel acquired Photo Album 6 from JASC and then promptly abandoned development, leaving a host of unresolved problems, ranging in severity from annoying to quite serious. Here are just a few examples:
1. The "View/Sort Thumbnails" setting is not remembered, i.e., if you want to see thumbnails sorted by name, you must specify this every time you open the application.
2. Photo Album 6 settings sometimes get corrupted. Corel's only solution for this is to open the "Application Data" folder for the current user and then delete the "Corel Photo Album" folder. This resets the database, which has several undesirable side effects, e.g., all keywords and descriptions are lost, and the program forgets all favorite folder selections.
3. There is no good mechanism for transferring the database from one computer to another. In particular, there is no way to merge two databases together, i.e., one database must overwrite the other.
4. There is no way to control the text size in menus. In particular, there is no way to increase the text size in the "Favorite Folders" or "All Folders" lists, a significant problem for users with poor vision.
Given the length of time that has elapsed, it has become clear that these and hundreds of other problems with Photo Album will never be fixed.
On top of all this, Corel technical support is surly and unhelpful.
I am now looking for a suitable alternative to replace this application.Get more detail about Corel Photo Album 6 Deluxe [OLD VERSION].
