Quark Publishing System 3.6.2 Issues Resolved
Following is a list of issues resolved in Quark Publishing System® 3.6.2.
Mac OS® and Windows® XP: Local formatting was not retained between QuarkCopyDesk® and QuarkXPress® when you performed the following steps:
- Created two paragraph style sheets based on the default character style sheet using the same font, one with a plain font face and the other with an italics font face.
- Applied the plain style sheets to one paragraph, and then applied the italic style sheet to another paragraph.
- Highlighted the paragraph in italic type or part of the content of the paragraph in italic type and changed the text style from italic to plain.
Result: When you imported this QuarkCopyDesk article into QuarkXPress or chose Update Content (if the article was attached), the local formatting was overridden.
- Mac OS only: You could not save an XML output style if you entered an underscore character ("_") between placeholders in the XML file name to be generated from the output style. This issue has been resolved.
- Mac OS and Windows XP: The "Reverse sort" option did not work for custom pop-up header fields. If you created a custom pop-up header field and checked in your configuration file, and a QuarkCopyDesk user selected a value from this header field when checking in a new article, a QuarkDispatch® Manager user or QuarkCopyDesk user who showed the new header field as a column in a query display could not reverse-sort based on this header field.
Mac OS and Windows XP: QPS® performance in QPS client applications (QuarkDispatch Manager, QuarkXPress, QuarkCopyDesk, and QuarkConnect) was slow for checkout and query operations.
Mac OS and Windows XP: On rare occasions, a logged-on user received an "Invalid watch ID [224]" prompt from QuarkDispatch while using the Query palette.
Mac OS and Windows XP: A TCP/IP error displayed during the log-on process due to QuarkDispatch server performance issues and prevented you from logging on.
Mac OS and Windows XP: When checking out certain QuarkXPress projects, the Problem Attachments dialog box displayed, incorrectly indicating that all attached articles were detached. However, the articles remained attached, and logging off and logging on again prevented the incorrect error from displaying.
Mac OS and Windows XP: If you saved a picture file with a .JPEG or .TIFF file extension and then used the QuarkConnect Check In Other command to check in the file, the file was not associated with the picture file class and could not be attached to a QuarkXPress layout.
A few strings of text in the QuarkCopyDesk Print dialog box were not translated into German.
Mac OS and Windows XP: QPS clients were unable to log on to the QuarkDispatch server using the DNS name of the QuarkDispatch server machine.
Mac OS and Windows XP: QPS client applications did not retain server information from the previously logged-on QuarkDispatch server if the QuarkDispatch server was running in a different subnet.
Mac OS only: QuarkDispatch Manager unexpectedly quit when you deleted a QuarkXPress project revision.
"Header validation" is a QPS 3.6.2 feature that enables third-party XTensions software developers to provide a look-up feature in the Assign and Check In dialog boxes. When a user switches between controls in the Assign or Check In dialog box, a callback is initiated from QPS, which allows a third-party XTensions software module to insert information from a database.
