Store previews & meta data inside QuarkXPress documents

xtension  

Now available for QuarkXPress 7

Compatible with the Retrieva and Extensis Portfolio asset management applications, this Quark XTension provides a preview of all the Quark pages within the document along with previews of all images used and co-ordinates of the picture boxes.

This info is stored in the resource fork of the file and can be easily accessed using applications such as ResEdit, Resourcerer or procedurally using FileMaker, 4D, Omnis, REALbasic or C.

The preferences allow the user to switch previews off, set the size of the previews or allow the previews to be their natural size, as well as settings for JPEG compression quality for page & image previews.

MatrixPage2Pict for QuarkXPress 6 - version 1.1.5 (44KB Zip Archive)
download

Product requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  • QuarkXPress 6

Version history:

1.1.5

  • When iterating through a document's boxes in the save callback, we were missing out the last box! Now fixed.

1.1.4

  • Lots of improvements gleaned from various internal releases.
  • Fixed glitch introduced in 1.1.0 where JPEG compressing image previews could alter Quark's clipping rect.
  • The currently selected box is now restored after adding page previews. This could have resulted in a crash if you saved the document with page previews, then hit Select All.
  • Saving at zoom factor of more than 100% extended the canvas by that percentage. Very large percentages could cause page preview generation to fail.

1.1.0

  • Page & image previews are now JPEG compressed by default, resulting in drastically reduced Quark document file sizes.
  • Added new options in the Preferences Dialog to control JPEG compression quality for page & image previews.

1.0.6

  • Fixed a problem where the page width and height STR resources could contain garbled text.

1.0.5

  • Fixed a problem where the Quark XTensions Manager could incorrectly report the name of the XTension.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
