The Templates Menu
The Templates menu of the Q++ Main Window offers time-saving features.
QuarkXPress (no file) |
Launches QuarkXPress without trying to open a file. Useful if you then wish to create a new qxd file. Note that Q++ will try to launch the latest version of QuarkXPress, if you have both QuarkXPress 3.3x and 4.0x installed on your machine. |
Open Quark File |
Same as above, but displays a File Open dialog first to let you choose the file to open using QuarkXPress. |
Compare 2 Quark Files |
Launches the Quark Files Comparer which lets you analyze the differences between 2 QuarkXPress files in the most minute details. |
Current QxdFiles |
Lets you directly open in QuarkXPress, all the "Qxd Files" of the current Script's QxdPages ScriptLines. |
Re-Inspect All Plain QXDs |
Automatically re-inspects all the Plain QXDs of the current script. If the same plain QXD file is used more than once in the script (for example, pages 1-12 in the front and pages 13-25 in the back), then that file is only inspected once. |
Current GridTemplates |
Lets you directly open in QuarkXPress, all the GridTemplates used by the current Script's DiaryGridLines ScriptLines. |
Recently Scanned GridTemplates |
Lets you directly open in QuarkXPress, the last 6 templates that you scanned. |
Open Main Output File |
Use this menu item to re-open the output file for the current Script. This is disabled if the file is not yet, or no longer, available. |
Convert Main Output File to EPS |
This command will convert the QuarkXPress output file of the current script into a series of EPS files (one EPS file per page of the QuarkXPress file) in the folder indicated by the EPS Folder property. Note that you can also use the Tools/QXD to EPS menu sequence to convert any QuarkXPress file to EPS, even one not generated by Q++ Studio |
Templates Manager |
Brings up the Templates Manager. |
Re-Scan Current Templates |
Use this to automatically rescan any of the GridTemplates used by any of the DairyGridLines of the current Script. Note that this rescan is automatic (the Templates Manager never appears). If you wish to modify some attribute of a Template, then use the Templates Manager. |
Re-Scan All GridTemplates |
Automatically re-scans all the GridTemplates used in the current script. |
Note that many of the above menu commands can be accessed directly either from the Script Editor's toolbar or popup menu.
