I am trying to embed HTML file with the Web View option from the HTML5 palette, but when I try to upload the file to App Studio Publishing the whole operation of uploading the files, just keeps on going forever. I am able to upload any other type of file, but not HTML. Any suggestions why this is so?

QuarkXPress and OS X Mountain Lion
QuarkXPress and OS X Mountain Lion
With the release of OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) on Jul 25, Apple introduced a new security feature called Gatekeeper, which helps you to keep your computer free of malicious software that you downlaoded. Gatekeeper allows only software from trusted sources to be installed: Apps from the Mac App Store, and apps from registered software vendors who have built their installers with a Gatekeeper signature.
Because QuarkXPress 9.3 was released before Apple introduced this new feature, Gatekeeper (at its default settings) does not allow the installer for QuarkXPress 9.3 (or earlier) to launch if you try to install from a downloaded Installer.
However, there are two ways to install QuarkXPress 9.3 (or earlier) under Mountain Lion:
- Control+click/right-click the installer icon and choose Open.
- Open System Preferences, click Security and Privacy, display the General tab, and then click Anywhere under Allow applications downloaded from.
(After installation, be sure to return this setting to its default state.)
While Quark has been testing with Mountain Lion for several months, the team is currently wrapping up testing. So in a few weeks, Quark will release a free update for QuarkXPress 9 that is compatible with Gatekeeper and has been extensively tested on the release version of Mountain Lion. That version of QuarkXPress will be the first version officially supported on Mountain Lion.
Until this upcoming version is released, Quark recommends that you use QuarkXPress 9.3 on Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion.
Update Aug 5:
Current test results and customer feedback show that for most customers QuarkXPress 9 seems to work fine under Mountain Lion with the exception of the Gatekeeper limitation.
However when using Mountain Lion with a few specific Graphics Cards, the Welcome Screen of QuarkXPress causes the application to crash. So far we know of ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5750M, ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5770 and ATI/AMD Radeon HD 6750M having this issue.
Remedy: Remove the "Welcome Sceen.xnt" from the XTensions folder.
We are working on a fix for this.
Update Aug 13:
We just released QuarkXPress 9.3.1, which is now also supported under Mountain Lion.

Create script for batch qxp 9.3 pdfs
Does anyone have a working script that opens multiple qxp 9.3 documents and exports them to pdf/x-1? When multiple qxp documents (that harbor over a network) are ready for export to pdf, I open them one by one, export to pdf to a designated folder on the network, and close. This becomes very tedious when there is 400 or so documents per week. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What are some computer skills/programs that Journalists should have?
I'm planning on dabbling in journalism, and I would like to get an internship after I graduate. I'm not very good with the computer skills that I often read are requirements for internships in general, which is discouraging. Things like Excel, for example. Anyway, I'm wondering, what sort of publishing software should I be familiar with? I don't know anything about working with layouts. Where should I start in learning about this? Are there any online resources to teach you for free or for a small fee?

Typing and pasting in HTML5 panel fields: SOLUTION
I've had some problems typing into text fields in the HTML5 palette, which has been a bit frustrating when trying to enter URLs. But I've just found the way to work that seems to completely avoid this entirely...
Simply select whatever's in there already and type something over the top or just backspace over it. This seems to make the text field get 'properly' focused, so you can then just paste or type without concern. If you need to edit something that's already in a field, select one character and type the same thing to replace it, then do your new edits.
Obviously this is something that I hope gets nailed in a bugfix round soon – new users shouldn't have to find these things out the hard way – but it's good to know there's a simple solution.

Social Media integration
I understand that there is the automatic inclusion of the social media sharing capability only if the user has it set up on their device, but I was wondering if there was a way to put a "Like Our Page" button directly into an issue? From what I've seen on Facebook Development, they only provide a code to insert into the app. Is there a way to incorporate this somehow when building the app in QuarkXpress?
Thanks!

Quark Xpress 2.0
This might seem like a crazy question, but I have two text books that were published in Quark Xpress 2.0 (in 1989 and 1990), and now I'd like to update them. Is there any way I can read the Quark Xpress 2.0 files and retrieve the text and/or graphics?

Split a Quark document into chapters or separate files
So I am struggling with the fact that even in 2013 and v 9.3 Quark can't handle large single documents with lots of photos. I have about 230 pages. Every other page contains at least 2 image files. My iMac has 16 Gb of RAM but Quark still crashes when scrolling through this document. Another reason to make the jump to ID. Quark is making it very hard for me to like them. Especially when I google the problem and realize that this is nothing new, and Quark should have fixed it a long time ago.
But for now I can't do this entire project from scratch in ID, and I can't afford to buy a plugin to convert the document on this projects budget. So what is the easiest way to split the document into book chapters? I started deleting pages and just saving the shortened document under chapter names. But I can't add them to a book for some reason. They do not contain any extra layouts.

Problems with Blio export in QX 9.5
Is anyone else having problems with this? When I export a print layout as a Blio eBook, I can't open it in the Blio reader - I just get an error every time saying that "This book cannot be opened. Do you want to remove the book from your library?"
I'm using QuarkXPress 9.5 for Windows. 9.3 used to export ok, but video and slideshow interactivity didn't work. Now I can't make Blio books at all.

I must be missing something.
Quark 8.5
What's the secret to selecting ONE item in a group.
In order to make a change in a single text box/photo, I have to ungroup the whole shebang. Then re-group.
This is most annoying and I suspect there is a way, but I don't know what it is.
Just one of the many annoying things about Quark.

QuarkXpress 9 Copy and Paste with a multipage PDF Issue
When using QuarkXpress 9.5 and importing PDF's with multiple pages, I have discovered an issue that could prove costly. If I have copied the contents of an imported PDF (let's say one with 2 pages). I can Import Page 1 into a box on it's own with no issue. If I then create 3 more boxes on the same page and bring in page 2 of the PDF into one of them and then manually copy the contents (Ctrl-C) from that box into the remaining 2 empty boxes, Quark correctly displays all of the contents.
However, when you PDF the document only the boxes where you have manually imported the page you want from the PDF (Ctrl-E) are exported correctly. If you have copied and pasted the contents (Ctrl-C), Quark replaces it with the contents from Page 1...

Missing Elements/Objects
After creating multiple pages in QuarkXpress I tried to upload them to App Studio and test on iPad. Although the elements are shown on the thumbnails they don't appear on the page neither in Preview neither on the iPad. I checked and the problem is not suppressed output. However by removing element by element I found that if I have two Buttons (HTML5 go to URL) they corrupt the whole page and make it static. Have anyone found a reasonable solution to this problem?
Thanks,

Urgent problem with video format
I'm giving a public demo tomorrow, where people will be doing production themselves. This will be with QuarkXPress 9.3, so the first-generation App Studio.
I have a video file that I want people to embed. It plays fine on my Mac AND on my iPad (test by going here: http://thanemagazine.com/Carnage-Corner.mp4) ... but when I try to set it as the Video item using App Studio (remember, in QXP9.3) I am not able to choose this video: it is greyed out.
I really need help fixing this as soon as possible!

Best Practices Work Flow
Hi,
I cannot find any tutorials that complement the LATEST version of App Studio/Quark, specifically the work flow. Example, should you create a separate quark document for the cover. Create another for TOC. Create another for each chapter so to speak. Each chapter or article would include a certain number of pages.
Then, upload those articles into one issue. Also, in previous versions you supported STACKED pages where a user like they do for INDD apps can scroll down to view an article and then swipe horz to view next article. Is this available for Quark?
Any tips would be appreciated.

> BUTTONS PROBLEME WITH QUARK
Hi,
I'm trying to put buttons on my apps with "Add URL" with an HTML link and with a mailto (mailto:yourmail@domain.com?&subject= YOUR SUBJECT&body=your content).
That looks good and simple to do, but when I upload and test on my Ipad it doesn't work. Like if there are no buttons ?
My version of quarkxpress is the last one 9.5, I try with QuarkUpdate and it's say that the latest version.
Let me know what to do.

Urgent Help - Quark 9 Mac and PC
Hi all
I'm running Quark 9 on a Mac and my Mac has to go off for repair (dreaded screen flicker issue on 27" imac) and will be in the shop for about a week... I have some urgent work to do whilst the Mac is away and I need to fire up my old pc and use that! The PC runs version 7 and my question is:
Can I either install my version 9 software on the pc without causing a conflict on the Mac when I get it back or can I save version 9 files down to version 7 before I let go of the Mac, which is tomorrow, hence an urgent post!
Thanks in advance for any help.
