Quark Forums

    When attempting to 'Edit Original' art files from within Quark, nothing happens on a half-dozen files. We tried a handful of things without any change. The only thing that appeared to work was to copy the files to the local drive.
    Another oddity is the file duplication. It may be connected to the resource for issue. When opening one of these Quark files from the server, a copy is created as the file opens. This seems to happen every time the file is opened.
    Using Clorox does not appear to resolve the issue.
    This is a lower priority issue, as it only affects a few files. The designer can manually open the art files and make edits, then update the links in Quark.
    Unfortunately, due to the sensitivity of the content, I can not post the actual files.

 No idea about the file duplication issue, but I think it has been mentioned in this forum.

With regard to editing originals, I've had instances when attempting to check images on very old jobs that have been archived on an external disk where I get a message "File not found". Is this what you are getting?

It even happens when the image in question is in the same folder as the Quark job that has been opened.

In my case I believe it is because there are too many folders between the desktop and the archived file on the external - maybe 15 folders in total, which gives a very long file path and file name. The solution is the same as yours - move the file to the desktop.

 Hope this is of some help!

 Thanks Phil, I'll try moving the files up a few directories on the server (Mac Xserve - Leopard).
