Functionality within Quark is affected by the current tool mode (in both
scripting and the GUI). If the "drag" tool is active, you can select and
move a group, but you can't place an image into an element of the group. To
do so, you need the "contents" tool. You can change the active tool, like
this:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
set tool mode to contents mode
tell picture box 1
set image 1 to alias ³my:picture:file²
end tell
end tell
end tell
I have no idea why Quark crashes if the picture box is not selected. That
doesn't happen OMM (OS 10.4.8 and Quark 6.52) even when I replace an
existing image with one with a different extension.
I don't know if it would help version 6.5, but in earlier versions, dumping
Quark's preferences would often "fix" odd behavior. It can't hurt to try.
Quit Quark, dump the prefs, then relaunch--Quark will create all-new prefs.
They're in: ~/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Quark/
