I also was thinking to do this but I didn't find how to do it.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
copy "" to pathLog
if document 1 exists then
tell document 1
repeat with i from 1 to (the number of every picture box)
if (file path of image 1 of picture box i as string) * "null" then
copy file path of image 1 of picture box i to filepath
copy pathLog & filepath & return to pathLog
end if
end repeat
end tell
end if
end tell
With the script above I tried (and I got) to get the path of every image on the
QX-spread and I get following results:
If the Volume - where the HiRes-Picture are - was mounted I got the full path
If it was not mounted, I got as result the volume name together with the
picture name and not something like an error.
Asking the modification date of one image, I always got the creating date as
modification date... (???)
Do you know how I can check in QX (3.32), if images in a document are missing
or modified?
Thanks for helping :)

That would be nice, but it doesn't work that way. You will have to check for
