Opening a file in OS X and Quark


  • Subject: Opening a file in OS X and Quark

OS 10.2.2, Applecript 1.8.3, any version of Quark and ...

Using Script Editor 1.8.3 in Classic I can run the following script
successfully.

Using Script Editor 1.9 in OS X Quark activates and the script does nothing
else. The file does not open. The script is still running but just sits
there.


tell application "QuarkXPress3.32"
activate
set filepath to "HD:filename"
open file filepath
end tell

If I replace "QuarkXpress3.32" with "Finder" the file opens using Script
Editor 1.9 but you can not add options to the open command like "use doc
prefs".

Has anyone seen this same behavior or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance
Chris
