For immediate release to all the people of world:
Get Quark 6, it correctly returns the bounds of image 1 regardless of the file type.

But then you open a whole other can of worms. And slow worms, at that.
The world has moved on...

Shane, don't think for a minute that I advocate Quark.
Scripting it pays my mortgage, but I have no love for it.

When you say the world has moved on, do you mean they don't return the bounds of images anymore or do you mean they don't use Quark.

I'm in the middle of evaluating ID3 vs QX6. What I decide will be put on 40 people's macs. They're going to hate either one, and hate me too. They're still screaming along in OS9.

You say QX6 is a can of slow worms, so is just about everything I've tested.
MS Excel and Extensis Portfolio are two huge offenders. Their worms aren't slow, they're stuck.
Things got better with Jaguar, and again with Panther, but an old OS9 box still blows everything away when doing thousands of repetitive tasks.



} Where'd you get the coconuts?
} We found them.
} Found them? In Mercea? The coconut's tropical!
} What do you mean?
} Well, this is a temperate zone.
