I think omni used to do that kind of crappy crash reporting too. Its horror stories like this which make me happy I put print behind me, though flash is the new quark.

Beta removed, icons back to QX 6.5 imagery. Crash with files persists.

Cs2?

I'm desperately behind the times when it comes to InDesign. Can you now import Quark documents created in QX6.5? Thx.

Yep, I installed it >> DUMB << and it changed my icons, but everything seems OK on this end. I hope they clean it up before it releases.

no I don't think you can A-D. Actually I was saying CS2 has been reported to do drive corruption on macs too, it could be related, but who knows?

I think you'll want to look elsewhere for your culprit, art_director. Since I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else, the Quark beta seems unlikely to have been the cause.

I now have six documents that were fine prior to the beta being installed. Still not blaming that beta but the timing of the issue is uncanny.

I think I had the same problem, we have 50K+ quark 6 docs, installed 7 on one machine today 3 corrupt docs, uninstalled already. Seems like a decent upgrade (for a Quark product) I…

Oh I wouldn't put it past this to be purely quarks fault. In fact, I'd bet on it. However ya never know.

No, InDesign can't open 6.5 files as far as I know, it can only open 4.x (or earlier probably). First of all, I'd say the problem is that you're using Quark, period. But that's me…

Yeah, I have known more files to be corrupted by Quark 6 than the Quark 7 beta.

Strange that the OP did not mention *what* files are becoming corrupted. Regardless this is a beta and nobody should install it on a partition with irreplaceable data. That being s…
