Keep document open
(sessions)
In earlier versions of QuarkXPress Server Manager, the software opened a QuarkXPress project,
performed a function, and then closed the project. To avoid the delays involved in repeatedly opening
and closing a QuarkXPress project, QuarkXPress Server Manager can now keep QuarkXPress
projects open until they need to be closed.
To keep projects open for a set period of time, you can now create a session and then open one or
more projects in that session. You can specify a timeout interval while creating the session. If the session
is not used during the interval, all open projects in that session are closed.
An open project can be modified and saved at any time during the process. An open project can even
be saved at another location relative to the QuarkXPress Server document pool. You can also create a
new project and keep it open.
For an example of session management, see the dynamicfit scripting sample included with QuarkXPress
Server Manager. The dynamicfit script opens a session, opens a QuarkXPress project, and modifies a
text box until the text in it fits. To see the dynamicfit script, launch QuarkXPress Server Manager
Scripting Environment and open the dynamicfit scripting sample.
