JOB JACKETS
The default Job Jackets file
When QuarkXPress is installed, a default Job Jackets file (containing a default Job
Ticket template) named “DefaultJacket.xml” is installed as well in the location
specified in the Job Jackets pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu).
When you create a project by choosing File > New > Project, the following things
happen:
QuarkXPress makes a copy of this default Job Jackets file (named “Default Job
Jackets”) and embeds it in the new project. The embedded Job Jackets structure
is named “[filename] Job Jackets.”
In the embedded Job Jackets structure, QuarkXPress creates a Job Ticket from the
default Job Ticket template (named “Default Job Ticket”). The new Job Ticket is
named “[filename] Ticket.”
QuarkXPress associates the Job Ticket in the embedded Job Jackets structure with
the new project.
You can use the default Job Jackets file to control the Resources that are used in new
QuarkXPress projects. You can also edit the default Job Ticket template that is used
by projects created via File > New > Project. This topic explains both procedures.
You cannot store a new Job Ticket in the default Job Jackets file. For more
information, see “Creating a project from a Job Ticket template.”
