INSTALLING XTENSIONS MODULES
GETTING STARTED WITH QUARKXPRESS 2019 | 7
Installing XTensions modules
QuarkXPress ships with a default set of XTensions modules. You can also install
additional XTensions software developed by Quark or by third-party companies.
Most XTensions come in two parts, one file for the functionality of the XTensions
module, and another file for its user interface. The name of the user interface
module typically ends in “UI”. XTensions modules that do not have any user
interface do not have to have a UI file.
macOS
QuarkXPress 2019 is released as an “App Bundle” for macOS. In order to make this
possible, all the supporting folders, including the default XTensions, have been
moved inside the self-contained app bundle. QuarkXPress 2019 will load third party
XTensions from the following two locations:
~/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2019/XTensions •
/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2019/XTensions •
If the XTension is placed in the main library path, it will be available to all the users
on that Mac. If deployed in the user’s library path, the XTension will only be
available to that particular user. If the same XTension exists in both of these
locations, then the one in the user’s library location will get the precedence.
The XTensions must be placed in one of these folders for QuarkXPress2019 to load 
them. Do not make a change in the QuarkXPress app bundle. Newly installed
XTensions modules will load the next time you launch.
The XTensions Disabled folder was deprecated with QuarkXPress 2019 on Mac 
and will no longer be supported. The disabled XTensions will be recorded in the
following file: ~/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress
2019/XTSettings.plist.
Windows
To install XTensions modules on Windows, place them in the XTensions folder
within your application folder. Newly installed XTensions modules will load the
next time you launch.
