The XTension SpeedOpen 2.0.3 adds the following functions to QuarkXPress‚Ñ¢:
1. You can choose, whether all documents should be opened with their own settings or with those contained in the XPress preferences file. This avoids the QuarkXPress dialog indicating differences between document settings and XPress preferences.
2. SpeedOpen is able to automatically enable or disable the "Greek pictures" settings. This lets you open documents more quickly, because you don't have to wait for the display of the pictures. This feature is also helpful in cases where the picture data contained in the document is damaged, such that display of the pictures causes system errors.
3. SpeedOpen is able to automatically set the view size of a document to a predefined value. For example, you can open all documents in "Fit in Window" view, no matter in what view size the documents were last saved.
4. SpeedOpen is able to display a warning when you use a new version of QuarkXPress to open documents or libraries that have been last saved by an older version. Once you save such a document or library with the new version, it can not be opened in the older version anymore.
5. SpeedOpen lets you modify the language attribute of a document. You can use this feature to set the language of a document created by a different international version of QuarkXPress to the language of your QuarkXPress version. This avoids the warning about missing hyphenation when opening the document. Conversely, you can set a document that you've created to a different language and thus prepare it for use with different international versions of QuarkXPress.
For further explanations to features 1. to 4., please refer to the topic "SpeedOpen Settings". Details on feature 5. can be found under the topic "Hyphenation language".
