on a MacPro, running 10.5.1, using Quark 7.31 -- when I open and try to re-save a QX 6 file as QX 7, sometimes the file is saved with some extraneous characters in the name and is then corrupt -- it crashes Quark if I try to open it.
I've tried to work around it by copying everything from my QX 6 files into a new QX 7 page, then saved the new files with very short names. For the past few days this has worked well, but it happened again today on a file I created with a name only 21 characters long. Oddly enough, this file -- as some of the others -- was saved just fine with this name, but a second, corrupted file with extra characters in the name, was saved as well but the time stamp for the corrupt file is one minute earlier than the good file. I only saved the file once and immediately closed it. Only later did I notice the corrupt file.
I stopped using slashes and changed to a dash in file names when I migrated to OSX, but does anyone know if any other characters should not be used in file names. The file corrupted today had an ellipsis in its name. Some of the files corrupted earlier had dashes in the names.
So far, I've not had any similar problems with Illustrator or Photoshop files, the only other programs I've used.
If anyone has any experience with this problem I'd appreciate any insight you could provide.
