![]() This qualifier is only useful when multiple ODBC managers are present, in order to avoid having to choose one in the Open ODBC Connection… dialog. For example, would specify OpenLink’s (OS X-native) manager while would specify Data Direct’s (Carbon) manager. Added a new DD field qualifier, ^".", where an ODBC driver manager library may be specified.When both a Data Direct and an OpenLink manager are available, the user will be prompted to select one in the Open ODBC Connection… dialog if a manager hasn’t been specified in the DD. When only one of these managers is available, it will be used as the default manager. Support for Data Direct and OpenLink driver managers is built-in. Added support for multiple ODBC managers, selectable from the Open ODBC Connection… dialog, the DD (see new “^” qualifier, below), or via a script parameter.The data linker has grown to accomodate both OS X’s anti-aliasing and full-width key and field edit areas, and also sports new interactive update icons in place of the old buttons (to save space and to match InCatalog’s UI).Īlso, the linker palette elements are generally disabled rather than removed, when they’re not available.Added back support for the Merant 3.5 ODBC driver set.Xcatalog now properly supports long filenames (longer than 31 characters).The qualifier will now be honored when used in a DD map entry, so that you can specify both the field/column and the database/table in a map.Before, an update of such an image would reset the picture clipping to Item. Picture updating has been adjusted to work more like QuarkXPress’s own Get Picture…, so that images containing a default clipping path are loaded with that clipping path selected.Previously, this was reversed such that full resolution previews were created when the option was not checked. Image previews are now generated at “full” resolution (72dpi) when Import pictures with full resolution preview is checked in the Update Document from Data preference panel, and at half resolution (36dpi) when it’s not checked.Xcatalog will no longer crash when extracting as tagged text and the text has “No Style” applied for both paragraph and character formatting.The ODBC login dialog is no longer displayed when it isn’t required.For example, running either update document using file "Macintosh HD:mydata.csv" or update data using file "Macintosh HD:newdatafile.txt" will no longer produce a missing parameter error. A scripted file path no longer needs to be converted to an alias before sending it to Xcatalog, and file paths specifying data files to be created no longer fail.Added a new Character set: preference ( Macintosh or Windows) in the Data snapshot preferences.Additionally, locked layers are now undisturbed (skipped) during Xcatalog document updates. The Ignore Hidden Layers option now supports Quark’s native layers.A doubled quote character followed by the end-of-field character no longer produces a spurious end-of-field.Xcatalog now supports the QuarkXPress Tags indexing tags (, , and ) in tagged text fields, in both directions.E.g., a key field with value “1” will no longer potentially and confusingly match a database key field value “11” (since FileMaker was testing for containment, not equality), but only a database key field with the exact value “1”. (We surmise they fixed some scripting bugs but didn’t document them.)Įven better, under FileMaker Pro 7, key lookups now work properly for the first time in history. Xcatalog now supports FileMaker Pro 7, though it appears that versions before 7.0v2 didn’t work properly.Xcatalog now features a whole new, much improved manual.And we’ve dropped all support for QuarkXPress 3.x, which was replaced about a decade ago. Xcatalog is now a fully native QuarkXPress 6.x XTension.Before, it would assume the “99” was the whole part. E.g., when updating “.99”, Xcatalog will now properly understand the whole part to be “” (empty) and the fractional part to be “99”. When updating unstyled prices (text links marked as prices but with style “None”), Xcatalog is no longer fooled by an initial decimal point.I.e., if you track or kern your prices, you no longer have to worry about Xcatalog seeing the character property change as a whole/fractional break point. When extracting styled price data, Xcatalog now ignores tracking as well as kerning changes. ![]() When prompting for a data descriptor file ( Select Data Descriptor…),Xcatalog now recognizes text-like file extensions, regardless of the file’s actual type.When prompting for a data snapshot file ( Open Data File…), Xcatalog now recognizes text-like file extensions, regardless of the file’s actual type.The Open Data File… and Create Data File… operations no longer hang with a spinning beachball when used in QuarkXPress 6.5.These release notes cover the entire Xcatalog 4/6 series.
