ScriptLine Properties >

Backup before Saras

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page  

Property of the ScriptLine : Post-Processing.

 

When this property is set to true, Q++ makes a copy of the output file with the extension .QX_ (instead of the usual QXD for QuarkXPress files), before performing any Saras in the current Script. This property is useful if are having problems generating the output you want, and wish to decide if the problem lies with the diary generation or the Saras performed afterwards.

 

Note that setting this property to true will introduce a lag of a few seconds at the beginning of the Saras processing, as a copy of the output file has to be made. This effect is particularly noticeable if your output file is located on the Q++ Server and your network is slow.

 

This backup copy is placed in the same directory as the output file. You can then compare these 2 files either manually, or using the Quark File Comparison module.

 

If there are no Saras to perform in the current script, then the value of this property is irrelevant. You can define default values to be used for this property whenever creating a new script, by using the Execution Options preferences.
