TICKET ARCHIVE -> quark file is now a unix executable file

James McC - Jan 19, 2006 - 9:51 am

One of our students has been storing his files on his ipod which he also connects to his windows pc at home. He came in today and reported that his quark 6 file has turned into a Unix Executable File which the Quark 6 installed on his classroom G4 won't recognise. Is there anything I can do to ressurect his file?

Oups, I think you can face difficulty to use the link above.

This is the content of the post

R:
Try adding the suffix .qxd to the file name, that usually resolves issues where the mac cannot determine the type of file.
It's generally good practise to use file extentions, particularly in cross-platform environments.
