Open the Folder Containing a Picture in QuarkXPress
Here’s a helpful tip for Mac users:
The Edit Original feature in QuarkXPress is handy for instantly editing a picture in its original application — just double-click the picture. However, there’s a helpful-yet-hidden feature that lets you open the folder containing the picture, without opening the picture file itself.
Just choose Utilities> Usage and click on the Show button while holding down the Command key. The Finder will then open the folder and highlight the graphic file.
Here’s another hidden feature: if you want to copy the information in the More Information box, just select it and press Command-C (Windows: Ctr-C). You can then paste it into any application.
