Quark today
announced an upgrade to QuarkDMS, it's asset management and publishing
system. The new version, 1.5, includes a revamped interface on
both Mac and Windows, designed to improve workflow with new features
like the ability to set attributes of multiple files or folders
with a single action. It also gains support for contextual menus
for common tasks and the ability to drag and drop assets or folders
to the desktop.
QuarkDMS 1.5 also introduces "collections," a new asset type that
organizes all the information and assets for a project or publication,
providing a way to group assets associated with catalog products
or design projects.
Other new features include:
- E-mail
notification for asset routing;
- Ability
to send assets as attachments;
- Two new
modules for Web client access and image editing functionality
(actually released prior to 1.5);
- Ability
to import XML files into the project hierarchy;
- Improved
conversion of QuarkXPress text.
QuarkDMS 1.5
is a free upgrade for customers with a maintenance contract. For
