![]() ![]() Prior to upgrading to Quark 2015 I followed the sales reps explanation for navigating the Quark website, I "opted in" to receive the 'newsletter and communications'. As a registered Quark user since 1989, I used to get an occasional newsletter from Quark, but hadn't since around last January. I have yet to to receive one single notification from them, despite registering for 'newsletters and communications'. It would be nice of Quark actually let QX 2015 owners know, but I wouldn't hold your breath. So it is up to Quark and Extensis to work out a patch. (It will copy it there)Īfter you quit and relaunch Quark, and open the legacy Quark file, the correct typeface will show up again as expected now. So you will need to activate them manually by dragging the font you want to use into the OS X > Library > Fonts Folder. So Suitcase will no longer 'auto activate' the fonts you are using. Quark tech support, if you can find them, know nothing of this issue as I can find.Įxtensis tech support explained that in Suitcase Fusion 6, under "manage plugins", uncheck the Quark boxes. He says Quark and Extensis know about this but he does not know who will be addressing it. Opening legacy (Quark 10 or earlier) files in Quark 2015 in OX 10.11 El Capitan displays empty text boxes.Įxtensis tech support says it is related to the auto font activation feature (plug-in) in Suitcase 6 when used with Quark 2015. This is a known problem AFTER the Quark 2015 v11.2 update. They explained to me that there is a "known issue" with El Capitan that Quark and Extensis know about. But DiskWarrior 5.3 should have been released many months ago, as said above.Ĭonclusion: if DiskWarrior 5.3 is not released, much less DiskWarrior 6.I just got off the phone with Extensis (Suitcase Fusion 6) tech support. Either Apple discloses all information and API, or there is no way to make a reliable rebuild of APFS disks. Reverse engineering does not work here, because it could have catastrophic consequences. So, maybe we see it, or maybe it will be never released. Someone has some insider information? Lives nearby and can check if Rusty Little still works at Alsoft?ĭiskWarrior 6 is other beast, since it should rebuild the directory of APFS disks, which depends on Apple releasing all required documentation and API. The main one is Rusty Little (Project Manager). It does not make sense that it has not been released yet, except if key engineers have left Alsoft for some reason (coronavirus? underpaid? accident? passed away?). And then again saying that it was in testing phase on January 2021. But this open-endedness and incapacity to again and again meet their promises and projections has turned a once reliable brand into the last thing one would want to have to rely on…ĭiskWarrior 5.3 to rebuild the directory of HFS+ as native application on ARM-based Apple Silicon Macs was announced to be released soon on November 2020. I still remember Disk Warrior, many years ago, doing what no other piece of software could. Although of course I’ll take it if it’s all I can get… I also don’t want the mess of recovery: I spend time organizing my media and video footage to keep all accessible and easy to locate: getting a thousand random files would be a nightmare. It’s like the drive just slipped away from me for no reason. I ‘m upgrading my old license of TechToolPro after reading you guys here, and will try that. If this was an HFS+ volume, I bet first aid could’ve fixed it. First aid did report errors with it but didn’t fail the process and in any case I had no problems with that partition. I‘m great with backups of my SSD, but this was a fairly new drive where I’d recently put lots of personal files that I hadn‘t yet backed up anywhere else… The drive was partitioned into 2 volumes, APFS and HFS+ for time machine. I wish First Aid would recommend I backup the drive before wrecking it. After “First Aid”, which ran for a few minutes before quitting and telling me it failed, and recommending I “backup the drive”, it no longer mounts, and its name even has disappeared. ![]() Beforehand the drive was mountable and I just didn’t realize the severity of the damage. ![]() I then ran “First Aid“ on it which I deeply regret. ![]() When I checked It, I noticed several folders were missing. I had the drive plugged in my new MacBook and all of a sudden I got a message saying the drive “kept disconnecting”, which I thought was strange, since that didn’t seem to be the case. My brand new MacBook Pro M1 corrupted an APFS drive that’s still fairly new and never gave me problems on my intel Mac. Disc Warrior 6.0 is *still* unavailable! To you guys who tout the sturdiness of APFS, let me say this: I’m glad for you that you’ve been lucky so far. ![]()
