Product Description:

One of the things we found ourselves doing all the time when scripting Quark was iterating through all the boxes in the document ungrouping boxes.

If you've ever tried doing that yourself you'll know it can be like trying to knit spaghetti.

To alleviate the pain and boredom that doing this manually can cause, we created this extension to do it for us and were pleasantly surprised at just how much faster it is than looping through boxes in Applescript.

Activated from the Utilities menu or via a simple Applescript tell application "QuarkXPress" to ungroup all boxes, the XTension will ungroup everything in the frontmost open document.

Just what I've been looking for, for batching through Quark files automatically. There are other free XTensions (Visions Edge) which do this but they're not scriptable so whilst a "nice to have" for batch automation they're useless.

Only complaint/request is "will there be a Quark 8 version?"
