when your system keeps crashing and the work can't get out because something in Gluon ProPack crashes Quark call tech support and get their answering service. Really nice product when it does not shred your work. I have used Gluon products for years and they keep getting less reliable. We stopped using their slugger as it kept crashing quark files in the middle of our production cycle. The advertising agency i work for needs files going out, not crash and burn. Cropster is the best of the Quark plugins ever. I wish it was reliable. Slugger is a problem for us and the other toys are not used often, if at all. No plugin is expected to be trouble free, but calling tech support when the file is on deadline and the system crashes with the plugins and their response is to send in an email request that can be forwarded on the tech support should give you pause before your buy. When they tell you "it" was fixed in the new version, just remember they have said that before.

the comment here is — beware.

No tips are required to trouble shoot my system, thank you and good luck.
