I'm working on a project in QX 6.5. I’ve imported a EPS file created in Illustrator CS. Here’s the funny thing: When I have the preview set to ‘full resolution’ I’m not able to double-click and get the window with ‘update’. Switch to ‘Low resolution’ and all is normal.

Anybody else notice this?

I've had the same problem for a while now. In my case it's not related to full res preview because I don't use it (too slow), and it seems to affect random imports.

Yea, it's damn slow. And my machine is a dual 2.5 with 2.5 GB RAM.

When do you get that behavior?

Quark hates our freedoms. I was having hell with Illustratior .eps files just yesterday. It gave me an error message when tried to display full resolution, then when I clicked okay, the size of the image changed on screen. (it became twice as big, but still looked low res.)

I was also having problems with the PSD import xtension, so I did a lot of tinkering, restarting, etc. I wish I knew what exactly made the problem go away. When I was able to get them to show at full res, moving them around was horribly slow. (dual 1.0 G4 1.5 gb RAM) Tap arrow key, wait 1-2 secs, img moves.

(psd import chokes on anything over 300 dpi, btw. and rather than saying "image too big" or something pertinent, you get an "invalid file type" message.)
