Script to change Layout name to Project name - Quark 6

Here is a script that will make the Layout name the same as the Project name. Copy and paste into Script Editor, then save it into Quark's Scripts folder.

tell application "QuarkXPress"
repeat with i from 1 to count of project
tell project i
set ProjectName to name
if (count of layout space) = 1 then
set name of layout space 1 to ProjectName
save
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Thanks, DCurry!

I find that to a very annoying feature that Quack has. I understand
what it's for, but it doesn't apply to what I do.

Forgive me, but what is Script Editor? Is it part of the OS?

I have never had a use for this "feature" of Quark, I'd like to try this script.

HD -> Applications -> Applescript -> Script Editor

I think I saved it out as an Application and put it in Quark's Special folder,
which is inside the Scripts folder.

Works a treat!

Any ideas?

How can we get that to be a keyboard shortcut?
That would be the "Icing on the Cake" for this litttle trick!

Love it either way though!
