THE DF STUDIO INTERFACE
Dynamically Developed
We’re all about self-improvement. Releasing regular software updates ensures that we continue to develop in-demand features using the latest and greatest technology. Check out our product and tech blogs to see for yourself.
Software Development Update: April 2024
– The Metadata Inspector controls have been refreshed for readability, and the buttons for saving data or filtering the field list have been locked in place so they are accessible even when scrolling through the Inspector.
– Addressed a problem which could cause failures sending watermarked Messengers under certain conditions.
– Repaired a misconfiguration which prevented visual annotations from functioning as expected in Messengers.
– Fixed an issue which could cause the duplication of metadata values in certain fields when uploading multiple files into the same asset in a single operation.
Software Development Update: March 2024
– Custom metadata configurations now support metadata rules, which will alert users when attempting to save metadata changes that do not conform to the rules.
– The option to export asset metadata in tab-delimited format has been restored to the Export Metadata overlay.
– Share Links now include information about the DF Studio account from which they were shared.
– Date-related sorting options have been added to the “Arrange” feature in Collections.
– The Viewing Preferences overlay for Projects and Collections has been streamlined for more consistent behavior, clarity, and ease-of-use.
Software Development Update: February 2024
– The controls for configuring Messenger options have been adjusted for improved clarity.
– The Export Metadata overlay has been streamlined by removing the outdated “tab” formatting option.
– The behavior of the Viewing Preferences menu within Projects and Collections has been adjusted so that changes don’t take effect until the “Save” button is clicked.
– Fixed a bug which caused the “Edit Details” view to appear empty when adjusting a LIVE Messenger after sending.
Software Development Update: January 2024
– The options for configuring available file sizes in a Download Messenger have been adjusted for improved clarity.
– The drop-down menus for suggested metadata values have been adjusted to display multi-line text for longer values, rather than clipping the text after a certain length.
– Metadata exports will continue to include the DFS ID and asset filename as asset identifiers by default, but these columns can now be optionally omitted for workflows that require a different set of exported data.
– The menu and type-ahead search when selecting an existing Collection have been enhanced for reliability and performance.
Software Development Update: December 2023
– Primary asset identifiers (Asset Name and DFS ID) are now included any time metadata is exported to a text file.
– Project and Collection views have been updated to incorporate continuous scrolling, for a quicker, more seamless viewing and editing experience.
– The navigation performance in 1-Up view has been re-engineered for faster navigation with no delay in between the display of asset previews when moving rapidly through images.
– The loading of thumbnail previews when scrolling through proofsheet views has been accelerated, so that previews load immediately after scrolling stops.
