Feature Release: Navigation refinements, watermarked PDF output

Aug 2024

Version 2024.1

The latest software update from DF Studio is now being deployed to all accounts. This version enhances the 1-Up view to improve the consistency of selections, provides updated functionality when generating PDF proofsheets, and also incorporates visual updates, performance enhancements, and fixes for minor issues. As always, please reach out to DF Studio’s support team with any feedback or questions about this update.

Enhancements

Account Management
  • The Settings page for managing DF Studio Teams and user accounts has been overhauled to provide clearer navigation and more information, as well as filtering and exporting data.
  • Notifications and alerts presented when configuring API Credentials or Application Passwords have been refined for clarity.
Asset Workflows & Organization
  • When switching perspectives between Thumbnails View and 1-Up/2-Up View, asset selections are properly maintained.
  • The zoom tool in the 1-Up and 2-Up perspectives has been enhanced so that higher zoom levels are achievable on images with sufficient resolution.
  • When adding multiple consecutive assets to a selection (holding the Shift key while clicking an asset or pressing arrow keys on the keyboard), the selection now expands more intuitively based on the existing selection.
  • To help prevent accidental data corruption, an alert will appear when multiple DF Studio views are open simultaneously in the same web browser.
  • Menus in the menu bar have been updated so that they are more usable in circumstances where the width of the web browser window causes them to appear narrowed.
  • The navigation filmstrip in 1-Up View and 2-Up View has been redesigned to be more usable in Projects and Collections containing very few assets.
  • DF Studio pages are now better able to detect when a user’s session has expired, prompting the user to log in and begin a new session before performing any additional work.
Collaboration
  • PDF proofsheets generated for printing may now include watermarked images.
  • PDF proofsheets can now be generated (with watermarked images required) in contexts where Visual Screen Protection (VSP) is active.
  • A new 6-Up layout option has been added to the PDF proofsheet export.

Bug Fixes

Selects & Approvals
  • Adjusted configurations so that the options for sharing or locking Edits are always presented in the same order when creating or modifying Edits.
Metadata
  • Fixed an issue which could cause metadata values in fields such as XMP:Rating to be overwritten with blank values when uploading additional files to the asset stack.
  • Resolved a bug which omitted the total asset count of the current Project or Collection from the Metadata overlay.
Account Management
  • Mitigated an anomaly which caused an error when clicking “Mark Selected as Read” in the Inbox with multiple items selected.
Asset Workflows & Organization
  • Patched a misconfiguration which caused the 1-Up preview image to be partially covered by the Asset Inspector in some cases when expanding the Asset Inspector.
  • Addressed an error which could cause unexpected results when attempting to navigate assets using keyboard shortcuts after using the filter menus.
  • Corrected a defect which required a page to be refreshed in order to update the background color, if adjusting the viewing preferences in 1-Up View or 2-Up View.
  • Rectified a problem which could result in unwanted behavior when holding down the space bar with an asset selected.
  • Resolved an issue which caused selected Projects from becoming deselected when navigating multiple pages in a Library view.
  • Fixed a defect which mistakenly referred to files as “assets” in Files View.
