Software Development Update: July 2026

Aug 3, 2026

DF Studio is pleased to announce that the following changes have been deployed to all accounts throughout this July. Up-to-date information on the latest releases can always be found in the Release Notes listing.

Enhancements

Messengers 
  • Messengers now display a Setups menu anytime a Messenger’s assets are sourced from more than one Setup. In cases where assets are sourced from multiple Projects, the Project name will be appended to the Setup name for clarity.
Metadata 
  • Named people are now included in file metadata (Person(s) Shown) alongside Key People.
Downloads & Transfers
  • The messaging in the Download overlay has been refined and visually refreshed to improve clarity.
Asset Workflows & Organization
  • The behavior and layout of the Asset Filters panels have been improved for greater consistency and ease of use.

Bug Fixes

Messengers
  • Patched a misconfiguration which could result in Messengers failing to send due to errors in the email address provided for the recipient.
  • Fixed an issue which could cause a non-functioning “Remove Asset” button to show up in the Messenger Inspector.
Uploads & Assignments
  • Resolved a bug which displayed the name of the Assignment creator in the Activity Monitor or asset history, instead of the uploader’s name.
Asset Workflows & Organization
  • Mitigated an anomaly which could cause the Setups filter to switch to “Multi” mode unintentionally.
  • Corrected a defect which allowed long, unbroken Project or Collection names to adversely affect the layout of the Activity Monitor display.
  • Rectified a problem which prevented proper use of the keyboard shortcuts for setting select levels or navigating within the proofsheet after adjusting asset filters.
  • Fixed a bug which could show a blank page when refreshing the view in 1-Up View with asset filters active.
  • Addressed an anomaly which allowed renaming an existing Setup using the reserved name “No Setup.”
  • Resolved a fault which could cause delays when conducting move operations involving very large sets of items.
