Dropbox uploads, updated filename format for automatic Setups

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

Enhancements

Messengers

• Large previews can now be included in Messengers configured with the Approval or View templates.
• The configuration options for downloadable files have been adjusted to improve clarity.

Metadata

• The Star Rating field has been improved in the search overlay, to make it easier to configure the desired range of values for matching.
• Informative alerts have been added to improve clarity when specific custom metadata fields fail validation.
• Helper tooltips have been added to the icons in the custom editing panel for the Person/Role metadata field in order to make the controls more intuitive.

Uploads & Assignments

• Files can now be uploaded to DF Studio directly from a folder within a Dropbox account.
• The default filename pattern for generating automatic Setups during upload has been adjusted to capture all of the filename before the first underscore character (_).

Account Management

• The lists of users in the DF Studio settings screen can now be sorted by clicking the headers atop any column.

Asset Workflows & Organization

• The Activity Monitor is now displayed as an overlay, allowing it to be viewed without interrupting the current workflow context. It can also be opened in a separate browser window.
• Files View has been updated to incorporate continuous scrolling, to match the other Project and Collection views.

Bug Fixes

Messengers

• Fixed an issue which caused Messengers to appear under the “Active” filter in the Messenger tab for a period of time after they had been submitted by their recipients.
• Resolved a bug which affected the styling of certain metadata fields in Metadata Messengers.

Asset Workflows & Organization

• Corrected a defect which caused the “refresh” icon to be missing from its place alongside the name of a Collection in the Navigation Path.
• Mitigated an anomaly which allowed certain keyboard shortcuts to remain active when an overlay was displayed, taking action on the content behind the overlay itself.
• Fixed a bug which prevented the bookmark functionality in the Recent menu from working as expected.
• Rectified a problem which displayed the “Recognize” button in the Asset Inspector when selecting multiple assets that had already been processed by People Recognition.
• Patched an error which caused the disclosure state of the section dividers in the right-hand Inspector sidebar to be reset by refreshing the page in certain circumstances.
• Addressed a problem which could cause a folder to be opened but not selected in Column View if another item were selected while the folder was in the process of opening.
