1413

Fixed a bug where existing jobs would be submitted for autoproofing again if the polling was turned off and on again when polling locally.

1415

Fixed a problem where Mac resource file with ._ would be displayed and autoproofed when using the Tiff 6 input filter.

1418

Fixed the importing of Preps 5 Signatures that were not importing correctly.

1419

Fixed a bug where the Client would not connect to the Server when it was running in safe mode.

1420

Fixed a problem where you could not edit hidden sections of Workbench items if editing from the QueueManager.

1421

Changed the publication list on submit dialog to remove the oldest. Previously it removed the newest publication entered.

1425

Fixed a problem where the Esc key saved changes instead of cancelling when the confirm changes dialog is displayed.

1430

Fixed a problem where some Dynastrip signatures failed to import.

1431

Fixed a Server crash caused by a Brisque imposition job referring to a page with no plates.

1432 / 1452

Fixed some PDF bugs where elements were missing or a section was missing, showing a white band.

1440

Fixed a bug with the Celebrant input filter where back impositions were not being picked up.

1447

Fixed a problem where popup editors would retain the show/hidden state of the Workbench items. i.e. if a section was hidden then it used to remain hidden when editing from the QueueManager.

1449

Fixed a problem where the imaged thumbnail ignored DotGain's on special colours.

1450

Fixed a bug where the Client would crash if you opened an archive with an ICC profile in it and re-saved it to the same name.

Fixed a bug where dragging a job from RIPMonitor with unassigned specials to a dropspot did not process. Now it displays a dialog to add to VirtualPress or Submit anyway.

1474

Fixed some problems where PDF's imaged incorrectly when objects had transparency/overprinting attributes. We now support multiple overprint objects.

1476

Fixed a bug where a PS job printed with corruption in the form of random lines if it was sent with less than the 4 process plates.

1478

Fixed a bug where LAB specials were affected by ICC when the "Apply ICC to CMYK Specials" was selected in the System Settings. Now LAB specials are not affected by this at all.

1480

Fixed a problem where a job printed with a special plate name enclosed in square brackets [] failed to render with the error "Problem passing dotgain curve for specials".

1482

Fixed a bug where a floating window could lose its title which would cause the Client to crash if it tried to reconnect to an existing or new Server.

1483

Extended the slugline accuracy correction field to 4 decimal places, which is the same as the pagesetup. Previously it rounded, causing small corrections not to be reflected in the slugline.

1487

Fixed a problem where a PDF had a non standard image mask that did not conform to Adobe standards and failed to image. This is now supported.

1488

Fixed a problem where tweak sets did not work on Slaves.

1493

Fixed a bug with the Archiver where DotGain curves applied to special colours (either replace colour sets or special colour sets) were not being archived and restored correctly.

Added a rendering effect to print the pagenumber as a watermark on the job. Useful for de-imposition jobs.

1423

Added extra support for Copydot files.

1424

1438

1441

Added an intensity control to adjust the tint value of a special colour.

1443

Added a zoom tool to the SoftProof application where you can zoom into a particular area. Also added a large navigator window for easier cropping and zooming, and shortcuts for zoom (Z), crop (M), measuring (L) and scrolling (H).

1444

Improved bi-cubic resampling when scaling up.

1446

Made the default page coverage for nesting to be 80% when creating a new output.

1462

Added the ability to overlay the signaure used for de-imposition over the job in SoftProof.

Added some checking in the Signature Group editor when selecting a page or more to see if it can be paired or grouped, and enable the relevant buttons. Previously, the buttons used to be available but sometimes click on them did nothing. Now only valid actions become available.

Enhanced the swatch editor further by selecting the colour just edited/added when going back to View mode.

1499

Added a default orientation mode for opening jobs in SoftProof.
