FileVista v8.0.18

Version 8.0.18 - August 31, 2020

• Fixed: A minor security issue.

• Fixed: Since v8.0.12, due to a security fix, viewing root folders or subfolders with names including some special characters caused an error.

• Fixed: Dropping a folder to itself, the folder disappeared on Azure file system (and strange behaviour on other file systems).
  "The destination folder X is a subfolder of the source folder Y" error will be shown as expected (it was broken).

• Improved: Center pane (MultiView) sometimes was not displaying thumbnails for some items (e.g when resizing the browser and then
  refreshing the folder). Improved CSS of MultiView so that it will be easier to override background color.

• Improved: Updated Media Player.

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v8.0.15

Version 8.0.15 - August 17, 2020

• Fixed: When sorting columns or starting upload, items disappeared from view in FileUploader on iOS browsers.

• Improved: Child windows including FileUploader on phones will now fit in the small screen.
  FileUploader bottom toolbar will be scrollable on small sizes.
  Navigation pane and ribbon pane are now responsive, they will collapse when "screen width < 500" and "screen height < 500" respectively.

• Improved: Better column resizing in "Details" view layout.
  On first render, columns will fit in the available space but then user can freely resize a column, i.e overflowing the available space
  will be allowed and the remaining columns will keep their size.

• Fixed: Minimized child windows were not aligned correctly at the bottom, after one of them was closed and then the parent was resized.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: When viewing Email formats (.eml, .msg), unnecessary "PageHeader:" header was rendered at the top.

  • Added: Italian and Polish translations.

  • Improved: Updated Russian translation.

  • Improved: Stability, performance for Email formats.

FileVista v8.0.10

Version 8.0.10 - July 10, 2020

  • Fixed: When viewing Email formats (.eml, .msg), message body with large inline images did not fit on page.
    Also timezone relative to UTC/GMT will be diplayed on "Sent" header field (e.g. UTC+03:00) for more clarity on server time (which did the conversion).

  • Improved: Stability, performance for Diagram formats.

FileVista v8.0.8

Version 8.0.8 - June 23, 2020

• Added: "File Extensions" checkbox to "View" ribbon tab of FileManager which can be useful to toggle showing of file extensions on the fly.
  This behaviour is normally controlled in "Application Settings" but now it can also be toggled directly in FileManager UI.

• Improved: FileUploadeder did not inherit some properties like showFileExtensions and viewCheckboxSelection from its owner FileManager.
  Now whenever you re-open FileUploader, it will reflect those changed properties from FileManager.

• Fixed: When using a physical root folder with AuthenticatedUser=Windows, intermittent "the handle is invalid" error occured while
  trying to impersonate before accessing PhysicalFileSystem. This happened because the access token retrieved from WindowsIdentity
  was not duplicated and when owner WindowsIdentity went out of scope (garbage collected), its access token was also being disposed.

• Fixed: "Import Users" dialog was not visually listing users when clicked on "Find All" due to a JS error (although the users were being
  sucessfully retrieved).
  Added tooltips so that long text in columnns and error details can be seen easily.
  When a user import fails "Import result" column will contain more details.
  Prevented error when "Full name" or "Description" columns had long characters (max is 50 and 100 chars respectively).
  These non-vital columns will be truncated when there are more characters than these limits.
  Note that Name and Email columns will still throw error if longer than 50 characters as they cannot be truncated (vital fields)

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: In mobile viewer, "Cannot delete annotations..." error occured when pressing backspace or del keys inside search field.

  • Improved: Perfected paddings in left side pane and no more unnessary horizontal scrollbar on IE and Edge.

FileVista v8.0.5

Version 8.0.5 - June 15, 2020

• Improved: Child windows will always maximize to browser's viewport instead of parent component.
  Minimized windows will be stacked also vertically when they do not fit parent component's width.
  Ensured minimized windows are aligned and sized correctly after parent component is hidden and then shown.

• Improved: Increased the default timeout for component actions (both client and server side) to 1 hour.
  For example deleting a huge folder from Azure file system can take long.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Improved: Removed unnecessary paddings and borders in left side pane and when notes panel is hidden, on the right side 20px
    placeholder should not be visible.

• Improved: Updated Media Player.

FileVista v8.0.2

Version 8.0.2 - June 3, 2020

• Improved: FileManager will generate higher quality thumbnails (without artifacts) for image files containing an EXIF thumbnail in
  "Large icons", "Medium icons" and "Tiles" view layouts. Note that this does not effect "Extra large icons" view layout or images without
  an EXIF thumbnail, because in those cases, higher quality thumbnails were already generated.

• Added: Better child window management. Minimized windows will be stacked neatly at the bottom like a taskbar (no more on top of each other).
  Ensured position and size for minimized, restored, maximized states are always correct (e.g. when parent component is resized).
  Tooltips for long titles on minimized windows.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Auto exif orientation for multi-page TIFFs, only first frame was being rotated.

  • Improved: Stability, performance for conversion of raster image files to Portable formats.

FileVista v8.0.0

Version 8.0.0 - May 22, 2020

• Changed: License keys are changed so please go to https://www.gleamtech.com/upgrade and acquire a new license key if you want to use this version (or higher). If your one year maintenance has not ended, you will receive a new free license key on the same page.

• Added: New "Application Title" setting in "Application Settings" for changing default title "FileVista" shown on login and other pages.

• Improved: New UI for header (top bar) on main page. Planning to update UI for administration panel on next versions.

• Fixed: Slow login in some cases due to SQL query for root folder's access controls running slow (or execution timeout error).

• Improved: Media Player:

  • "Details" tab will be shown on "Media Format Error" dialog for more details on why the video could not be played.
    Also an error dialog will be shown on other errors (e.g. no internet connection).

  • Perfected the player UI (e.g. time slider colors and knob size).

  • Added playback speed control.

• Improved: Updated turkish language file.

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v7.36.0

Version 7.36.0 - January 24, 2020

• Fixed: After updating to 7.35.5 and running you may have received an error due to invalid value in database ("KB" for MaxZipFileSize in Setting table).

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Viewing some files (or converting when hosted on IIS) caused StackOverflowException. The viewer would only show "Status: error"
    message without details as it was not possible to catch this exception. This was expecially reproducable for PDFs with signed certificates.
    IIS (also IIS Express) reduces the regular 1 MB stacksize to 512KB (and to 256 KB on 32-bit w3wp.exe) and this caused some conversions to
    fail with this exception.
    This is now prevented. If current thread's stack size is lower than the required stack size, a new thread will be created with the required
    stack size and the conversion will be done inside this thread to prevent StackOverflowException.

  • Improved: DocumentCache will from now on consider zero-sized cached files as not existing because they are usually left overs from failed
    old cache attempts. For example some exceptions are not catch-able like StackOverflowException so sometimes it may not be possible to cleanup
    a newly created zero-sized cache file before the process exists.
    This will prevent "Downloading file part error occured and could not get the reason." error when a conversion was not working before but
    it was fixed later (a zero-sized cached file will trigger a re-conversion).

• Improved: New product icon for installer and new favicon for web application. Also made sure favicon is loaded even if FileVista is
  installed to a subdirectory (e.g. contoso.com/filevista).

• Improved: Updated installer.
