FileVista v9.1.3

Version 9.1.3 - October 9, 2024

• Fixed: Preview windows were not showing loading animation for iframe when necessary.
  For example, when previewed with DocumentViewer first time the application started, it could took some time
  for DocumentUltimate to initialize, so until you saw DocumentViewer's own loading animation, you saw a blank page
  which gave an impression like nothing was loaded but though after few seconds DocumentViewer was displayed.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Improved: Updated PDF.js libray to 4.6.82 for stability and performance.
  • Added: Highlight text annotation tool (on vertical toolbar).
  • Fixed: Vertical toolbar had 1px extra width and did not align with top toolbar button.
  • Fixed: Positioning of toolbar menus, so that they are positioned correctly e.g. when there is scrollbar inside vertical toolbar.
  • Improved: Sizing of Document Properties dialog to make it more readable, especially when using large UI sizing.
  • Improved: Find dialog is beautified to make it more readable.
  • Improved: When toolbars or sidebar is hidden with permissions, other UI parts should fill the gaps correctly.

FileVista v9.1.2

Version 9.1.2 - October 4, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: In thumbnail view, when there are few thumbnails like 2 or 3, they should not be vertically centered (avoid large gaps).
  • Fixed: Setting DocumentViewer.ZoomLevel property was not working. Normally when it's set to a non-zero percentage value,
    that should override the DocumentViewer.ZoomMode property.

FileVista v9.1.1

Version 9.1.1 - September 9, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: Thumbnail view scrolling was not synchronized to the document scrolling.
    So when scrolling the document, current page's thumbnail should scroll into the view automatically.

FileVista v9.1.0

Version 9.1.0 - September 1, 2024

• Improved: Use file extension arrays instead of enumerating image and documents formats so that FileManager is displayed
  faster when the page is first accessed (on application startup). Enumerating formats to find Document Viewer and Image Viewer support,
  triggered loading of native DLLs, which should be delayed to when they are actually used.

• Improved: Disabling Download permission in an access control will also disable DocumentViewer's DownloadAsPdf action.
  In the past we allowed DownloadAsPdf as the user could already print the document and save as PDF but it makes more sense
  to disable it to prevent confusion as it has "Download" word in it.
  So currently;
  Disabling Download permission -> disables DocumentViewerPermissions.Download and DocumentViewerPermissions.DownloadAsPdf
  Disabling Print permission -> disables DocumentViewerPermissions.Print and DocumentViewerPermissions.SelectText

• Fixed: Since v9.0.0, when clicking "Download Original" button in DocumentViewer, the download dialog prompted
  to save "SessionExpired.html" instead of the actual file. This was caused by stateId being overwritten by FileManager.

• Fixed: Embedded resource overriding from App_GlobalResources folder was broken since v9.0.0.
  For example custom language files put under App_GlobalResources, were not being loaded.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Improved: PDF conversions are now faster and more accurate. Support high-load environments.
  • Improved: DocumentViewer will show generic subfolders for attachments that has path info in PDF portfolio files.
  • Fixed: Signatures in some PDF files were removed in conversions and thus were not visible in DocumentViewer.
  • Fixed: "Full Screen" menu item should not be visible on mobile devices just like "Presentation Mode".

• Improved: Delete legacy folders and left-over temporary files under GleamTechConfiguration.TemporaryFolder on startup.

FileVista v9.0.4

Version 9.0.4 - August 17, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: Changing to other languages other than english was not working since v9.0.2 due to a change in pdfjs.

FileVista v9.0.3

Version 9.0.3 - August 6, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: Attempt to fix intermittent UnauthorizedAccessException in DocumentCache for .lock files.
    This issue is hard to replicate, but in our tests we didn't the observe it again after some locking fixes.
    Let us know if you still get this error intermittently:
    Access to the path "[DocumentCache]:\lock-1hshdfqw44gb5w44gb5~lpnqmy.json.lock" is denied due to insufficient permissions.
    Please make sure the current windows identity "computer\user" has the required permissions on the path.

FileVista v9.0.2

Version 9.0.2 - July 30, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Improved: Updated pdfjs libray to 4.5.136 for stability and performance.

  • Fixed: In older browsers some toolbar icons did not display correctly (required old CSS property -webkit-mask-image).

  • Fixed: When DocumentViewer.DisplayMode is set to Panel, resizing handles did not work correctly.

  • Fixed: DocumentViewer's progress bar for download progress was not showing (should be shown after preparing document is completed).

FileVista v9.0.0

Version 9.0.0 - July 22, 2024

• 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.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Added:: New redesigned Document Viewer with new modern UI and new features.
    We now based our Document Viewer on the best PDF viewer "pdfjs".

    pdfjs is a great open-source project which is frequently updated and
    new features are being added to, however looks-wise it's ugly, or
    maybe let's say it looks outdated. How about getting the latest
    PDF features and fixes from pdfjs but having a slick look on the presentation side?

    Our pdf viewer is unobtrusive, we don't directly change code of pdfjs,
    we just include pdfjs in an iframe and at runtime override HTML, JS and CSS
    to offer a slick modern look and better ui structure and usability and new features.
    This way we can always update pdfjs to the latest version easily and
    get all bug fixes and improvements.

    Other pdf viewers based on pdfjs usually don't update the default look,
    and the ones that does usually miss functionality due to separating
    into components but partially implementing them or offer a bad/partial API.

  • Added: Document Viewer now supports 3 built-in themes: "slate", "classic-light", "classic-dark".
    When two values separated by comma is set, the second value will be the dark theme.
    Dark theme is used when a user indicates their preference through an operating system setting (e.g. light or dark mode) or a user agent setting.
    When single value is provided, dark theme is disabled, i.e. the only provided theme will be used always even when user prefers dark mode.
    Note that you can emulate prefers-color-scheme via browser's F12 dev tools to test dark mode which is normally activated according to user's OS preferences.

  • Improved: Mobile viewer is removed, instead same viewer will use large UI sizing for mobile devices.
    DocumentViewer.MobileMode property now specifies on which mobile device type to use large UI sizing.
    Note that device features are not detected, instead browser's viewport size is used to decide the UI sizing.
    So if you manually resize the browser window (or emulate a device via browser's F12 dev tools),
    phone or tablet size can be triggered.

  • Added: Document Viewer now supports 111 language files which are bundled with pdfjs project.
    However for some few custom text which are not inside those language files,
    DocumentViewer.Translations property is used to override.

  • Improved: As our new Document Viewer is PDF based, we only need one conversion step from now on,
    i.e. we no longer need the second step PDF -> XPZ, we will not need XPZ format and we will display PDF format directly.
    This will improve the stability and performance of Document Viewer beause some reported errors
    mostly occured when converting specific documents to XPZ format in second step.
    Converting to PDF in first step was usually stable.
    This will solve most of the weird native DLL crashes.
    In later versions, we will also try to ditch native DLL and go full managed for conversion to PDF.
    DocumentCache will trim unused .xpz files over time so you don't need to remove them manually.

  • Changed: For supporting new modern UI, browser requirements are changed.
    Browsers released in the last 2 years are okay, e.g. Chrome 98+, Safari 16.4+
    Legacy browsers like IE are no longer supported.

• Fixed: Scrollbars appearing in MessageBox when device pixel ratio is different than 1 e.g. when windows display scale is 125 percent.

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v8.9.21

Version 8.9.21 - May 3, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: DocumentViewer.MobileMode will be treated correctly. When OnAny (default value) mobile mode will be active both on phone and tablet.
    In addition to UA parsing in previous version, feature and screen size detection will be taken into effect to correctly determine
    it's a phone or tablet (even in desktop browser's emulation mode).

FileVista v8.9.20

Version 8.9.20 - April 18, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: The following error in console on mobile which prevented loading of the document viewer:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'top')
    The error was observed with Chrome on Android and emulated mobile views in browser's developer tools.
  • Improved: Mobile device detection to better detect new browsers.
  • Improved: Updated jquery to latest 3.7.1.
    Disabled unnecessary console message "JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.4.1"

• Improved: Updated embedded database engine to improve stability and performance.
