New features

The following feature has been added in this release of Assets:

• Fit Search results to window. When browsing files in the Search results pane, it can be beneficial to view them without the Folder browser, the Filter, or any of the panels open. Instead of manually closing them, they can now be quickly hidden and displayed by clicking the Fit to Window icon at the bottom of the pane or by pressing Alt+V.

Changes

Assets 6.48 is based on the Pro client of Elvis 6.47 and is technically the same. Apart from re-branding it by changing logos and product name references at various places, only the following changes have been made:

• New background image for the sign in page. A new background image for the sign in page is used.

New installations automatically make use of this image but when upgrading older versions, the background image is not upgraded.

When needed, implementing the new image in upgraded installations can be done by copying the file named background.jpg from the following location:

/Library/Elvis Server/Config/clean-example-config-6.48.1.<buildnr>/plugins/active/internal/elvis_client/logos

and use it to replace the existing file in:

<Elvis config>/plugins/active/internal/elvis_client/logos/

• Keyboard shortcuts. The following has changed:

New	Open in new tab Cmd+double-click Shift+double-click Delete Ctrl+backspace (Windows) Cmd+backspace (MacOS) Open a previewed file in a new tab Shift+double-click Cmd+double-click Fit search results to window Alt+V
Removed	Deleting assets: Backspace Delete

Known issues

The following known issues exists in this release of Assets:

• PDF previews not working on Chrome. Due to an update of Google Chrome, PDF previews may not load properly anymore. This affects the following file types:
• PDF
• DOC
• DOCX
• XLS
• XLSX

Notes:  Because this issue is related to the Web browser, it also affects previous versions of Assets. The issue only happens when previews are sandboxed by setting the following configuration option: security.sandboxPreviews=true. However, we do not recommend turning sandboxing off, as it prevents malicious code from being injected into Web browsers through PDF files.

• Localization API does not return default messages used in the client. The localization API does not return default messages from the client. However, it still returns field labels and custom messages. If your customization relies on a message key from Assets, add the key and expected value as a custom message.

• Copying components from archived Digital articles does not work with specific Web browsers. Copying an article component from an archived Digital article using Studio only works when using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, it does not work with Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge.
