New features
The following feature has been introduced in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application. When making use of a Web application (such as a planning tool or a custom application), users may want to directly open layouts or articles directly from that application into InDesign or InCopy with Studio installed.
This can be made possible by letting the application call a URL with specific parameters. Using this method, the following can be done:
- Open layouts in InDesign or articles in InCopy
- Open multiple layouts or articles with one URL
- Open the files checked-out or as read-only
- Open a template for editing or instantiate a new document from the template
For more information, see Opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application.
- Scripting. As part of the functionality for opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application, the following scripting call has been added:
- application.openObjects
Changes
Studio for InDesign and InCopy 2020 is based on Studio for InDesign and InCopy 15.0.0 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:
- Dragging files from Content Station or Studio onto a layout in InDesign. Support for dragging files from Content Station 9 has been dropped. It is still possible to drag files from Content Station 11 or Studio by using the Drag to InDesign integration.
- Single sign-on: Preventing Studio for InDesign and InCopy from checking if Studio Server is SSO-enabled. When Studio for InDesign and InCopy with support for single sign-on (SSO) connects to Studio Server, a check is done to see if that version of Studio Server has SSO enabled.
When Studio for InDesign and InCopy with support for single sign-on connects to a version of Studio Server which does not contain this service, a fatal PHP error is logged by Studio Server. Although harmless in itself, the error unnecessarily triggers alarms in system monitoring tools.
It was already possible to prevent Studio for InDesign and InCopy from performing the SSO check by modifying the URLs that are defined in the WWSettings.xml file, but this did not affect URLs that are defined in the configserver.php file.
This has now been made possible by the following option that can be added to the configserver.php file:
new Feature( 'sso', 'false'),
