Assets for InDesign 4.1.0
Assets for InDesign version 4.1.0 build 838
Shipped with Assets Server 6.49.1.266
Release date: 10 June 2020
New features
The following features have been added in this release of Assets for InDesign:
- Adding multiple references to Assets Server to log in to. It is now possible to create references to multiple instances of Assets Server. This makes it possible to choose the server to log in to from the Log In dialog when manually logging in. Creating and managing these references is done in the preferences:
InDesign Preferences > WoodWing Assets > WoodWing Assets Server URL
Using the preference, the following can be done:
- Add references to different instances of Assets Server.
- Update existing references.
- Rearrange references by dragging them up or down.
- Delete a reference.
The references are stored in a list which can be distributed to other machines.
For more information, see Configuring Assets Server references in Assets for InDesign.
- Logging in: controlling if Assets for InDesign should log in to Assets Server. Before starting working with Assets for InDesign, users need to log in to Assets Server on which the files are stored that they want to work with. When InDesign is started or a local document is opened, users are therefore asked to log in to Assets Server.
However, when working on layouts that do not contain images that are stored in Assets Server, logging in is not required and the steps for logging in might get in the way. Controlling if Assets for InDesign should log in to Assets Server can now be done through the following preference:
InDesign Preferences > WoodWing Assets > Log In > Log In when Launching InDesign or Opening a Local Document
By default the preference is enabled. Each time InDesign is started or a local document is opened, Assets for InDesign starts the log-in process.
To prevent this from happening, disable the preference.
For more information, see Controlling if Assets for InDesign should log in to Assets Server.
- Placing files: replacing multiple occurrences of a placed file with another file. When a file is placed on a layout, there may come a time when it needs to be replaced by another file. This can simply be done by dropping another file onto it and/or using the place gun. When this is done for a file that is placed multiple times on the layout, Assets for InDesign will now detect this and will offer you the option to update all occurrences of that file with the new file.
