In client, when editing a story using the template kind 'HtmlEditor' in ObjectUI, the html field was not correctly displayed in dialog.
In fact, the CKEditor appeared for a second and immediately disappeared. Moreover, the mouse cursor was moving in/out the 'busy' mode over and over.
This was because the rendered HTML contained a 'brand' hyperlink which forced the page to reload repeatedly.
Now fixed: the 'brand' hyperlink has been removed and now the CKEditor is correctly displayed.

If the SearchObjectUI contained an extFilter where the 'sourceName' referred to a MultiReference attribute, the following error occurred: '[attributeName] does not evaluate to a number (ERR1332)'.
Now fixed: the extFilter correctly filters the results, according to the values selected into the MultiReference attribute's control.

When a client application starts and perform login, the connection GUID is stored in a temporary local file. This file is deleted on app close. If a crash occurs, on next start the GUID file will be used to force logout of the previous connection, freeing all locked objects and licenses. The logout on start is not executed if more than one app is running, as for object recover operation.

It is possible to display the clipboard in a similar fashion as the search results in the shell main tab via the !MainAddIn commands !ShowClipboardResults (shell.vb). Left-double-clicking on an entry in the clipboard listings calls !ClipboardDesignerLeftDoubleClick the system implementation of which calls !ResultListDesignerLeftDoubleClick. Right-clicking calls the !ShowClipboardDesignerContextMenu the system implementation of which calls !ShowResultListDesignerContextMenu. The default implementation means that the clipboard acts in a similar fashion to a standard results list.

The default directory styles associated with various searches in the shell are used on the first application of that search, e.g. when generating a new listing or when the current search has changed. Previously it was not used when the search changed but the results were displayed in an open listing.

In clients, the AllowEmptySearches parameter of the BaseQuery was ignored if the ExtFilter query was set into the SearchObjectUI.
In this case, the query was always performed (even if the AllowEmptySearches parameter was false).
Now fixed: if the AllowEmptySearches parameter is false and no parameter is set into the searching controls, then the query is not performed at all (even if the ExtFilter's parameters have been configured into the SearchObjectUI).

Inserting HTML tag into an article in i4, part of the textual content was wrongly removed, because CKEditor did not recognize the inserted HTML.
Note that HTML code could have a structure not allowed into a GN4 editorial article, like nested paragraphs.
Now fixed: the HTML tag are inserted as plain text and it behaves like other GNML commands.
Publishing the article, the inserted tag is then converted in HTML, so to be displayed into the published web page.

The views refresh automatically all elements when an alert came from server.
To solve the problem when the edit draft view is used the automatic alert refresh is stopped: the view receive the alert notify but no refresh is executed.
The automatic refresh is restored when the user leave the edit draft view.

When the send dialog needs to display more than 10 copy-flow destinations, they will be displayed using a combo-box rather than individual radio-buttons.
 
This limit can be changed by setting the !RadioButtonLimit property on !SendDialog to a positive value. Setting it to zero will force the copy-flow destinations to always be displayed as a combo-box.
Dim selection As IGenericAttrObjList = Main.GetSelectedObjects()
Dim sendDialog As New SendCopyFlowDialog(Main.Window) with {
.RadioButtonLimit = 5,
.IsShowSendHistory = True,
.IsShowSendSelected = True,
.FolderObjectIds = selection.Ids
} 
 
If sendDialog.ShowDialog() = True Then

[21] Clients: Multicrop control enhancements

GN4-3843

Improved the MultiCrop control in clients.
- when no variantType is passed to the MultiCrop activity, then the pubDest treeview is displayed at the top of the control.
You can select/deselect multiple pubDest at time pressing the Ctrl button while clicking on the treeview.
- now each variantType into the list has its three buttons: Save, Delete and Revert. These buttons are visible only when the variantType is selected.
- added a tooltip to the label of the variantType into the list at the right. The tooltip says what pubDest are associated to that variantType.
 
See http://forum.teradp.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=836&FORUM_ID=13#4106 for more info about the enhancements of the Multicrop control in clients.
See http://tracking.teradp.com/gn4/issues/GN4-4324 for the Multicrop control in i4.

[22] Client: configs for user / groups

GN4-4200

Client application config files can now be set per user/group. Use Cmd4/Srv4 "config" command using "who" parameter that now accept also user or group name, to import "not global" configs. Apps will try to load user configs, if defined, otherwise they will scale the user group list until a defined config is reached. The "global" config is the last in search list.

[57] Client: cannot set extfilter on item ref attribute

GN4-4230

Into an ObjectUI definition, it is possible to configure an attribute's control with a value filter (the 'extFilter' tag).
This filter is an XQuery string which can accept the current value of other attribute's controls as parameters (see the job GN4-1917 for more info about it).
If the 'extFilter' was defined into an attribute-specific ObjectUI, the filter was not able to read at runtime the values of the controls configured into the main ObjectUI.
For example, in the following configuration the 'extFilter' defined into the 'printRoutes' ObjectUI was not able to read at runtime the value of the "titleRef" control, because that control was defined into a different ObjectUI.

 
<objectUI>
 <attribute name="titleRef">
   <ui mode="Normal"/>
 </attribute>
 <attribute name="printRoutes">
   <ui mode="Normal">
     <template kind="Grid" xmlns="http://www.teradp.com/schemas/GN4/1/XmlSchemaExt.xsd">
       <objectUI>
         <attribute name="sectionRef">
           <ui mode="Normal">
             <template kind="DropDown" sorted="true" xmlns="http://www.teradp.com/schemas/GN4/1/XmlSchemaExt.xsd" />
             <extFilter xquery="fn:in(fn:objectIdFromString(gn4:titleRef/@idref), @@)" isOptional="true" sourceName="titleRef" xmlns="http://www.teradp.com/schemas/GN4/1/XmlSchemaExt.xsd"/>
           </ui>
         </attribute>
       </objectUI>
     </template>
   </ui>
 </attribute>
</objectUI>

 
Now fixed: the 'extFilter' defined into the ObjectUI of a 'Grid' template is able to read the attributes of the main ObjectUI; so, the values of the attribute defined into the attribute-specific ObjectUI are correctly filtered by the value read from the attribute of the main ObjectUI.

[45] Client apps: objectUi for access permissions to easily select groups

GN4-4227

The access permissions popup for selecting security ids now displays the groups first, then the users; each section sorted alphabetically.
This way, we can easily select a group without scrolling the dropdown list.
Vice versa, in i4 the list of user/group is already searchable and we can already filter it by type (user or group).

[54] Client: UI forceRequired attribute does not work on all attribute types

GN4-4207

In editing dialog of clients, the 'forceRequired' flag in the ObjectUI didn't work for multi-reference attributes
(see http://forum.teradp.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=493&FORUM_ID=13#3107 for more info about the 'forceRequired' flag).
Now fixed: even if the multi-reference attribute is optional, the 'forceRequired' flag forces the user to insert a non-empty value.

[79] Client Apps: Xaml feed based listings don't set ObjectTypeName correctly

GN4-4223

The object type name of some results returned by xaml feed based listings is now correctly set. Also, tiles not specifying the object id (l:!ShellResultView.Id) and tile name (l:!ShellResultView.!TileName) are ignored. If specified, the object type name (l:!ShellResultView.!ObjectTypeName) will be used to set the type of the result otherwise it will be assumed to be '''object'''.

[85] Client: better tab display when there are multiple result tabs

GN4-4177

When the width of search results in shell listing gets narrow, rather than displaying the search description in a compressed form, it is displayed beneath the navigation and slideshow buttons in a new row.
 
Improvements to the description to make it more compact using '''Name:''' instead of '''Name is''' where possible. The name of the condition is taken from the label of the search creating it when possible. Search conditions such as '''Published''' that use an xquery rather than a schema path, use this feature to great effect.

[102] Client: black screen in some situation

[166] Client: Refresh button doesn't refresh the Results listing, but only the Linked/Assigned buttons do

GN4-4061

If the web server was configured to use the Windows Authentication, the 'Unauthorized' error ('You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers') occured when double-clicking on image in list.
The problem was into the OpenFullScreenPopup() script method (ShellSystemAddIn).
Now fixed: when double-clicking on the image, the client correctly shows the full-screen image.

[384] Client: create and display objectUI at runtime

GN4-3793

In scripts, now it is possible to pass a programmatically created objectUI to the EditObjDialog class.
In fact, the methods SetIds() and SetObj() of the EditObjDialog now accept the xml of the custom ObjectUI (as XElement).
For example:

 
Dim dlg As New EditObjDialog(Designer.Main.Window)
Dim xObjectUI As XElement =
<objectUI
 useAttributesOrder="true"
 xmlns:gn4="urn:schemas-teradp-com:gn4tera"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <default mode="Hidden"/>
 <attribute name="name">
   <ui mode="Normal"/>
 </attribute>
</objectUI>
dlg.SetObj(item.AccessObj, xObjectUI)

 
Also the NewObjectDialog can use the custom ObjectUI, setting the property ObjectUIXml.
For example:

 
Dim dlg As New NewObjDialog(TedApp.ClientApp().MainWindow, False)
dlg.ObjectUIXml =
<objectUI
 useAttributesOrder="true"
 xmlns:gn4="urn:schemas-teradp-com:gn4tera"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <default mode="Hidden"/>
 <attribute name="name">
   <ui mode="Normal"/>
 </attribute>
</objectUI>
dlg.ShowDialog()
