There are following important object libraries improvements in the version 1.5:

Library object group name

When you create a layout by placing a library object on a page, the internal group name of the library object get saved in all created objects. By means of that group name, you can tell if objects were created from a library object.

As an extension of the above functionality, it is possible to create a logical group of objects that share the same string key as a group name.

When a single object is selected, it is possible to expand the selection on all the objects with the same key (Page.ExpandLogicalSelection(True)).

When nothing is selected in page and you press and hold SHIFT while clicking on an object, Fred attempts to select all members (if any).

Library objects replacement in Ted Extra mode

The user can choose "Tools\Ted Extra Library Mode" menu (or double click on the "Ted Extra" status bar label) to toggle the library replacement mode.

It is now possible to replace a library object with another one, but nothing else (excluding "undo").

Layers needs to be checked out and a PageDesigner license is required (one license for all the pages). Is it possible to save explicitly or toggle mode to choose if save page or abandon changes.

Fred palettes and library object id

When you select any item, belonging to the same group of objects (as explained in the 'Library object id' paragraph), the group name is shown above palettes. Example: we selected a frame that belongs to the article RobertTest4, that is flowing in a group of frames, created from the library object 3p3, stored in the library defblocks:

Tracking view and library object group name

New text information is available to be used as a placeholder in the Tracking view: &g = Library object group name.

Image assignment

When a linked article contains more images and you are replacing the existing article layout with a new library object, the image assignment is remembered after the first prompt to select an article image, if the object contains more image placeholders than the previous one.

The stored image list is per-article and for current session only.

Added new command "ForgetImageAssigns()" into Fred article object, to forget images linked. When applying a new library objects the images will be prompted again.
