The image has a strange clipping path: is composed by 88 shapes (!) and the main shape is a minimal fragment of these multiple shapes.
These shapes has different orientation (clockwise or not) depending on position and function (clip the part inside/outside of shape).
The bug is caused by a wrong orientation of crop shape compared to the current image shape.
Add a check that assure the right orientation of crop shape and current image shape. Fixed.

It is now possible to print selected elements in result listings using a !FlowDocument which can be paginated across page boundaries. The original !InfoPanel !DataTemplate configurations cannot be paginated across page boundaries.
 
A new !FlowDocument feed has been provided to generate !FlowDocuments and they can be used from the !PreviewPrintList configurations vai the !FlowDocumentPreview element, e.g.
 
<PreviewPrintList>
<FlowDocumentPreview Name="Image" ObjectTypeName="image" FeedName="FlowDocument"/>
<FlowDocumentPreview Name="Story" ObjectTypeName="story" FeedName="FlowDocument"/>
<FlowDocumentPreview Name="Article" ObjectTypeName="article" FeedName="FlowDocument"/>
 
The standard Shell4_Config.xml file has been updated to use this method and this along with the !FlowDocument feed and style-sheets (feed_FlowDocument.xml and xsl_FlowDocument.xslt) need to be re-imported for this feature to be enabled correctly.

This fix needs the schema update: GN4.xsd
 
 
PS
the operation on description to be effective needs the layer saved with linked article, only after that the section computation work and on article the custom attribute is shown.

GN4-4231

The bleed box can be defined in Edt using Master Data panel. There are four distances from the paper bounding box available: left, right, top and bottom. If defined (at least one margin set different from 0) it will be displayed on the PageDesigner pasteboard (remember to configure it big enough). The box color can be set in Fred preferences, default: light magenta.
 
Objects in page will snap on this box.
 
Print Dialog: added a new Tab called "Marks & Bleed", this tab contains the old marks settings and the bleed parameters.
Marks settings are just moved from Output tab to Marks and Bleeds tab.
 
New Bleed controls:
* Checkbox for use or not page (from master) bleed settings: id unchecked the user can override custom bleed margins. (by default is checked)
* Checkbox to set the artbox into the output (by default is unchecked), artbox into pdf equals to page content.
 
These settings are editable from vb with these PrintOptions class parameters:
* OverrideBleedBox: override the page bleed box (Boolean, default false)
* SetArtBox: set art box into output PDF (Boolean, default false)
* BleedTop: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the top margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedLeft: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the left margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedBottom: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the bottom margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedRight: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the top right bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)

[76] Fred4: CMYK converted pdf is not correct

GN4-4222

The conversion process fails to apply the color profile, the result is a wrong conversion.
This happens when the Color profile name is different than the color profile ''file'' name. 
Add a print option that distinguishes explicitly the profile name and the profile file name.
 
Print Dialog: no changes
Print Options (changes visible on vb): 
-the pre-existent property '''DestinationProfileName''' is read only
-add a new property '''DestinationProfileFileName''' that set also '''DestinationProfileName''' 
Print by server: 
-add the DestinationProfileFileName into custom options
 
These double properties works exactly like '''DefColorProfile''' and '''DefColorProfileFileName''' (The default base color profile)
 
Retrocompatibility:
-the fix is retrocompatible: old preset are still valid and return the right colors but the output file can be uncompressed (much bigger than the normal converted file).
Breaking Change:
To solve the previous problem the user should check-in/check-out the preset to set the right options or just add a KeyValue line into XML object:
''' <KeyValue key="DestinationProfileFileName" value="namefile.xxx" />'''

Now fixed: the error message has been removed and the link/unlink operations are performed without errors.

[101] Fred4: crash selecting a Format that contains an invalid font code.

GN4-4075

The crash happens when the Format data are wrong: in this case the fontCode associated to the format doesn't exists in the current typography (maybe a wrong data import).
This data doesn't have any reference to the font object, for this reason this error is possibile.
Add a message that explain the problem, in any case the user should manually modify the format object to fix the problem.
The selected format is anyway applied on text but the wrong data can raise other exception if not fixed from source.

[113] Fred4: selection problem on article Panel make selection and right click

GN4-4160

In the ArticlePanel of Fred4, when opening the context-menu with right-click, sometimes the tree selection changed, so the context-menu didn't refer to the wanted item.
This was because the idle cycle of the application tries always to synchronize the article tree selection with the selected frame in page.
Now fixed: when the context-menu is open, the article tree synchronization is disabled.

[141] Fred4: sync problem with PagesMainTab and one ShellMainTab with two Pages search results

GN4-4133

In Fred4, the Pages results of the Shell MainTab automatically changed when the user opened a page of a different title in PageDesigner.
The Shell MainTab changed the Pages results according to the title/edition of the open page.
This was because, when the PageDesigner started, Fred4 synchronized the Navigator using the title/edition of the open page (see job GN4-2670).
To synchronize the Navigator, it calls the the SetElementOnSearch() method.
The problem was that the SetElementOnSearch() method affects all the open tab items (not only the selected one).
Now fixed: added a new method, called SetElementOnSearchInCurrentTab(), which acts only on the currently selected tab.
You can use this new method every time the script needs to synchronize the Navigator of the current tab, without changing the results of the other tabs.

[197] Fred: frame labels to show the frames ordinal number

GN4-3974

In Fred4 page, added labels to show the frames ordinal numbers on page's layer on request, for unlinked or linked frames.
The new label shows the ordinal number (z-order) by frame type and logical group.
If a text frame belongs to a logical group the label has the 'LG:' prefix; vice versa, if the frame is not into any logical group, then only the z-order value by type is displayed (with no prefix).
For example, the first 'body' frame of each logical group has the label 'LG:1', even if they link the same text.
The new label is displayed in the top-left corner (color magenta), below the frame/jump number label. When the label is like 'G:1' the logical group was created manually and not from a library object.
Added a new check-box option in Preferences->Display ('Show logical group order label') to set the default value. Added a new toggle item ('Logical group order') in the File menu too.
By script, you can read the logical group order number using the 'Page.GetSelectedGroupOrder()' method.

[251] Fred4/Ted4: in newObjectUI the sectionRef is not populated if default permission is not set

GN4-3977

When creating a new object, in the ObjectUI the 'sectionRef' attribute was not populated if the default permission was not set to the user.
This was because the client did not read the 'PlaceIn' indirect-permission of the section objects. 
Now fixed: the indirect-permissions are correctly read by the client and the sections with 'PlaceIn' permissions are displayed in the ObjectUI.

[256] Fred: the preference "Ignore Selection When Dropping on Empty Space on Page" works also for imgs

GN4-3976

The preference "Ignore Selection When Dropping on Empty Space on Page" works now also for imgs (editorial images). When you drop an editorial image on the empty space on page, and the preference is turned on, and there are selected objects, the img is placed where you drop it and won't replace the selection. Affects OnDropImg.

[267] Fred4: different behaviour when resizing linked or dragged image

GN4-3950

When replacing an image in page, the user can choose if resizing or fitting the picture.
If resizing, the dragged picture was wrongly stretched to match both the axes of the frame.
Now fixed: the picture is re-sized to one axis of the frame, keeping proportions.
In scripting, added the command to reset the hotspot of the resized image.

[297] Fred: avoid that an existing img gets always regenerated, allow the choice

GN4-3914

Now Fred allows you to drag an image (wire or Tark) over an existing img in an article on page and to choose whether the image has to be replaced only in that article (default choice), or in all other pages (also belonging to other editions, whether copied from or not), articles, masters and library objects where it appears.

[303] Fred: improve post-resize action not to adjust irrelevant (far) below objects

GN4-3905

Improved the post-resize action on referent object (related to change headline height with SHIFT held, or on format change or by F7 action) not to adjust irrelevant (far) below frames and images. Now, Fred analyzes the distance of the below objects from the referent object and will adjust their position only if at least one of them is close to the referent object, signaling therefore that the article layout is somehow regular. This avoids, for example, that when changing the height of a headline over a huge image the frames below image get moved.

To activate it, add the <Item Name="glbAppLocalTextProcessing" Value="XX" /> where XX can be 0-prompt, 1-clear, 2-jumpline, 3-insert on top, 4-insert on bottom. Then, Fred won't prompt you anymore but it will perform the default action also when linking to the library shapes AFTER you placed them on a page.

GN4-3866

Added a new script method in Shell.vb, called DownloadVariantByName(), which can be called from a menu.
It accepts the name of the variantType and reads the currently selected objects.
This method is useful to download the page variants (PDF) from the menu in Fred.
For example, in fred4_tabItems.xml, you can add the following item to the <ContextMenuName="PageNavigatorPopup"> menu:

 
<l:ShellMenuItemHeader="Download Variant..." CommandParameter="DownloadVariantByName" Parameters="PDF_[Smallest file size]"/>

 
This way, after having printed the page and generated the variant, you can download the PDF from the page navigator context menu.

[345] Fred/i4: implement a way to merge a story with content (images) into an article

GN4-3700

In clients, improved the merging dialog which creates an article from stories.
Now the story's pictures are displayed into the dialog and, after being converted into editorial images, they are linked to the final article (see the MergeToNewArticle method in Ted.vb).
The pictures are converted to images and then linked to the target article even when the stories are merged to an already existing or current article (see the MergeToSpecifiedArticle and MergeToCurrentArticle methods in Ted.vb).
In i4, it is possible to create a new article (with images) from a story selecting the 'Send to newsroom' menu item.

[360] Fred4: image color correction

GN4-3816

In "Area/Image Colors panel" there are four new sliders: 1) Brightness (range -255/+255, default 0); 2) Contrast (range -127/+127, default 0); 3) Saturation (range -100/+100, default 0); 4) Gamma % (range +1/+999, default 100).
These sliders works only with non-vectorial images (no EPS, no PDF). Right-click the parameter icon to reset to default the value. 
This is a filter used by client or by print process, the original DB image is untouched.
In case of brightness/contrast the used algorithm is similar to the Photoshop one, it try to apply a "smart" brightness/contrast into the image, different than the "classic" algorithm (for brightness, min value: black image - max value: white image).
Scripting:
Page.SelElement.SetImgCorrection(index, value)
value = Page.SelElement.GetImgCorrection(index)
(index -> 0=brightness, 1=contrast, 2=saturation, 3=gamma)
The entire feature can be disabled with '''DisableColorCorrection''' client URL restriction (see Forum).
