FileVista v8.2.1

Version 8.2.1 - November 23, 2020

• Added: Cookieless session will be used when necessary to automatically fix session issues, i.e. when the browser
  does not allow cookies via browser settings or via iframe with a cross-domain URL.
  The cookieless session will be established via headers, form or querystring where possible.

  Added GleamTechWebConfiguration.AutoCookielessSessionEnabled property to control this feature (default value is true).
  You don't need to use GleamTechWebConfiguration.CookieSameSiteFixEnabled when this property is true.

• Fixed: When was set in Web.config, the below error was being thrown:

FileVista v8.2.0

Version 8.2.0 - November 17, 2020

• Fixed: The Location field of RootFolder was still being truncated to 255 characters,
  although in database it was increased to 500 characters back in v6.7.

• Improved: For Azure file system, correct content type will be set for files that are uploaded.
  In previous versions content type was not set so Azure Blob by default used "application/octet-stream" for all uploaded files.
  This made complications for external usage of uploaded files from Azure Blob.
  For example when using an Azure Blob URL in a web page, it should be have the right content type,
  e.g. for png image, content type should be "image/png", so that the browser shows it immediately as image
  (not download it to users computer, as when Blob was content type of "application/octet-stream").

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Viewing email formats with a zero-sized attachment failed with "Index was outside the bounds of the array. " error.

  • Improved: Updated Danish, Swedish and Norwegian translation files.

• Changed: Logo on login page from "keys" logo to FileVista logo.

FileVista v8.1.6

Version 8.1.6 - November 9, 2020

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: In some browsers, DocumentViewer was shown as grey box and "originalConfig is not defined..." error was logged in the console.
    This was caused by web security software such as "Webroot Filtering Extension" which blocked iframe communication in some cases.

  • Fixed: Attachment names with unicode characters (e.g. german umlauts) were not encoded correctly when generating PDF Portfolio.
    This caused DocumentViewer to show names with garbage characters in the Attachments tab for an email file.

  • Improved: "Download" and "Download as PDF" buttons will now download the currently selected attachment, not the container document.

  • Improved: Updated German translation file.

FileVista v8.1.5

Version 8.1.5 - November 3, 2020

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Added: PDF Portfolio (aka PDF Package) support. DocumentViewer can now display PDF files with embedded files (attachments).
    DocumentViewer will show tree of attachments on the left side and it's now possible to click attachments to load and display.
    Subfolders for attachments are also supported.
    If the PDF Portfolio has Adobe's default placeholder page (cover sheet with "For the best experience...." text), it will be replaced by
    DocumentUltimate's cover sheet which includes useful information such as list of attachments in the file.

  • Added: Attachments inside email formats (MSG, EML) will now be available in DocumentViewer.
    Email formats with attachments will generate a PDF Portfolio (aka PDF Package).
    DocumentViewer will show tree of attachments on the left side and it's now possible to click attachments to load and display.
    The cover sheet will be the email message itself.

  • Improved: Stability, accuracy for Presentation formats.

    • Fixed "LoadBrushElementData:ignorePressure" error for some PPTX file.

    • Fixed "The type initializer for '_foB' threw an exception." error for Presentation formats on some machines.

  • Added: Danish, Swedish and Norwegian translations.

  • Improved: To reduce memory usage for some intermediate conversions for DocumentConverter, created TemporaryInputOutputHandler
    (which uses temporary files) and used it instead of MemoryInputOutputHandler (e.g. for PostApply PDF and for email -> mht -> pdf).

  • Improved: Blank page at the end will be prevented for some conversions (especially for email -> mht -> pdf)
    We remove last empty paragraphs (no text and no image) to prevent blank page when converting to a fixed page format like pdf, images etc (eg. not docx).

  • Improved: Optimized DocumentViewer client-side stability and performance.

FileVista v8.1.0

Version 8.1.0 - September 15, 2020

• Fixed: After upgrading from an older version like 6.5, old public links failed with "Link not found" error on some servers.

• Fixed: "Session has expired..." confirmation was not shown for Download, DownloadAsZip, Preview actions (the page was refreshed
  without asking). Optimized DownloadError.html and SessionExpired.html for better debug information.

• Improved: Optimized iOS support:

  • As iOS 13+ can download files (has download manager), Download action will not need to open file in current window for iOS 13+ (browser
    will show download/view confirmation).

  • Long-press (tap-hold) will open context menus in FileManager and FileUploader. Longpress also works on non-touch devices like desktop browsers.

  • When long-pressing on thumbnails, the browser's callout will be prevented.

• Fixed: When a root folder with PhysicalLocation had credentials, "access denied" error was shown on 100 percent even if the file was actually
  uploaded (impersonation was lost when setting DateModified).

FileVista v8.0.18

Version 8.0.18 - August 31, 2020

• Fixed: A minor security issue.

• Fixed: Since v8.0.12, due to a security fix, viewing root folders or subfolders with names including some special characters caused an error.

• Fixed: Dropping a folder to itself, the folder disappeared on Azure file system (and strange behaviour on other file systems).
  "The destination folder X is a subfolder of the source folder Y" error will be shown as expected (it was broken).

• Improved: Center pane (MultiView) sometimes was not displaying thumbnails for some items (e.g when resizing the browser and then
  refreshing the folder). Improved CSS of MultiView so that it will be easier to override background color.

  Navigation pane and ribbon pane are now responsive, they will collapse when "screen width < 500" and "screen height < 500" respectively.
