NetX 9.0.0

September 10, 2019

Highlights

NetX 9.0.0 delivers better accessibility, branding, performance and stability to your sites. Here are a few highlights:

• UI redesign: We’ve adopted Google’s Material Design system in the NetX interface, which allows us to provide an accessible, customizable, and consistent user experience throughout the application. By implementing an established standard, we can spend less time on minor design decisions and more time improving application functionality.
• Interface customization: In addition to custom logos, we now support custom color schemes and login screen backgrounds in the NetX interface. Custom logos are now supported in emails as well.
• Dark theme: Users can now enable a dark UI color theme to reduce eye strain.
• Visual search*: Users can now search for assets by dominant color -- by selecting Color as the basic search type -- or by visual similarity -- by selecting the Find assets like this action on an image asset. *This is an add-on module, please contact your account manager for purchase inquiries.
• Attribute profiles: An attribute profile is a set of attribute value updates. If you link an attribute profile to a folder (from the Edit folder action on a folder), that set of attribute value updates will be applied whenever an asset is imported, moved, or added to the folder.

• Storage system redesign: We no longer move an asset’s file on the file system to reflect changes to the asset’s folder membership in NetX. This improves the performance and reliability of workflows that depend on Move reorganize actions.

• Prioritized indexing queue: Updates to search index data are now processed in priority order, with higher priority given to actions that are critical to application functionality (e.g., new imports or changes to folder membership).

Enhancement requests

You spoke up, we listened! We've shipped these ideas in NetX 9:

• "0 assets" message is no longer displayed when performing a search.
• Folder size calculation is back!
• Users are now properly redirected to asset URLs after logging in.
• Ordering buttons are more consistent throughout the UI.
• The gallery actions menu icon has been changed to a button that's much easier to see.
• Attribute profiles have replaced the functionality of the legacy Category Metadata feature, and the profiles can be configured in HTML5.
• Asset ID searches can now be performed in the basic search bar. This is controlled via the image.simpleAssetIdSearchEnabled property.
• The login screen has been redesigned so that users can easily differentiate between local NetX account login and SSO login.
• In asset detail view, file info has been merged into the Overview tab.
• The pdf.launchStandard property is now supported in HTML5.
• Dataset management has been improved; users can no longer delete datasets that are referenced in an asset's attribute values. A tag value can only be updated through the dataset management UI. If the value is changed and re-uploaded as part of a Replace dataset action, NetX will interpret it as a request to Delete the old value and Add the new value.

Additional improvements and bugfixes

• The Solr search engine has been upgraded to version 7, bringing improved performance and reliability to our search platform.
• Statistics and Notifications have been moved into the Tools menu, now located on the left-side navigation bar and main menu.
• Only administrators can lock/unlock assets.
• Added support for LibreOffice/OpenOffice document (ODT) and spreadsheet (ODS) formats.

• review.approval.requireAll now defaults to false.

• Portals now only have one color.
• When creating a PDF, there are no default attributes chosen for you.
• The UI now gives feedback when uploads are attempted with illegal characters. A link to documentation has been added.
• Video preview on asset now detail fixed height to help preview fill the container.
• System views derived from an asset original (previewXMP, previewPDF, etc) are now deleted if the asset is reimported.
• An asset's constituents are now deleted if the asset is reimported.
• An asset's file-specific data is now reset if the asset is reimported.
• Upon upgrade to 9, a netx_file record is created for every non-placeholder image in the database.
• dedup.log (from LinkDuplicatesJob), if it exists, will now be included when downloading system logs.
• Fixed a regression in 8.12 which prevented some embedded metadata from being read on import.
• For (non-AutoTask) repurpose jobs, we now always ensure that any "rotate" operation occurs first, followed by "crop", and then any other requested operations.
• Fixed intermittent failure to generate MD5 checksums for some imported assets.
• The GhostScript plugin now respects the "crop box" when extracting pages from PDFs.
• Updated to Adobe XMPCore Toolkit v.5.1.3.
• Some improvements have been made to the OpenOffice/LibreOffice plugin.
• Repurpose presets are now stored in simple XML (preset_process table).
• If system.email.globalFromAddress is set to a valid email address, the "From" header for all emails sent by the NetX server will be set to this value.
• Report problems to UI when a selection of assets is resynced, and any of the assets were checked-out, archived (on Glacier), or being imported/separately resynced.
• Improved the performance of the page count calculation when indexing an asset with many pages.
• Some issues were resolved related to importing TIFF images with transparent/alpha layers; Imports of large TIFFs should complete more quickly (if using ImageMagick from 2013 or newer).
• user.directory_auto_create_groups now defaults to false if not set.
• Adjusted the calculation of Image#status to more accurately represent the current state of assets stored externally.
• Improved logging throughout the YouTube integration.
• Minor SAML logging improvement; eliminated sso.log (all SAML logging was going to exogen.log anyway).
• When a video clip is edited, the keyframe will only be regenerated if the time range has been changed.
• Non-zero exit codes from ExifTool processes won't be considered failures; success will be judged on whether the desired output was produced. This will improve XMP extraction support for some files.
• Support for removing "bad" XMP tags, as found in the "photoshop:DocumentAncestors" tag-bloat phenomenon, was fixed.
• FFmpeg processes will no longer be terminated a fixed time (default 1hr) after starting; ongoing processes will now be allowed to continue so long as the process doesn't stall. This fixes issues importing very large videos.
• When using the FFmpeg engine to generate H.264 derivatives from a source which uses YUV422 chroma sub-sampling, we will always re-encode to YUV420, since most end-user video players can't play YUV422 content.
• Problems with destructive video watermarking (via AutoTask) using FFmpeg have been fixed.
• Keyframes from imported videos are now resized using ImageMagick (when available), resulting in higher image quality.
• Update asset preview dimensions (width, height) when choosing an alternate page as the preview for an INDD or other paged asset. Previously this was only done for PDFs.
• During asset import, attribute values are now applied in the following order:
  1. Default values on attribute templates
  2. Values entered by importing user
  3. Destination folder's attribute profile
  4. Fields mapped via metadata sync
  5. Attribute updates as part of AutoTasks fired on import.
• Updated Drew Noakes' metadata-extractor to 2.11.0.
• Since we now require ImageMagick 6.9.9+, code that relied on old, slow features of ImageMagick Identify have been replaced with more modern, streamlined logic. Image imports should be faster for some customers.

• NetX I/O will no longer retry failed importAsset() requests.
• An asset's Relationships tab may display 0 results, depending on the current user's level of access to the linked assets.
• The performance of txt file content indexing has been improved.
• Allow Directors to change the branding colors and the login screen background image.
• Change column header of User CSV import/export from Fax to Cellphone for the cell phone field.
