This article highlights changes and fixes for Laserfiche 8.3.1.
Laserfiche Server
- The Laserfiche Server now contains logic to better handle if an anti-virus program currently has a lock on a new volume file. Previously, this situation could cause Laserfiche to be unable to correctly set version history for newly created versions of electronic files. (85818)
- Laserfiche now more reliably automatically starts lfshlp.exe after your restart the server. (85726)
- In special situations, Laserfiche may not properly sort column values in the folder browser or search results. This issue no longer occurs. (85681)
- The search service no longer has the potential to hang Laserfiche clients when retrieving pages from a large number of documents. (84987)
Laserfiche Administration Console
- You no longer receive a "The object must have its connection set before it can be used. [771]" error message when trying to merge two list fields. (86171)
- The administration console no longer becomes unstable when you open the Users node with sorting enabled and you open the Users node by double-clicking the item from the center pane. (85761)
Laserfiche Client
- Generating pages from PDFs could result in cropped or cut off images if the Windows text size (DPI) was not the default setting. This issue no longer occurs. (73102)
- Refreshing the folder browser after scrolling down within a large folder could cause other folders to open to the same scroll position. This issue no longer occurs. (85932)
- You can now again set more than 2 values for a dynamic field that is a multiple-value field. (85830)
- 1012944 Moving Or Renaming An Entry From The Search Results Pane In Laserfiche Client 8.3 Moves The Entry To The Root Folder Of Your Laserfiche Repository. (85647)
- Client operations that display a progress dialog box (e.g., OCR, export, import, generate pages) now circumvent the idle disconnect timer. (85641)
- Laserfiche now properly displays dynamic field values in a child field when the field value in the parent field contains multiple consecutive blank spaces. (85601)
- In certain situations, selecting a date from the calendar picker could display a "Stop running this script?" error message. This issue no longer occurs. (85508)
- Users granted the See Through Redactions entry access right can now print secured documents such that the printed document has solid redactions. (85299, 85468)
- In certain situations, the Document Viewer may not properly detect that you have created or removed a document relationship in the Metadata pane, causing the Save toolbar button to remain disabled. This issue is now resolved. (85459)
- Laserfiche now correctly handles another situation in which generating image pages on a PDF file inverts the black and white colors. (85438)
- When importing multiple e-mail messages into Laserfiche, the Apply these properties to all entries imported in this batch option now has the following logic when processing templates and fields (85288):
- If you change the template, all documents will have the new template.
- If you change a field that is not a pre-configured e-mail property, that field value will be set on all documents.
- If you change a field that is a pre-configured e-mail property, that field value will only be applied to the current document.
- Users without the Export feature right no longer receive an "Error logging in. The Laserfiche client was unable to intercept the Print Screen hot key." error message when opening a folder shortcut to a folder through folder tunneling. (85238)
- Laserfiche now prompts you to save your changes if you attempt to rename a document after making modifications. (85182)
- Laserfiche no longer disables the F12 key for other programs when a Microsoft Office document is opened from Laserfiche. (85152)
- 1012937 A "Failed to initialize metadata display. Could not create required control. [6720]" Error Occurs When Opening A Document on After Applying Laserfiche 8.3.0 Service Pack 2. (85067)
- Users with read access to a document can now properly copy pages from that document. (84984)
- You can now properly select field values in a child dynamic field when the value in the parent dynamic field was automatically selected. (84980)
- The Folder Browser no longer loses focus on the currently selected item after you open the Metadata dialog box, make changes, and press the ENTER key to close the dialog box. (84853)
- Exporting certain images in PDF format may create larger than expected standard PDF files compared to PDF/A files. Laserfiche now supports a new trustee attribute: [Settings]ExportImagePdfFavorSizeEx. If you create this new trustee attribute and set the value to Yes, for specific image types, Laserfiche will try encoding the problem image using two methods and select the image with the smaller file size. (84810)
- Laserfiche now supports a new trustee attribute: [Search]ShowDropDownLists. Use this attribute to control how the Laserfiche Client displays list fields in the Search Pane. Set the value to true to display list fields as a drop-down list. Set the value to false or remove the attribute to display list fields as a text box. If the text box is empty, placing the mouse cursor over the text box will display a tooltip of the list field values. (81417)
Laserfiche Scanning
- Scanning now automatically selects a value in a dynamic field if there is only 1 possible value. (85416)
- In certain situations, adding a Rotate image enhancement configured to rotate automatically could create images with inverted colors. This issue is now resolved. (85138)
Laserfiche Snapshot
- The ApplyToAllUsers registry value documented in Knowledge Base article 1012903 has been renamed to StoreSettingsInHKLM. (85812)
- Snapshot now again tries to replace the %(PrintJobName) token in the Name option in the Laserfiche Snapshot print dialog box before sending the document to Laserfiche. (84588)
