Online Help Links Point to Introductory Page
Context sensitivity for the online help is not yet enabled in Connect. All links and F1 calls point
to the introductory page, where you can Search on keywords to bring up Help pages relating to
the topic.
Context sensitivity will be introduced in a subsequent release of Connect.
Image Preview in Designer
If in the Windows Internet settings (Connection Settings > LAN configuration) a proxy is
enabled, but "Bypass proxy settings for local addresses" is not checked, the image preview
service, conversion service and live preview tab in the Designer will not work and exhibit the
following issues:
l Images will be shows as 0 size boxes (no red 'X' is displayed)
l Live preview does not progress, and when re-activated reports "browsers is busy"
To fix the issue you must check the "Bypass proxy settings for local addresses" option.
Merge\Weaver Engines when Printing
The print operation in the Designer will automatically detect whether the Merge\Weaver
engines are available and display a message for the user to retry or cancel if not. Once the
Merge\Weaver engine becomes available and the user presses retry the print operation will
proceed as normal. This message can also occur in the following circumstances:
l If the server is offline and you are not using Proof Print
l On some occasions before the Print Wizard opens
REST Calls for Remote Services
The Server will now accept REST calls for all remote services and will make commands wait
indefinitely until the required engines become available. The Server will log when it is waiting
for an engine and when it becomes available. Note that there is no way to cancel any
commands other than stopping the Server.
