Windows 10 Search service impacting Connect
The Windows 10 Search service runs as a background task, indexing files and folders. It has
been noted that this background task is sometimes preventing files being added to the Connect
temporary files folder when large amounts of files are being output and copied.
If this is an issue for you, we suggest disabling Search Indexing on the
C:\Users\<username>\Connect folder.
This issue will be fixed in a later release.
Job Creation Presets: External Sorting change introduced in 2018.2
Versions prior to 2018.2 did not correctly save the line end characters for external sort
configurations in Job Creation Presets, which meant the job could not be externally sorted. This
issue has been fixed in version 2018.2. However, Job Creation Presets created with an earlier
version may still have the wrong line end character for external sorting. To fix this, open the Job
Creation Preset in the new version, reset the line end setting in the sorting options and then
save the preset.
Engine Preferences: Backward Compatibility Issues introduced in 2018.2
l Prior to version 2018.2 Connect allowed a mixture of internal and external engines. As of
PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 this is no longer allowed.
When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 from such installations, the pre-existing
settings will not only no longer apply, but can cause scheduling preference conflicts for
the Merge and Weaver engines.
To fix this, any pre-existing Connect installation that was running a mixture of internal and
external Merge and Weaver Engines must first restore their scheduling preferences to the
default values. This can be done by clicking on the Restore Defaults button in the
Scheduling pages of the Server Preference or the Designer Preference dialogs.
l The Designer's scheduling settings are only updated correctly for the user actually
performing the update.
