Releases 2018

2018.02.R3

For users

General

French language pack for desktop Apps

French language pack is now available for the desktop version of the apps. The language change is accessible directly in the Trampoline’s (global change) and in the app’s login menu (only for the particular app). 

Choose between Hubert and Woodwing in Trampoline

If user works using both Hubert and Woodwing plugins, it’s now possible to easily switch between them in Trampoline, choosing the wanted version of the Adobe InCopy or InDesign with an applied plugin. The Woodwing plugin is marked with a triangle in the left upper corner of app’s icon. 

This feature is functional for both Windows and MacOS and can be activated in Settings [1]. 

It can be found in Application settings for the chosen Adobe app version [2] 

and enabled with the marked option [3]. To apply changes user has to save them [4]. 

Content selector (web)

The web version of the Content Selector is still in the development phase, but there’re many accomplished features that could be of interest for the Hubert System users. In this release there’s available a beta version for demonstration purposes. 

It can be found in the Administration tab. 

Copyright visualization (web and desktop)

In the previous version the yellow indicator was shown if a photo was event restricted and not associated to any issue date. 

Now the issue date is designed only to differentiate between photos with the green (a photo coincides with an event) and blue indicator (a photo doesn’t coincide, a channel group or source does). If there’s the yellow indicator – all the factors don’t coincide. 

Widget splitter

In the web-based version of the Content Selector it’s possible to change to the widget’s size with the splitter. The content in the widget areas will dynamically adapt to its new size. 

Layout type

[added] [ticket]

Using the layout type menu in the top right corner of the web-based version of Content Selector it’s possible to adapt the layout to the user’s needs.

There are several options to disposal, which include various number of widgets in the panel. 

Content selector (Hubert)

Photo usage

Selected photos are now marked basing on layout usage (previously: on the preselection). The red frame [1] around a photo indicates if it’s physically located in the layout in the current issue. The small red square [2] informs whenever a photo has been used in the layout of another product from a product group. 

When it’s been – it possible to see the Photo usage info by [Left click] on the square. 

For admins

Web interface of Oxana

Oxana app is now available in the Profile Manager as one of its modules. The new web-based version preserved all its functionalities known from the desktop version. 

Web interface of Automation tool

The Automation tool is now available as separate web-based app. The most UI elements have been created with an original-like arrangement with several modifications.

The Information [1] and Configuration [2] tabs have been moved to the toolbar on the left. 

New HFS files and logs location

Due to Microsoft’s decision to enable the Documentsdirectory backup to the OneDrive service by default, Hubert HFS files and logs will be moved in the new plugin version 8.0.0.206 to: 

\AppData\Local\H3\

Mark file manager will recognize the new location regardless of the used plugin version, too. 

This change will be effective only after the plugin update, exclusively for the Windowsplatform. In all the older plugin versions the path remains unchanged. 

2018.02.R2

Users

FRED

Search by id

Record ID can be pasted into search box.

ID:123_record_id

Like this:

Record will be searched and displayed in column Search results by id

Direct record link

We make sharing record info easier.

Right-click to obtain direct link to record:

Link is copied to clipboard. You can paste it into browser (and hit ENTER)

If Hubert is running searched record [1] will be displayed in Fred.
There can be multiple searches [2]. Search results are remembered until you leave product.

Once you are in mode Search result by id [2] you can omit ID while providing record id.

Photo placeholder

There is a gray placeholder displayed in Fred.

Gray placeholder [1] is displayed whenever a photo can be selected.

Right-click: selected photo can be removed or re-scaled [2]

Hint: Should you miss selected photo panel [1] please check in Settings [2]

Cut preview

If you move mouse pointer over photo [1] a big preview will be displayed with cut markers [2] on it.

To make it happen check if big preview is enabled [this option]

Photo cascades

Use case

One data record can have multiple photo selections in four popular aspect ratios:

  1. Landscape
  2. Portrait
  3. Aspect ratio 16:9
  4. Aspect ratio  4:3

We show this selections as cascades.
Cascade is a collection of multiple photo selections.

Cascade = any amount photo selection

Example Cascade:

  1. Landscape
    1. Landscape (season)
    2. Landscape (content)
    3. Landscape (event)
  2. Portrait
    1. Portrait (season)
    2. Portrait (content)
    3. Portrait (event)
  3. Format 16:9
    1. Aspect ratio 16:9 (season)
    2. Aspect ratio 16:9 (content)
    3. Aspect ratio 16:9 (event)
  4. Format 4:3
    1. Aspect ratio 4:3 (season)
    2. Aspect ratio 4:3 (content)
    3. Aspect ratio 4:3 (event)

Cascade can aggregate any photo selection amount.

As there are more photos in cascade, you can remove the top-one using right-click.
Lower cascade level will be shown for “4:3” collection.

Configuration

Product Editor
Product preselections [1] can be grouped in Cascades [2] tab

Profiles

To make cascades [3] visible in Fred add those to a profile [2] in Content Selector [1]

Photos: full edit

Hubert Photos are trimmed to frame dimension. Due to this full photo scaling in InDesign was not possible .

We have implemented option* to perform full photo scaling.

*Option works only for Phoboss photos because to perform full scaling original photo is required.
Option does not work for photos uploaded from user’ local disc.

To perform full photo scale:

  1. Right click photo, choose [Hubert] Photos –> Unlock full edit

Uncutted original photo is downloaded to user local disk.

2. From now on user can freely change / scale the picture.

Example result:

3. As there are all photo pixels available, user can adjust frame geometry itself
Please note: If you change geometery, please perform Check-in spread

Phil projects

Not used phil projects older than 40 days will be deleted
Three phil project categories won’t be deleted.

  • green DEFAULT
  • lightblue WORKSPACE
  • white PROJECT (projects there were never published)

Deleted projects are stored on server and can be restored (in case somebody deletes project by mistake)

Mutable frames

Mark module shows now a small indicator [1] telling about link source.

Name day

Hubert knows now when a person has its name day.

To use it in layout insert macro name day [1] and choose language (each country has its own name day calendar).

For the current moment we support finnish and polish name days.
Additional languages can be implemented on demand.

Parameter descripton:
Tag: Name day [1]
Format: person count
Language: Finnish | Polish
Separator [2]: this is separator for names

Macro “short issue year”

Added new macro %SYEAR_ISSUE% [2]. It expands to short issue year (2018 —> 18)
New macro is just a shortened version of %YEAR_ISSUE% [1]

Font libraries

We have implemented in Hubert a feature called Document fonts*
Required fonts are bundled into font libraries and downloaded on page sync to user workstations.
Fonts are active only temporary – as long a given spread is open.

Configuration
Product can have a font library assigned including all fonts required.
In Mark module, under Product Libraries [1] there is new library category Fonts [2]
This is the place to upload all required product fonts for given magazine.

Use
While user opens a page from Hubert, font library is saved to /Document Fonts on user’ hard disk.

How it works
Quotation: If you put fonts in /Document Fonts and that /Document Fonts folder lives in the same folder as the .indd file, InDesign will automatically activate those fonts when the InDesign document is opened.

Performance

Edward

Edward performance is measured by time user has to wait for operation to complete.

To have a better overview of Edward [1] performance we collect more data.
Keyword here is Performance [2]

Under Duration column you will find execution time in ms. Highlighted value [3] means that listing tab loading time took 5863 ms —> almost SIX seconds.

Preselection parameters

GetPreselection [1] selector was equipped with new parameters [2] to retrieve more information about preselected photo.


Now you can ask for:

[1]  mediafile or mediarecord id
[2] cut parameteres

FCA

Filters

Until now a FCA filter was able to cope with BOOL field type only.

We introduce syntax constructor that allows you build logical condition on any field type.
Find below how syntax constructor looks in UI:

Some new field operations:

STRING eq, is null, contains, begins …
INT eq, >, >= <, <=, !=, is null
BOOL eq / true / false / null

Python: GetPhotoSelections

There is a new function in Python syntax available. Function returns selected photo count for a given record in a given preselection.

Func: GetPhotoSelections

returns collection ContentRecordPhotoSelection which contains PhotoId also

Profiles

In iteration 2018.02.R1 we started to rewrite Profiles to browser-based technology. In current release subsequent profiles have been rewritten – those are marked in screenshot.

Oxana

Re-export selected channel(s)

Re-export selected channel(s) is now possible.

Imogene

Imogene uses PhoBoss picture database [1] to generate posters basing on different templates [2 i 3].

Workflow Status

Edward

Atomic button

Atomic button can apply automatic modifications. we have changed slightly operation sequence (first remove, than add). This change should prevent style spoiling during applying modifications.

Graphic Designers

Automatic versioning

Sometimes a file has to be send to printshop multiply times. A postfix indicating version is required.

page34_v2.pdf

Until now it was user responsibility. We can automate it with macro.

Examples

Example A

page[_v%VER%].pdf

Only one [  ] section in file name. This is a default section and defines postfix for every version higher than 0.

Macro will return following file names:

page.pdf
page_v1.pdf
page_v2.pdf
page_v3.pdf

Example B

page[1:_neu][_neu%VER%].pdf

First section [1:_neu] defines first version prefix.

Next section is default one and will affect every version – except defined ones and version 0.

Macro will return following file names:

page.pdf
page_neu.pdf (due to [1:_neu])
page_neu2.pdf (default section)
page_neu3.pdf (default section)

Background

Postfixes are to be declared in section [ ]

[n: something] defines postfix for specific version.

Macro %VER% returns file version (index).

Hint: we count versions starting from zero [0:]

Second delivery is version one [1:]

Admin

Create online product

To set up an online product quicker we have implemented a creator.


Two functions are essential:

[1] Create area based on existing one. This function copies all permissions to different FRED components (schemas, filters, rubrics etc.) It is a real time saver.
[2] Channel import from CSV file

Web Profiles

Profile Manager has been adapted to web-based technology and can be launched from Trampoline.

Application access has to granted in UAC (Aloha_App_Profiles_Manager)

Edward

Add multiple records

Multiple record selection is possible. Press indicated plus. Multiple programs will be inserted into column

InCopy

Mutated frames

Prior to editing mutated frame content, one had to check out frame itself (in structure view).

This preparation step is not required any longer.

By attempt to edit a mutated frame you will be given following choice:

  • Edit in parent [1] (default)
    Parent document will be opened, check-out on parent frame
  • Disable mutation [2]
    Mutation for current frame gets disabled. Check-out on current frame

Edit in parent

Take a closer look:

  1. Check out
  2. User choose Edit in parent

3. Parent document is opened (screenshot, depicted on the right) and text cursor is placed at same record.

Issue Manager

Page structure

Additional infos

In the red-rimmed place we show technical identificators. And yes – you can copy (CTRL+C) those.

Show frames without selected photos

Sometimes frames without a selected photo are covered by other layout elements.

We have added a button (encircled in screenshot) to pull those frame to foreground.

Compare off [1] and on [2] states in the below screenshot.

[1] OFF: frame without a photo not visible

[2] ON: photo frame visible

[3] layout element covering photo frame

Keyboard shortcuts

We have added new keyboard shortcuts for toggling photo frame visibility.

Current shortcuts are (bold = new)

  • Tab toggle all frame visibility
  • Alt + Tab toggle photo frames visibility

FRED

Search

Search got simplified. Search box [1] is now visible always.

  • [2] search mode
  • [3] items to be searched (collapsible)
  • [4] search range

Rabbit mode

Default search mode is rabbit mode [1] (also known as quick search)

Quick search mode will return results containing search query.

Example 1

Search query Tages [2] will return results containing “Tages”

  • Tagesschau [3]
  • Tagesthemen [4]

Example 2

Search query ages [1] will search for “ages”

Two records contain phrase “ages”:

  • Tagesschau [2]
  • Tagesthemen [3]

Simple mode

Search routine in simple mode:

  1. search entire phrase (phrase searching)
  2. search for first word [1]
  3. search for second word [2]

Example:

Following three search words build up a search phrase:

  • wetter [1]
  • vor [2]
  • acht [3]

First search attempt returns “full match” (Wetter vor acht).

Further search attempts searches for words separately (therefore “Börse vor acht”)

Result sorting

In simple mode search results are sorted by relevance [1]. Best hits are displayed at the top [2].

Keywords

Keyword mode [1] is still available. List of searchable keywords is configurable [2].

Using keyword mode we can search among all emissions [1] for Forrest Gump movie [2]
Pay attention to search range [3] which is set to blue – search in all data available.

Advanced mode

We leave to your disposal advanced mode [1]

Using it you can build complex queries like: search in all emissions [2] for specific serie episode number [3]

Search range

Search range defines how wide search scope should be.

Languages

This combo defines search languages and language for result values.

Rubrics

Selection time span

By hovering rubric symbol you will see record selection time range.

Photos

Turn off filters

Yellow bar informs that some filter are active and therefore not all photos are visible.

At the marked place you can disable filters.

Area color

A photo has its native area. We distinguish areas by adding background color (set in Phoboss Admin)

Change media file

In content selector you are given with an option to exchange a media file.

Alternatively you can do it in structure view.
