New in InCatalog 2.31.1 (Jan 16, 2024)
- This patch fixes a link marker drawing issue.
New in InCatalog 2.31.0 (Jan 16, 2024)
- This release adds data link multi-selection and fixes the missing picture indicator.
New in InCatalog 2.30.2 (Nov 9, 2023)
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30.1 release that could draw a stray close marker for a data link near the end of the story.
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30.1 release that might not show a close marker for a data link at the end of the story.
New in InCatalog 2.30.1 (Oct 21, 2023)
- Changes:
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30 release that can make InDesign shut down when selecting a data source or data destination while InCatalog’s Data Linker is showing.
- Fixes text-selection link markers to draw properly when a data link has been applied to a character that’s participating in a ligature.
- Changes whole-cell data link markers to draw as cell-size brackets just inside the cell’s boundary. Note that markers may not be shown if a cell’s entire content is overset.
- Changes whole-frame data link markers to draw as frame-size brackets just inside the frame’s path instead of outside the frame.
New in InCatalog 2.30.0 (Oct 11, 2023)
- Changes:
- Adds support for InDesign 2024.
- Discontinues support for InDesign 2021. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely. Download links for final-version installers for older versions of InDesign that we no longer support can be found in the sidebar of InCatalog’s Release History page.
- Fixes a long-standing problem where no error is given when a key from link field is selected and the Key edit area is empty.
- Fixes a number of issues with the Data Linker that could cause it to become confused (like when changing Field, Key Type, or Price Style).
- Fixes a problem where the Data Linker might not notice when undo is used to restore a data link.
- Fixes a problem where the Data Linker isn’t updating the Key edit area as the content of a key from content data link changes.
New in InCatalog 2.29.3 (Jun 29, 2023)
- Fixes Clear All Links > in Selection to work properly with any selection including text, table cells, grouped items, and multiple items. All text links that are fully or partially within a text or item selection are removed. For text frames, only links in table cells and inlined items that are within the selected frame are removed.
- Addresses a compatibility problem on macOS Ventura 13.3 (and later) that could cause ODBC connections to fail with a [iODBC][Driver Manager]Driver's SQLAllocEnv() failed message. (macOS only)
- Fixes a problem that could shut down InDesign when working with a URL that’s missing a path component (like http://emsoftware.com).
New in InCatalog 2.29.2 (Mar 1, 2023)
- Fixes a problem with the License dialog when showing a license that has expired.
- Fixes licensing maintenance and stability issues.
New in InCatalog 2.29.1 (Dec 21, 2022)
- Works around a problem in Adobe’s InDesign 2023 18.1 Windows release that can cause InDesign to quit unexpectedly during startup with an “Entry Point Not Found” error when loading a plug-in made for the initial InDesign 2023 18.0 release that includes a “Save File”-type dialog (like InCatalog’s Create Data File dialog). (Windows-only)
New in InCatalog 2.29 (Oct 28, 2022)
- Adds support for InDesign 2023.
- Moves all product licensing to subscriptions. For licensing information, please see InDesign 2023 plugins released.
- Discontinues support for InDesign 2020. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely. Download links for final-version installers for older versions of InDesign that we no longer support can be found in the sidebar of InCatalog’s Release History page.
New in InCatalog 2.28.1 (Jun 16, 2022)
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.28 release that could cause InDesign to shut down when updating with ODBC.
New in InCatalog 2.28 (May 10, 2022)
- Changes:
- Adds Create links for auto-downloaded pictures to the Update Document panel of InCatalog’s Preferences dialog that enables high resolution previews by saving the picture as a local file in a Downloads folder within the document’s parent folder, creating the folder if needed, and then creating a link to that file. If the document has no parent folder (if it’s a new document that hasn’t yet been saved, for example), pictures are saved to the user’s own Downloads folder (~/Downloads) instead.
- Adds a setting to the Update Document panel of InCatalog’s Preferences dialog for selecting the location of InCatalog’s Downloads folder, which can go in either the document’s folder (the default) or the DD Set folder.
- Adds a Prevent naming collisions option to the Update Document panel of InCatalog’s Preferences dialog which, when enabled, attempts to prevent confusion between like-named internet resources by creating a deep folder structure for all downloaded pictures within the Downloads folder that’s based on the source URL’s host name and path components.
- Adds Re-import pictures only when modified or replaced to the Update Document panel of InCatalog’s Preferences dialog to provide control over whether and how already-placed pictures are re-imported. When enabled, InCatalog’s update will ignore a picture that isn’t changing, update the link if the picture isn’t changing but its associated file has been modified, or relink if the existing picture is being replaced.
- Note that a relink will use InDesign’s own Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking preference (in the File Handling panel) to size the replacement image. If selected, the new image is scaled to retain the size of the picture that it’s replacing; if not, then the scaling of the replaced picture is preserved.
- When disabled (the historical default), an InCatalog update always places and positions a picture from scratch, whether it’s being replaced or not.
- Deletes the indexed version of a data snapshot (that “.x” file that suddenly appears in snapshot’s folder when a data file is opened or created) automatically, by default, when the snapshot is closed. Previously (for 30-some years), the snapshot index file was always preserved so that it could be re-used when the snapshot was next opened.
- Adds a Retain snapshot index file on data snapshot close checkbox to InCatalog’s Data Snapshot preference panel. When selected, the snapshot index file that’s generated when a snapshot is opened or created will *not* be automatically deleted when the snapshot is closed. Keeping the file around can help reduce the time it takes to re-open large data snapshots.
- Adds a much-needed progress bar for document and data updates.
- Fixes a long-standing problem where data exported to a snapshot file could be lost if the snapshot was opened or created with Don’t re-create data snapshot at close selected.
New in InCatalog 2.27.1 (Nov 18, 2021)
- This patch fixes issues with path extraction and HFS-style paths.
- Changes:
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.26 release that caused linked file content to be extracted as Unix/POSIX-style, slash-separated paths on macOS. With this release, extracted file paths are once again HFS-style, colon-separated paths (which also fixes the InCatalog preference Extract picture path levels setting if a level other than All is selected).
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.26 release that could prevent a file from being found if its HFS-style relative path contained a parent directory reference (the double colons in ::images:pic.png).
- Adds License… to the InCatalog menu when running as a demo for easier access to InCatalog’s License dialog.
New in InCatalog 2.27.0 (Oct 27, 2021)
- Adds support for InDesign 2022.
- If you purchased a license since May 1, 2021, we’ve already sent you an auto-upgrade email containing a InCatalog upgrade license in the past few days. If you didn’t get one, and are eligible (our salesbot misses some special cases), first search your spam folder or ask the person who made the purchase, and then feel free to contact our sales department.
- Discontinues support for InDesign CC 2019 and InDesign CS6. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely. Download links for final-version installers for versions of InDesign that we no longer support can be found in the sidebar of InCatalog’s Release History page.
New in InCatalog 2.26.1 (Aug 28, 2021)
- Changes:
- Adds support for data using a currency format that differs from the system’s current Language & Region settings. The new [."<digitGroupingSymbol><decimalSymbol>"] qualifier, when added to a DD file’s key field, sets the thousands and decimal separators that InCatalog expects when updating price fields from a data source and will use when extracting price fields to a data destination. For example, [.".,"] tells InCatalog to expect numbers with a comma as the decimal symbol (like “1,99”) from the data source and to send numbers with a comma as the decimal symbol to the data destination.
- If not set in the DD, the system’s Language & Region currency symbols are used.
- InCatalog uses the system’s current Language & Region currency symbols when updating price fields in a document (just as it always has).
- Fixes a problem that caused imports of URLs with query delimiters, like the ampersand in https://foo.bar.com/XYZ?format=jpg&name=large, to fail.
- Fixes a problem that caused imports of shortened URLs, like https://t.co/84V0abbl4S, to fail. Redirected and moved URLs are now followed.
- Fixes a problem that caused updates of tagged text fields to produce garbage characters on Apple silicon machines.
New in InCatalog 2.26.0 (Jul 13, 2021)
- Installs a Universal binary for InDesign 2021 on macOS with native support for both Intel and, when used with InDesign 2021 16.3 (or later), Apple silicon (M1/ARM64) processors. InCatalog’s About dialog now shows which slice of the binary was loaded as part of its version (as “(Intel)” or “(Apple)”).
- Accepts URLs in addition to DOS, Windows, UNC, Apple HFS, and POSIX-style paths to allow the import of internet-based pictures and text.
- Note that a 3rd party plug-in or connector that supports the URL’s scheme may be required for the import to succeed.
- Adds automatic downloading and importing of remote content (pictures and/or text) for URLs that InDesign isn’t able to access on its own (meaning, for which there’s no built-in support nor 3rd-party connector plug-in installed). Remote content is generally imported as if it was a local file, except that no link is created.
- Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.25 release that could show garbage text in the Data Linker‘s Key and Field fields when selecting a just-created text frame.
New in InCatalog 2.25.0 (Mar 13, 2021)
- Improves the editing of text-selection links by monitoring the cursor’s trajectory when navigating text with arrow keys. When the cursor arrives at the start or end of a link from outside the link, any text that’s typed or pasted will be inserted outside of the link (where “outside” may actually be inside an abutting link). Similarly, when the cursor arrives at the start or end of a link from inside that link, any text that’s typed or pasted will be inserted inside that link.
- Allows text to be inserted in front of a text-selection link that’s at the very beginning of a story or table cell. To do this, move the cursor to the beginning position and then re-select that same position with the left arrow key, the Home key, or with a (single) mouse click. The first arrival selects the link, just as it always has. The second arrival at that same position now puts the cursor in a virtual position that’s before (and outside of) the link and shows No Link in InCatalog’s Data Linker panel.
- Allows text to inserted after a text-selection link that’s at the very end of a story or table cell. To do this, move the cursor to the end position and then re-select that same position with the right arrow key, the End key, or with a (single) mouse click. The first arrival selects the link, just as it always has. The second arrival at that same position now puts the cursor in a virtual position that’s after (and outside of) the link and shows No Link in InCatalog’s Data Linker panel.
- Allows text to be inserted directly between two adjacent, abutting text-selection links. To do this, move the cursor to a position that’s between the links and then re-select that same position with a (single) mouse click. The initial arrival selects the link to the cursor’s left, just as it always has. The second arrival at that same position now puts the cursor in a virtual position that’s between (but outside of) both links and shows No Link in InCatalog’s Data Linker panel.
- Fixes a long-standing problem with updating multiple, XPress-Tagged links that could prevent character face tags (like B, I, U, etc.) from toggling correctly.
New in InCatalog 2.24.1 (Jan 6, 2021)
- This patch mainly fixes online connections with FileMaker Pro versions 7 through 11.
New in InCatalog 2.24.0 (Nov 3, 2020)
- Adds support for InDesign 2021:
- If you purchased a license since Feb 1, 2020 (the start of our 6-month grace period, which we extended a bit this year to cover the COVID-19 pandemic), we’ve already sent you an auto-upgrade email containing a InCatalog upgrade license in the past few days. If you didn’t get one, and are eligible (our salesbot misses some special cases), first search your spam folder, and then feel free to contact our sales department.
- Discontinues support for InDesign CC 2018. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely.
- Fixes a problem where updating an XPress Tagged catalog link with InDesign tags wrapped with a <&it"""..."""> would remove the link.
- Uses InDesign’s native import filter when updating a catalog link that’s marked as InDesign Tagged if the tagged text begins with an InDesign signature (start-file tag) like <ASCII-MAC>. This removes the need to wrap fields containing InDesign tags for tables, hyperlinks, or other advanced constructs with a <&it"""..."""> tag and then import them as XPress Tagged.
New in InCatalog 2.23.0 (Sep 22, 2020)
- Adds support for InDesign 2020.
- If you purchased a license since Feb 1, 2019 (the start of our 9-month grace period), we’ve already sent you an auto-upgrade email in the past few days. If you didn’t get one, and are eligible (our salesbot misses some special cases), first search your spam folder, and then feel free to contact our sales department.
- Removes support for InDesign CS5, CS5.5, and versions of CC prior to 2018. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to these discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely.
New in InCatalog 2.16.2 (Dec 17, 2015)
- Fixes a compatibility issue that could cause the odbc driver to shut the application down. (Mac OS only)
- Fixes problems introduced in the 2.16.1 release that could cause odbc updates to fail, truncate fields, or shut the application down.
- Fixes a batch folder problem introduced in the 2.14.1 release that was causing .xbc files to be ignored.
- Fixes the formatting of prices in non-US locales. (Windows only)
- Fixes a problem where using keys longer than 62 characters could cause snapshot updating to fail.
New in InCatalog 2.16.1 (Dec 17, 2015)
- Fixes a problem where Create Data File and Open Data File could fail without reporting a problem. (Mac OS X 10.11 “El Capitan” only)
- Fixes a problem where posix-style paths like /Users/em/Pictures/Rhubarb.jpg weren’t being handled properly, resulting in missing files. (Mac OS X only)
- Fixes a problem where filenames with an embedded colon (displayed as a forward slash in Finder) were not being handled properly. (Mac OS X only)
- Improves path handling so that a path like Pictures/apple:red.jpg is now treated as a posix path rather than an hfs path. A path like :Pictures:apple/red.jpg is still seen as hfs. (Mac OS X only)
- Improves support for Windows unc paths like \\[servername]\[sharename]\..., where the sharename becomes the OS X volume reference. (Mac OS X only)
New in InCatalog 2.16.0 (Dec 17, 2015)
- Introduces custom installers for a simpler and more reliable installation experience. Find your current version of InDesign in the list (see InCatalog for InDesign CS5–CC2015 in the sidebar to the right) and then click on the link that’s appropriate for your OS (Mac OS or Windows). Once the installer has downloaded, open the application (.exe, on Windows) or package (.pkg, on Mac OS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Adds support for direct connections with FileMaker Pro 14. (Mac OS X only)
- Works around an InDesign problem which could, on some machines, cause a licensed InCatalog installation to revert to a demo plug-in after restarting InDesign. (CC 2014 10.2+ and CC 2015, Mac OS X only)
- Fixes a problem introduced with the 2.15 release that could prevent the loading of price style files and tagged text initialization files with a TXT extension.
- Fixes a problem where links weren’t always being created for missing pictures.
- Fixes a problem where DD, price style and Xtags initialization files encoded as UTF-8 could fail to load. y)
New in InCatalog 2.15.0 (Jul 23, 2015)
- This release adds support for just-released InDesign CC 2015 and abandons Extension Manager CC in favor of, for now, a manual installation procedure (see below).
- Changes:
- Adds support for InDesign CC 2015. The CC 2015 plug-in requires a valid InCatalog CC 2015-level license.
- Abandons Adobe’s Extension Manager CC application as the preferred means of installing CC plug-ins. Because Adobe has deprecated Extension Manager, and, more importantly, because the latest Extension Manager update appears to break installation with zxp files altogether (not that it was ever all that reliable), we have decided to move away from Extension Manager and zxp-based installs.
- While we work on creating our own, custom InDesign CC installers, we will be providing our CC plug-ins as manual installations. What this means is that you will need to select the download link in the sidebar that’s appropriate for your OS (Mac OS or Windows), expand the downloaded zip file, and then drag files out of the archive and drop them into your InDesign app’s Plug-ins folder (for which you’ll need administrative privileges).
- Step-by-step installation instructions are included in the readme within the archive.
- On Windows, please pay particular attention to whether you’re installing into a 32- or 64-bit application as indicated in InDesign’s About dialog (it shows x32 after the version number for a 32-bit application, x64 for 64-bit). In the download, we’ve included both 32- and 64-bit plug-ins for CC, but only 64-bit plug-ins, the default, for CC 2014 and CC 2015.
New in InCatalog 2.14.0 (Jan 13, 2015)
- Adds support for updating links of a frame or group that has been “pasted into” the selected frame when updating that frame.
- Corrects a limitation of the Select Data Descriptor and Get Data Snapshot dialogs so that All Files can now be shown as selectable. (Mac only)
- Fixes a problem where exporting long fields (more than 255 characters) to Microsoft Excel via ODBC would result in an “Invalid precision value” error. (Windows only)
New in InCatalog 2.13.3 (Jan 13, 2015)
- Fixes a price styling problem introduced in version 2.12 that was causing updates of international (non-U.S.) prices to be formatted incorrectly.
New in InCatalog 2.13.2 (Jan 13, 2015)
- Fixes a problem introduced in 2.12 where exiting the Select Data Descriptor dialog could cause InDesign CC and InDesign CC 2014 to shut down. (Windows only)
New in InCatalog 2.13.1 (Jan 13, 2015)
- Adds support for InDesign CC 2014. The CC 2014 plug-in is a free update from CC that requires a valid InCatalog CC-level or CC 2014-level (version 9 or 10) license. Please contact our sales department to purchase an upgrade license from a pre-CC plug-in or to see if you qualify for a free upgrade
- Adds handy links to the InCatalog menu for internet-based product support
- Fixes a problem with the “selected group” parameter of scripted updates where the selection of a group in the document would be ignored
- Fixes the UpdateDocumentUsingString() scripting method, which contained a 2nd (duplicate) DD parameter. (Windows only)
- Fixes a problem where a plug-in might not find its license code if it’s being used in both the 32-bit and 64-bit InDesign CC applications in Windows. (Windows only)
New in InCatalog 2.12.3 (Apr 29, 2014)
- Adds a tagger palette warning for when a link’s indirect key can’t be found, which indicates that there’s no link with a direct key (key from link or key from content) within reach of the link with the indirect key (key from group or key from text) and that the indirect link will fall back to using its own key (key from link).
- Fixes a problem where the key field of an indirect-style link (key from group, key from text) was being cleared when exported to an InCopy, snippet, or IDML file.
New in InCatalog 2.11 (Aug 13, 2013)
- Adds key from text ^, which searches a table’s column upwards for a key, starting with the link’s cell, and then, if no direct key is found in the column, searches the table’s host story as would key from text Paste without Formatting (Shift-Cmd-V), which behaves as if the pasted text was freshly typed by the user.
- Like before, text pasted inside an existing link always becomes a part of that link regardless of how the text is pasted.
- Improves compatibility with CS6′s Primary Text Frame feature.
- Adds .mer as as snapshot file type for FileMaker Pro 12 compatibility.
New in InCatalog 7/8.2.9.6 (Jul 28, 2012)
- Fixed a problem where text pasted into an existing link would split the link. Text pasted into a link now becomes part of the linked text.
New in InCatalog 6/7/8.2.9.5 (Jun 30, 2012)
- Added support for InDesign CS6.
- Improved compatibility with InDesign’s Smart Text Reflow feature.
- When importing InDesign Tagged Text using the &it tag, a start file tag is now allowed and, if present, indicates the desired encoding of the import. A “narrow” tag like at the beginning of the tagged text now forces the tagged text to be treated as Roman/Latin characters and enables special character tags like. Likewise, a wide tag like forces the tagged text to be treated as Unicode characters. For example, will now properly place the bullet character.
- The default encoding, when no start file tag is provided, has not changed and is still UNICODE.
- Fixed a problem where a start file tag like in InDesign-tagged text could cause the field update to fail.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.4 (Apr 19, 2012)
- This patch release fixes a problem with the handling of special “start file” tags in InDesign Tags-tagged fields.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.3 (Apr 5, 2012)
- This patch release fixes a problem with truncated keys and improves product stability.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.2 (Apr 5, 2012)
- This patch release fixes compatibility issues with InCopy, InDesign libraries, CJK languages and the indent-to-here character.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.1 (Aug 10, 2011)
- Catalog links can now be applied to and cleared from the text insertion point, just like native InDesign attributes.
- Fixed a problem where updating data from an unstyled price could cause a crash.
- Fixed a problem where selecting deleted text in the story editor could cause a crash.
- Fixed a scripting issue with accessing the ‘catalog link data’ property.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9 (Jul 7, 2011)
- Addressed the CS5.5 (7.5.1) compatibility issue.
- Added scripted access to the link marker showing and color settings.
- Fixed a problem where the tagger palette could stop updating after an InData import.
- Fixed a problem where the details of a fatal scripting error weren’t always being reported.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.4 (Apr 14, 2011)
- Added support for the &it tag in text injected as XPress Tagged.
- Fixed a problem where the ODBC Login dialog was being displayed when it hadn’t been requested (by a $"?" in the DD).
- Fixed a problem with styled price injection where applying a character style to the price was sometimes causing the appearance of overrides which cancelled out the applied style’s effects.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.3 (Feb 26, 2011)
- This minor release addresses an issue with scripted udpates.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.2 (Feb 15, 2011)
- Changed the default character encoding of ODBC connections to UTF-8. Previously, it was MacRoman in Mac OS and WinLatin in Windows. (Pro only)
- Fixed a problem introduced in the 6/7.2.7 release where the active global key separator character was no longer being displayed in the palette’s key field.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.1 (Feb 5, 2011)
- Added support for Unicode characters in the DD’s key, field and price style names.
- Fixed some subfield problems that were introduced in the 6/7.2.7 release which were preventing the output of multiple-value fields (like page numbers, for example).
- Fixed a problem introduced in 4/5/6.2.6.6 where a tag not followed by a CR was not being applied to the imported InDesign-tagged text.
- Fixed a problem where the text cursor was being displayed in the wrong position after an update.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8 (Jan 20, 2011)
- Added picture positioning options for sizing the box to its contained image. The tagger palette now sports positioning entries for “Size box to picture” and “Fit picture to box width, then size box to picture height”. Note that all box resizing is performed relative to the box’s upper-left corner.
- Added the script parameter DD set overridden to give scripted updates the option of temporarily ignoring a document’s associated DD set.
- Changed our DD validation policy to consider DD names with no file extension equivalent to the same DD filename with a “.txt” or ”.dd” extension. This should improve the compatibility of older documents tagged with an extension-less DD with newer OSes that require filename extensions. For example, a document originally populated with links from a DD named “mydd” could now be updated by a DD named “mydd.txt”.
- Fixed a problem where nested style names in InDesign-tagged text was being ignored.
- Fixed a problem introduced in 6/7.2.7.1 where the last spread in a scripted update was always being skipped.
- Fixed the picture positioning options “Upper left” and “Centered”, which weren’t resetting the picture’s scale to 100%.
- Fixed tagger enabling issues with empty picture frames and unknown frames.
- Fixed an obscure tagger problem where both text and picture elements were being displayed at the same time.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7.1 (Jan 6, 2011)
- Added the ability to include or ignore master pages for document updates using the new InCatalog > Ignore Master Pages menu item. Scripted updates may use the new “master pages ignored” modifier to control the master pages setting for each request. For backwards compatibility, master pages are ignored by default.
- Improved support for updating text links within type on a path.
- Fixed problems with the user interface which were disabling the tagger’s update buttons inappropriately in some situations.
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7 (Nov 29, 2010)
- Added support for InDesign CS5.
- Changed text link markers to display as brackets (like in Xcatalog) rather than as highlighting (which was hard to see in some situations). See InCatalog’s User Interface preferences for new, related settings.
- Added link markers for tagged page items.
- Fixed a problem where an overly long key field could cause a crash.
- Fixed a long-standing problem which could, in rare cases, cause the “don’t save on close” snapshot option to not work properly.
- Added full, bi-directional support for XPress-tagged text and anchored box tags in tagged text fields. The (new)
New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7 Beta 4 (Nov 17, 2010)
- Made the buttons in the data linker palette work.
- Changed text link markers to display as brackets (like in Xcatalog) rather than as highlighting (which was hard to see in some situations). See InCatalog’s User Interface preferences for new, related settings.
- Added link markers for tagged page items.
New in InCatalog 4/5/6.2.6.7 (Sep 26, 2010)
- A visual indicator (a big red question mark) is now added to every picture frame that is updated, but fails to load an image (i.e., when the linked picture can't be found). Information is also added to the affected picture frame such that the Links panel can be used to later find and reload the missing picture.
- Fixed a problem where changes to data settings (like delimiters and encoding) could cause .x files to become invalid or corrupt. Changes to data settings should now cause the .x file to be automatically regenerated.
- Fixed a long-standing problem where InDesign's typographer quotes, if left enabled, would interfere with the updating of quotes in plain-text and unquoted tagged text fields. InCatalog now automatically disables InDesign's typographer quotes for updates.
- Fixed a problem where, in edge cases involving spread updates and multiple linked text frames, only part of a table might be updated.
New in InCatalog 4/5/6.2.6.5 (Jan 28, 2010)
- Fixed a problem where pictures specified as being relative to the document's file weren't being found for "converted" documents (those templates and documents from previous versions of InDesign). [2609, 2610, 2611]
- Fixed a problem where the presence of an aliased folder in a partial picture path would cause the picture to not be found.
