GraFx Studio

Features

  • Our new AI assistant GraFx Genie can help you write actions! Just tell it what the action should do and it will generate the JavaScript code for you (available in experimental mode)
  • You can change the unit of a layout to millimeters or inches. This is a first step toward enabling print output with GraFx Studio! (available in experimental mode)

Improvements

  • You can reorder frames in the Layers panel by drag and drop. This changes the order in which frames are rendered on top of each other
  • Improved handling of invalid input in the property input fields
  • Added support for images with a custom crop in PDF output (available in experimental mode)

Fixes

  • Assets are shown twice in the Media panel
  • Selected frame is deleted when using the delete/backspace key while a dialog is open but the focus is not on the text input field
  • Actions that use the "Frame moved" trigger are executed multiple times when the frame is moved by holding down an arrow key
  • Action is not added to the undo/redo stack if the Folder setting for the GraFx Media connector was changed in the image variable settings
  • Cannot insert an empty text variable in a text frame
  • Not able to apply the default Arial font to text
  • Font style does not display the correct style when the default Arial font is used
  • Updated value of line height in character style is applied to the text only after entering text edit mode
  • Paragraph style cannot be set after deleting the used font
  • Paragraph style settings can't be opened by pencil icon if you clicked outside before
  • 'Null' is present for character style settings when you provide an invalid value
  • Copyfitting maximum value resets to the default value on frame movement
  • Text overflow warning icon is shown for a second when you switch between text frames in text edit mode

GraFx Studio

rn_icon

  • Fixed issue with output generation in both Template Designer workspace and Studio UI
  • You can now delete multiple paragraph and character styles, colors, and actions at once

Improvements to Actions (experimental feature):

  • An error icon is shown in the list of actions if the action contains errors
  • We added more flexibility to get and set properties in an action
  • We changed the method name to change the visibility of a frame: .include() is replaced by .setVisible()

Warning

This is a breaking change! Please update any template that uses this method (here you can find an example of how it works). Projects created from these templates will also be impacted, so it is advised to delete them and start new projects from the updated templates.

With this release, we introduced improvements to the GraFx Studio Smart Template editor

  • You're now able to reorder actions (this impacts the order of execution when multiple actions have the same trigger)

  • Action script is saved even if it contains errors (indicated with a red squiggly line). This is useful when you're in the middle of writing an action and you need to close the action interface to check something

releasenotes

  • Visual improvements to the action interface
  • Rename action trigger to "Selected layout changed"
  • Force action names to be unique
  • Show notification when closing or reloading GraFx Studio with unsaved changes
  • When inserting an image variable in an image frame that contains an image, this image is automatically set as default state for that image variable
  • Dialog to edit a character/paragraph style is not hidden behind the animation timeline anymore
  • Fixed issue with error tooltips
  • Add percentage sign behind line height value
  • Selecting another layout exits text editing mode
  • It's no longer possible to use a URL for an image variable (an asset ID must be used)

We also improved the GraFx Studio UI, the interface for the self-service use-case

  • Automatically zoom to page when another layout is selected by an action
  • Shortcuts to select another tool are disabled to prevent end-users from accidentally going into inline edit mode
  • Shortcut to open the debug panel is disabled
  • Show indicator and block new downloads while download is in progress
