 3 Improvements and Bugfixes

3.1 General Improvements and Bugfixes

• NEW To improve our support, it is now also possible to enable verbose Windows crash dumps when
creating a support info file. There is a new option for this in the "Configure Diagnostics" dialog.

• BUGFIX In the web ticket system (under "Help" > "Web tickets") hyperlinks in the comment field did
not work.

• BUGFIX In version 23, the number of printer drivers in the recent file list was limited to 20. This
has been increased to 50.

Color Management:

• BUGFIX DeviceLink profiles were not shown in the list of MIMs in the dialogs "Import MIM combina-
tions" and "MIM Administration".

• BUGFIX If a MIM with a DeviceLink from version 21 was used in version 23, this resulted in an RPC
error.

• BUGFIX When calculating xCLR profiles with canonical channel order (gamut enhancing at channel
five and beyond) in version 23, the red channel did not work.

• BUGFIX In version 23, a defined channel color in n-color mode could not be synchronized correctly
in the "Color Correction" tab of the advanced settings, so that a visual assignment of the channels
was not possible.

Cropping:

• BUGFIX When defining a completely new cropping area with the mouse, the changes were not visi-
ble until right clicking on the window.

Licensing:

• BUGFIX For software-based licenses, if the license had expired and therefore the program did not
start, the corresponding pop-up message did not clearly inform why the program could not be
started.

Preview:

• NEW In the media preview, the substrate color can now also be selected via a separate menu.

Special Colors:

• BUGFIX When a special color was set to the mode "Spot" in the "Print Mode" tab of the advanced
settings, its intensity was applied to other special colors that used the "Selective" mode.

User Interface:

• BUGFIX In the "Color Correction" dialog, the "Evaluation" tab was truncated in Windows 10.

manually was removed because the segment lengths are fixed.

• BUGFIX If the "Cutting" function was enabled and Summa barcodes were used, cropping and scaling
of a job reduced the width of the printable area.
This also resulted in incorrect container layouts.

• BUGFIX In version 23, the option "Width of external border" was missing in the Device Configura-
tion and the "Print Cut Job Id" option was in an incorrect place.
