FileVista v8.0.2

Version 8.0.2 - June 3, 2020

• Improved: FileManager will generate higher quality thumbnails (without artifacts) for image files containing an EXIF thumbnail in
  "Large icons", "Medium icons" and "Tiles" view layouts. Note that this does not effect "Extra large icons" view layout or images without
  an EXIF thumbnail, because in those cases, higher quality thumbnails were already generated.

• Added: Better child window management. Minimized windows will be stacked neatly at the bottom like a taskbar (no more on top of each other).
  Ensured position and size for minimized, restored, maximized states are always correct (e.g. when parent component is resized).
  Tooltips for long titles on minimized windows.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Auto exif orientation for multi-page TIFFs, only first frame was being rotated.

  • Improved: Stability, performance for conversion of raster image files to Portable formats.

• Added: New "Application Title" setting in "Application Settings" for changing default title "FileVista" shown on login and other pages.

• Improved: New UI for header (top bar) on main page. Planning to update UI for administration panel on next versions.

    Also an error dialog will be shown on other errors (e.g. no internet connection).

FileVista v7.36.0

Version 7.36.0 - January 24, 2020

• Fixed: After updating to 7.35.5 and running you may have received an error due to invalid value in database ("KB" for MaxZipFileSize in Setting table).

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Viewing some files (or converting when hosted on IIS) caused StackOverflowException. The viewer would only show "Status: error"
    message without details as it was not possible to catch this exception. This was expecially reproducable for PDFs with signed certificates.
    IIS (also IIS Express) reduces the regular 1 MB stacksize to 512KB (and to 256 KB on 32-bit w3wp.exe) and this caused some conversions to
    fail with this exception.
    This is now prevented. If current thread's stack size is lower than the required stack size, a new thread will be created with the required
    stack size and the conversion will be done inside this thread to prevent StackOverflowException.

  • Improved: DocumentCache will from now on consider zero-sized cached files as not existing because they are usually left overs from failed
    old cache attempts. For example some exceptions are not catch-able like StackOverflowException so sometimes it may not be possible to cleanup
    a newly created zero-sized cache file before the process exists.
    This will prevent "Downloading file part error occured and could not get the reason." error when a conversion was not working before but
    it was fixed later (a zero-sized cached file will trigger a re-conversion).

• Improved: New product icon for installer and new favicon for web application. Also made sure favicon is loaded even if FileVista is
  installed to a subdirectory (e.g. contoso.com/filevista).

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v7.35.5

Version 7.35.5 - January 9, 2020

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Added: Support for viewing STL File Format (3D Printing).

• Improved: Updated Media Player.

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v7.35.1

Version 7.35.1 - November 27, 2019

• Fixed: File Uploader's "Add files" button was broken on iOS and Android (clicking did nothing) since 7.32.0 (since new uploader).

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Some PDFs with annotations failed to load, i.e appeared loading indefinitely, but actually an error was thrown in the console:
    "Unsupported XPZ document element type"
