- Added support for supplemental/merged Comma/Tab-Separated Values (CTSV) Ad Manifests.
- Added two ways to figure out a child ad‘s parent ID when the order entry system doesn‘t: (1) by automatically matching child ad Descriptions (“Desc” field) to House Display ad Descriptions; and (2) by manually added new “Correct ? Parent To AdvName” and “Correct ? Parent To Desc” Item Actions.
- Added “Make AdMAX Ad Manifest” Command to PCAB’s Products list (right-click in the Products list to see it), for two situations: (1) the paper checker has made adjustments in AdMAX, and wants to make a new Ad Manifest to confirm that the corrected issues are now gone; or (2) the paper checker wants to check a Product before publication, either for quality control (that is, while corrections can still be made in production before publication), or simply to get a head start on their auditing work, checking a Product as soon as its production is done.
- Added the ability to override inaccurate product widths and heights in Layout Dummied (fairly common) and InLay Paginated (rare) Geometry files—resulting in incorrect “w” (image file width) Discrepancies, or inaccurate advertising percentages, respectively, in PCAB—by defining Publication > Measurements > “Width” and/or “Height.”
- Corrected Classified Paginated Geometry file IDs for AdMAX-segmented liners/legals.
- Omitted “H” paginated height Discrepancies for items that ClassPag added a logo like “New Today” to, as these height differences are expected, and need not be investigated further by the paper checker; and added Item Info > Logo Added checkbox, next to paginated size, to show whether ClassPag added a logo.
- Added Publication > General > “Starting Page Number From Paginated Geometry” checkbox, for situations where a Layout product isn‘t really its own publication or even a separate physical section, but rather arbitrary pages within another larger product.
- Added “View Any Page” toolbar icon to Item Info dialog, which might be convenient when confirming that an item truly wasn’t paginated.
- Added “Geometry File” and “?” (Geometry File exists) extra columns to “View Any Page” list, to easily see which “page” Paginated Geometry Files were exported from pagination, which might be useful when trying to determine why PCAB incorrectly thought an item wasn’t paginated.
- Fixed possible font substitution viewing AdMAX liners and legals with evince or okular.
- Fixed issue where when a Note with more than 150 characters was entered, then the Item Info > Note > “*” button was used to repeat that Note, the repeated Note would be truncated.
- Fixed issue where PCAB did not show the image file size of liners, legals, and obits that were paginated but not ordered.
- Removed Publication > Measurements > “Legals Class” and “Obits Class,” in favor of more flexible Item Action > Action > “Legal” and “Obit.”
- Changed Preferences > Discrepancies > Thresholds > “< %” default from 75 to 90, per feedback from Lee.
- Added Preferences > Item Images > “Separate multiple directories via colons (:)” instruction.
- Added a few more Street Words to trim from order Addresses, finding ever-so-slightly-more child ads.
