Miscellaneous Changes

There is a new confirmation dialog that appears when users attempt to remove assets from their own collection. This prevents other users from unintentionally losing access to an asset in a job or review if the original uploader removes it. The dialog informs users that removing the asset may affect other users and that they must explicitly confirm before the asset is actually removed.

When more than ten items are selected in search fields such as text search, categories, file type/extensions, or tags, the extra items are now truncated to "...".

Previously, only the first ten items were fully displayed, and other items were missing. This was confusing to the user because the full selection was nowhere to be seen.

The ellipsis ... lets users know that the selection is larger than the ten items displayed. This lets users know that they may need to narrow their search criteria to get better results. At the same time, users can see that all selected search criteria are being considered, not just the visible entries. Hovering over ... displays all items in a tooltip.

This little feature is useful for those of you who do not use the Gallery view, but prefer to see the search results in List view.

In List view, the file type is now also indicated by a coloured marker in front of the asset name.

The SOAP interface has been retired with version 8.0. The REST interface completely replaces the old SOAP interface. If you are still using the SOAP interface, you should switch to the REST API as soon as possible before upgrading.

By standardizing on REST, developers only need to focus on one interface technology. This makes it easier to develop custom solutions for the platform. REST is the more modern and widely used technology for API calls. Focusing on REST instead of SOAP ensures the continued development and long-term support of the interfaces
