New and Changed Functions
In this version, a completely redesigned import makes it much easier to import and edit new assets.

This release removes the limit on the number of assets that can be edited in a single session. Previously, editing was limited to a maximum of 200 assets per session. Now you can edit an unlimited number of assets at the same time. This change will make life easier for editors and content creators who need to create and edit a large number of assets. They will be able to work without intermediate steps. It should be noted, however, that editing a large number of assets at once can also mean that saving changes takes longer than usual.

The Import functionality has been completely redesigned. The update gives users full control over importing files. Instead of creating a new folder each time, the user can now upload files to an existing folder or create a new folder.
An Import button has been added to the upper right corner of the Import page. Clicking the Import button opens a new window with the Upload component. This allows users to upload additional files to an existing import folder. In previous versions, a new folder was created for each import.

When uploading assets, users can enter a custom name for the import directory or use an existing name. This makes it easier to find uploads later. In previous versions, "Upload, Date, Time" was the default name pattern for the import directory, but no custom directory could be selected for import.
Benefits:
-
Easier identification of assets after upload, as the folder has been given a meaningful name by the user.
-
Better organization and structuring of uploaded assets with the ability to name import folders.
-
Differentiate uploads by folder name for faster retrieval and sorting.
Rules and Restrictions for the Upload Folder name:
-
The name is a mandatory field and must not be empty.
-
The name is limited to 255 characters.
-
Once the upload has started, the folder name can no longer be changed.
In summary, this means that users must specify a folder name when uploading that is between 1 and 255 characters long and contains only valid alphanumeric characters and spaces. Once the upload has begun, the name cannot be changed. This ensures that the folder name is consistent and can be used to identify assets.

Compared to previous versions, users can now drag and drop local files from their computer into the search results or the open import area to upload them. The previous import option is still available. When a file is dragged into the window, a drag-and-drop area appears where files can be dropped.
When you release the mouse button, the Import dialog lists the files to be uploaded, but you still need to specify the new folder name or an existing folder before importing. If you do not have permission to upload individual media, no drop zone is displayed. In addition, the drop zone is not displayed when a dialog (widget) is open in the search results.
Drag-and-drop uploading provides a more convenient way for users to upload files, improving the user experience.

These enhancements make the Import dialog more convenient and efficient for users.
-
The new
button allows users to access the assets in the import folder immediately after importing. This eliminates the need to locate the folder in the import area as in previous versions.
-
A new close button has been added to the Import dialog. Users can close the dialog if they want to edit the assets later, or if they decide not to upload anything after all.
The buttons (❶Close, ❷ ) allow users to close the Import dialog after uploading or to access the imported assets directly. Clicking eliminates the need to search for the import.

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.

We've made uploading files faster and easier for you. Here's what's new:
-
Better upload feedback: You'll now see clear status messages throughout the upload process, so you always know what's happening with your files. No more guessing if your upload is complete.
-
Faster security checks: We've sped up the virus scanning process, helping you get your files uploaded more quickly and reliably.

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 displayed in full, and other items were missing. This was confusing to the user, as 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 improvement helps to display complex search queries in a more user-friendly way.
