With Switch 12 update 2 the behavior of the installer is changed. When you start the installer to install the Switch Server 12 update 2 and one of the Switch services is still active, the installation will stop and a window appears:
This window shows you a list of the active services and gives a short explanation on how to stop the services. You cannot go on with the installation, as long as a service is still active. After stopping Switch and all related services please press Retry to finish the installation.
With the introduction of the Remote Designer in Switch 12, we noticed the need for an indication of whether or not flow changes are saved. This is necessary to avoid that unsaved changes are lost if a different Remote Designer connects to Switch Server.
From now on, as soon as you start changing a flow, the flow name is displayed in italics and followed by an asterisk. This indicates that the flow hasn’t been saved yet.
To save the flow, you can use the new Save flow button in the toolbar, or the Save flow option in the Flow menu or context menu.
Note that flows must be saved, before they can be activated. If this is not the case, or if the Designer is closed without having saved the changes, the following message appears:
Note:
As long as the flows are not saved, the changes are stored in the local cache on disk on the Designer side.
If the changes made to a flow are not correct, it is now possible to go back to the last version of the saved flow. Simply use the new Revert Flow button in the toolbar (or the Revert flow option in the Flow or context menu).
From now on, you can change the colors of folders and connections in your Flow design. This improves the usability: you can easily distinguish between input and network folders, between different connections…
To change the color of connections and folders
Alternatively, you can set the color via the Properties pane.
In previous versions of Switch, connections could be highlighted with two “conditional” colors (i.e. the color changes if a particular condition has been met):
From now on, an extra “conditional” color is used:
Important!
These “conditional colors” will take priority over the “custom” colors set via the Connector properties.
For example, even if you have chosen green for a particular connection, its color will change to orange when the connection is set on hold. When the connection is released, the chosen color (green) will be restored.
To be able to document your flow in a better way, you can now add a description to each element, connection and tool in Switch, in the Properties pane.
When you move your mouse over a flow element on the canvas, the description (if available) will be shown as a tooltip.
Changed behavior
If you are using the Remote Designer in “Read-only” mode, this will be indicated in the title bar of the application.
Add version number separator
“Add version number” has a new sub-property for Output folders, Archive hierarchy and FTP send. It now allows you to add a separator to version numbers of documents of which you would like to keep the duplicates.
To add a separator to version numbers, proceed as follows:
Split PDF
If you are using Split PDF, you can now use variables and script expressions to define the number of pages per file.
Twixl Publisher provides automated creation and distribution of rich content apps for iOS and Android-based tablets.
Enfocus Switch can be used to automate different parts of a Twixl Publisher workflow by involving and automating other applications. Publishers can now automatically check and optimize PDF’s before publish them in multi-issue apps. Further down the production workflow, Enfocus Switch can upload publications to the Twixl Distribution Platform, providing publishers an automated way to add new issues to their weekly or monthly magazines.
