InCatalog Changelog

What's new in InCatalog 2.31.2

Mar 6, 2024
  • This patch fixes home directory file references.

New in InCatalog 2.31.1 (Jan 16, 2024)

  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30.1 release where showing Link Markers could prevent text from drawing.

New in InCatalog 2.31 (Jan 16, 2024)

  • Adds support for the selection and editing of multiple, mixed-value data links.
  • Allows more than one selected item when applying a data link. Changes made in the Data Linker are now applied to each item in the selection (each cell in a table’s selected column, for example, or each existing link in a selected range of text).
  • Note that when table cells are selected, the data link is applied to the cell rather than to the text inside the cell. This can be a faster way to tag tabular text and also may be more durable since links on cells can’t be lost when the contained text is changed or deleted. Table cells that have data links show link markers around the whole cell.
  • Fixes a problem introduced in the InCatalog 2.24 release that can prevent the missing picture visual indicator (the red question mark) from showing within frames that have no applied Frame Fitting. The visual indicator is now scaled proportionally to fit the frame like it was before the 2.24 release.
  • Fixes a problem where downloading with a URL that contains a special character (that would need to be escaped with percent-encoding) could result in a 403 Forbidden (or other such) error.

New in InCatalog 2.30.2 (Nov 10, 2023)

  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30.1 release that could draw a stray close marker for a data link near the end of the story.
  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30.1 release that might not show a close marker for a data link at the end of the story.

New in InCatalog 2.30.1 (Oct 22, 2023)

  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.30 release that can make InDesign shut down when selecting a data source or data destination while InCatalog’s Data Linker is showing.
  • Fixes text-selection link markers to draw properly when a data link has been applied to a character that’s participating in a ligature.
  • Changes whole-cell data link markers to draw as cell-size brackets just inside the cell’s boundary. Note that markers may not be shown if a cell’s entire content is overset.
  • Changes whole-frame data link markers to draw as frame-size brackets just inside the frame’s path instead of outside the frame.

New in InCatalog 2.30.0 (Oct 11, 2023)

  • Adds support for InDesign 2024.
  • Discontinues support for InDesign 2021. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely. Download links for final-version installers for older versions of InDesign that we no longer support can be found in the sidebar of InCatalog’s Release History page.
  • Fixes a long-standing problem where no error is given when a key from link field is selected and the Key edit area is empty.
  • Fixes a number of issues with the Data Linker that could cause it to become confused (like when changing Field, Key Type, or Price Style).
  • Fixes a problem where the Data Linker might not notice when undo is used to restore a data link.
  • Fixes a problem where the Data Linker isn’t updating the Key edit area as the content of a key from content data link changes.

New in InCatalog 2.29.3 (Jun 29, 2023)

  • Fixes Clear All Links > in Selection to work properly with any selection including text, table cells, grouped items, and multiple items. All text links that are fully or partially within a text or item selection are removed. For text frames, only links in table cells and inlined items that are within the selected frame are removed.
  • Addresses a compatibility problem on macOS Ventura 13.3 (and later) that could cause ODBC connections to fail with a [iODBC][Driver Manager]Driver's SQLAllocEnv() failed message. (macOS only)
  • Fixes a problem that could shut down InDesign when working with a URL that’s missing a path component (like http://emsoftware.com).

New in InCatalog 2.29.1 (Dec 20, 2022)

  • Works around a problem in Adobe’s InDesign 2023 18.1 Windows release that can cause InDesign to quit unexpectedly during startup with an “Entry Point Not Found” error when loading a plug-in made for the initial InDesign 2023 18.0 release that includes a “Save File”-type dialog (like InCatalog’s Create Data File dialog). (Windows-only)

New in InCatalog 2.29 (Oct 28, 2022)

  • Adds support for InDesign 2023.
  • Moves all product licensing to subscriptions. For licensing information, please see InDesign 2023 plugins released.
  • Discontinues support for InDesign 2020. While we’ll no longer fix problems in or add features to discontinued versions, we will otherwise provide normal support indefinitely. Download links for final-version installers for older versions of InDesign that we no longer support can be found in the sidebar of InCatalog’s Release History page.

New in InCatalog 2.20 (Oct 24, 2017)

  • This release adds support for just-released InDesign CC 2018.
  • Changes:
  • Adds support for InDesign CC 2018. The CC 2018 plug-in requires a valid InCatalog CC 2018-level license. For licenses purchased within the past 9 months (since January 1, 2017, to keep it simple), we’ll be sending automatic upgrade emails as part of Em’s “major upgrade protection” policy. If your license is older than that, please contact our sales department to purchase an upgrade license.
  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.19 release that could prevent a file on the startup volume from being found if specified with a full, /Volumes//…-style path. (macOS only)

New in InCatalog 2.19.1 (Mar 1, 2017)

  • This quick release fixes a unintended expiration problem with the previous release:
  • Fixes an issue that caused the previous version to suddenly expire on March 1, 2017. (InDesign CC 2017 only)

New in InCatalog 2.19.0 (Nov 10, 2016)

  • This release adds support for just-released InDesign CC 2017 and enhances the look of the Data Linker:
  • Adds support for InDesign CC 2017. The CC 2017 plug-in requires a valid InCatalog CC 2017-level license. For licenses purchased within the past 9 months (since February 1, 2016), we’ll be sending automatic upgrade emails as part of Em’s “major upgrade protection” policy. If your license is older than that, please contact our sales department to purchase an upgrade license.
  • Increases the size of the Data Linker panel to better match the CC 2015.4 release‘s “Cleaner and bigger UI.” (CC 2015 and later, only)

New in InCatalog 2.18.0 (Jul 20, 2016)

  • This release adds support for FileMaker Pro 15 and fixes a problem with key from group links in tables.
  • Changes:
  • Adds support for FileMaker Pro 15.
  • Improves the plug-in’s file-picker dialogs by defaulting to the document’s current folder, on first use, and then remembering which folder was used last with that document (until the application is quit or restarted).
  • Fixes a problem where dismissing the Create Data Snapshot dialog could cause the application to quit. (InDesign CC and later, on macOS 10.10 and later only)
  • Fixes a problem where a key from group link on or in a frame anchored within a table cell would fail to find its direct key if that key was in another cell of the same table.

New in InCatalog 2.17.2 (May 6, 2016)

  • Fixes an odbc update problem introduced in the 2.16.2 release that would cut off long fields at 1024 characters.

New in InCatalog 2.17.1 (Feb 22, 2016)

  • Does away with the requirement that the selected DD’s set (as determined by the DD’s containing folder’s name) always be the same as the DD set used to create the document. This change in InCatalog’s long-standing policy removes the need to hold down the Alt/Option key when selecting a DD file that’s in a different folder. (In effect, the Alt/Option key is now always held down automatically.)
  • Remembers the last data export’s file extension in the Create Data Snapshot dialog.
  • Greatly improves the speed of table updates.
  • Enables interactive updating for multiple frame selections with the Data Linker‘s Group button.
  • Enables interactive updating for single and multiple cell selections with the Data Linker‘s Table Cell button.
  • Fixes a corruption issue introduced in the 2.16.1 release that could cause updates from data snapshot files to fail with missing keys. If you start receiving inexplicable missing key errors, please close the data file and delete its associated .x file (found in the data file’s folder). When next used, the data file should no longer produce missing key errors.
  • Fixes key generation of key-from-contents links from Unicode text. Unicode control characters (like Word Joiner) are now ignored and Unicode whitespace characters (like 3-per-Em, Thin, and Hair Space) are now converted to a (single, regular) space.
  • Fixes the ^F price style placeholder so that it no longer suppresses leading zeros after a decimal point (. or ^.) or after a use of the price’s whole part (^W).
  • Fixes styled price updating, which was broken by the 2.16 release.
  • Fixes a problem where placing InDesign Tagged Text with InCatalog links could cause InDesign to shut down. (Mac OS X only)
  • Fixes a Data Linker problem where the key and edit fields or the whole update section could become permanently disabled.
  • Fixes interactive spread updating to include text boxes that are linked to boxes on previous spreads.

New in InCatalog 2.17 (Jan 29, 2016)

  • Does away with the requirement that the selected DD’s set (as determined by the DD’s containing folder’s name) always be the same as the DD set used to create the document. This change in InCatalog’s long-standing policy removes the need to hold down the Alt/Option key when selecting a DD file that’s in a different folder. (In effect, the Alt/Option key is now always held down automatically.)
  • Remembers the last data export’s file extension in the Create Data Snapshot dialog.
  • Greatly improves the speed of table updates.
  • Enables interactive updating for multiple frame selections with the Data Linker‘s Group button.
  • Enables interactive updating for single and multiple cell selections with the Data Linker‘s Table Cell button.
  • Fixes a corruption issue introduced in the 2.16.1 release that could cause updates from data snapshot files to fail with missing keys. If you start receiving inexplicable missing key errors, please close the data file and delete its associated .x file (found in the data file’s folder). When next used, the data file should no longer produce missing key errors.
  • Fixes key generation of key-from-contents links from Unicode text. Unicode control characters (like Word Joiner) are now ignored and Unicode whitespace characters (like 3-per-Em, Thin, and Hair Space) are now converted to a (single, regular) space.
  • Fixes the ^F price style placeholder so that it no longer suppresses leading zeros after a decimal point (. or ^.) or after a use of the price’s whole part (^W).
  • Fixes styled price updating, which was broken by the 2.16 release.
  • Fixes a problem where placing InDesign Tagged Text with InCatalog links could cause InDesign to shut down. (Mac OS X only)
  • Fixes a Data Linker problem where the key and edit fields or the whole update section could become permanently disabled.
  • Fixes interactive spread updating to include text boxes that are linked to boxes on previous spreads.

New in InCatalog 2.16.2 (Dec 17, 2015)

  • Fixes a compatibility issue that could cause the odbc driver to shut the application down. (Mac OS only)
  • Fixes problems introduced in the 2.16.1 release that could cause odbc updates to fail, truncate fields, or shut the application down.
  • Fixes a batch folder problem introduced in the 2.14.1 release that was causing .xbc files to be ignored.
  • Fixes a problem where using keys longer than 62 characters could cause snapshot updating to fail.

New in InCatalog 2.16.1 (Oct 21, 2015)

  • This release enables data file support under OS X El Capitan and addresses issues when using posix-style paths on Mac OS X:
  • Fixes a problem where Create Data File and Open Data File could fail without reporting a problem. (Mac OS X 10.11 “El Capitan” only)
  • Fixes a problem where posix-style paths like /Users/em/Pictures/Rhubarb.jpg weren’t being handled properly, resulting in missing files. (Mac OS X only)
  • Fixes a problem where filenames with an embedded colon (displayed as a forward slash in Finder) were not being handled properly. (Mac OS X only)
  • Improves path handling so that a path like Pictures/apple:red.jpg is now treated as a posix path rather than an hfs path. A path like :Pictures:apple/red.jpg is still seen as hfs. (Mac OS X only)
  • Improves support for Windows unc paths like \\[servername]\[sharename]\..., where the sharename becomes the OS X volume reference. (Mac OS X only)

New in InCatalog 2.15 (Jun 25, 2015)

  • Adds support for InDesign CC 2015. The CC 2015 plug-in requires a valid InCatalog CC 2015-level license. Please contact our sales department to purchase an upgrade license from a pre-CC 2015 plug-in or to see if you qualify for a free upgrade.
  • Abandons Adobe’s Extension Manager CC application as the preferred means of installing CC plug-ins. Because Adobe has deprecated Extension Manager, and, more importantly, because the latest Extension Manager update appears to break installation with zxp files altogether (not that it was ever all that reliable), we have decided to move away from Extension Manager and zxp-based installs.

New in InCatalog 2.14.1 (Jun 12, 2015)

  • Adds support for new 10.6-style Finder bookmarks (aliases).
  • Adds full support for the auto-detection of HFS and POSIX paths.

New in InCatalog 2.14 (Jan 3, 2015)

  • Changes:
  • Adds support for updating links of a frame or group that has been “pasted into” the selected frame when updating that frame.
  • Corrects a limitation of the Select Data Descriptor and Get Data Snapshot dialogs so that All Files can now be shown as selectable.

New in InCatalog 2.13.3 (Nov 10, 2014)

  • Fixes a price styling problem introduced in version 2.12 that was causing updates of international (non-U.S.) prices to be formatted incorrectly.

New in InCatalog 2.13.1 (Jul 21, 2014)

  • Adds compatibility with InDesign CC 2014 and a few fixes.

New in InCatalog 2.13.0 (Jul 15, 2014)

  • Changes:
  • Adds support for InDesign CC 2014. The CC 2014 plug-in is a free update from CC that requires a valid InCatalog CC-level or CC 2014-level (version 9 or 10) license. Please contact our sales department to purchase an upgrade license from a pre-CC plug-in or to see if you qualify for a free upgrade.
  • Adds handy links to the InCatalog menu for internet-based product support.
  • Fixes a problem with the “selected group” parameter of scripted updates where the selection of a group in the document would be ignored.

New in InCatalog 2.12.3 (Apr 29, 2014)

  • Addresses a couple of problems found when working with tags using indirect keys.
  • Changes:
  • Adds a tagger palette warning for when a link’s indirect key can’t be found, which indicates that there’s no link with a direct key (key from link or key from content) within reach of the link with the indirect key (key from group or key from text) and that the indirect link will fall back to using its own key (key from link).
  • Fixes a problem where the key field of an indirect-style link (key from group, key from text) was being cleared when exported to an InCopy, snippet, or IDML file.

New in InCatalog 2.12.2 (Mar 12, 2014)

  • Fixes a problem introduced in 2.12 where using a dialog shown by InCatalog > Create Data…, InCatalog > Update Data…, InCatalog > Create Data File…, or InCatalog > Open Data File… could cause InDesign to shut down in OS X 10.6 and 10.7. (Mac only)

New in InCatalog 2.12.1 (Feb 22, 2014)

  • Changes:
  • Fixes direct connections to FileMaker Pro 13. (Mac only)
  • Fixes a problem introduced in 2.12 where a text file with no extension could not be selected as a DD or data snapshot. (Mac only)

New in InCatalog 2.12 (Feb 17, 2014)

  • Changes:
  • Adds support for InDesign CC. The CC plug-in requires a valid InCatalog CC-level license.
  • Fixes a problem where pictures that used to update from FileMaker Pro container fields started producing “error -1700″ (coercion failure) with the InCatalog 6/7.2.7 release.

New in InCatalog 2.11 (Aug 13, 2013)

  • Adds key from text ^, which searches a table’s column upwards for a key, starting with the link’s cell, and then, if no direct key is found in the column, searches the table’s host story as would key from text Paste without Formatting (Shift-Cmd-V), which behaves as if the pasted text was freshly typed by the user.
  • Like before, text pasted inside an existing link always becomes a part of that link regardless of how the text is pasted.
  • Improves compatibility with CS6′s Primary Text Frame feature.
  • Adds .mer as as snapshot file type for FileMaker Pro 12 compatibility.

New in InCatalog 2.10 (Dec 7, 2012)

  • Updates are now allowed on tags applied only to the insertion point.
  • Selecting “(No Link)” in the Tagger palette now clears the tag from the insertion point.
  • During an import, the encoding will switch automatically to the OS’s 8-bit encoding if UTF-8 doesn’t look right.
  • Add better error messages for ODBC decoding errors.
  • Add a “missing key” warning to the Tagger palette for tags with missing indirect keys.
  • Fix a problem introduced in version 2.9.6 where neighboring tags were being applied to pasted tables and to text pasted into table cells.
  • Tags applied by keyboard shortcuts no longer lose their field’s DD presets.
  • Fix handling of hidden placeholder character when updating an empty price-styled tag.
  • Fix extraction of empty tags to plain text so that they no longer contain a placeholder character.
  • Fix spurious display of link markers at the end of some stories.
  • An ODBC update with an empty key no longer produces an SQL syntax error.
  • Fix a problem where a failed auto-update with auto-add/change active could cause a crash.

New in InCatalog 6/7/8.2.9.6 (Jul 28, 2012)

  • Fixed direct connections with FileMaker Pro 12. (Mac only)
  • Fixed a problem where text pasted into an existing link would split the link. Text pasted into a link now becomes part of the linked text.

New in InCatalog 6/7/8.2.9.5 (Jun 30, 2012)

  • Added support for InDesign CS6.
  • Improved compatibility with InDesign’s Smart Text Reflow feature.
  • When importing InDesign Tagged Text using the &it tag, a start file tag is now allowed and, if present, indicates the desired encoding of the import. A “narrow” tag like at the beginning of the tagged text now forces the tagged text to be treated as Roman/Latin characters and enables special character tags like. Likewise, a wide tag like forces the tagged text to be treated as Unicode characters.
  • Fixed a problem where a start file tag like in InDesign-tagged text could cause the field update to fail.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.4 (Apr 19, 2012)

  • Fixed a problem introduced in 4/5/6.2.6.5 where an update of an InDesign Tags-tagged field with text beginning with one of the start tags (like or ) would fail with a “malformed in some way” error.
  • Fixed tagged text initialization to look for a flavor-specific initialization file if a (Tags Initialization)file isn’t found in the DD set. For imports using InDesign Tags, a file named (InDesign Tags Initialization) is used if found in the DD set. For imports using XPress Tags (via the DD qualifier

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.3 (Apr 5, 2012)

  • Fixed a problem introduced in 6/7.2.8.1 where updates would only use the first 63 characters of a long key. (Keys may normally contain up to 255 characters.)
  • Fixed a tagger palette problem that could potentially cause a crash during application shutdown.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.2 (Jan 28, 2012)

  • This patch release fixes compatibility issues with InCopy, InDesign libraries, CJK languages and the indent-to-here character.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9.1 (Aug 10, 2011)

  • Catalog links can now be applied to and cleared from the text insertion point, just like native InDesign attributes.
  • Fixed a problem where updating data from an unstyled price could cause a crash.
  • Fixed a problem where selecting deleted text in the story editor could cause a crash.
  • Fixed a scripting issue with accessing the ‘catalog link data’ property.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.9 (Jul 7, 2011)

  • Addressed the CS5.5 (7.5.1) compatibility issue.
  • Added scripted access to the link marker showing and color settings.
  • Fixed a problem where the tagger palette could stop updating after an InData import.
  • Fixed a problem where the details of a fatal scripting error weren’t always being reported.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.4 (Apr 14, 2011)

  • This maintenance release addresses issues with styled prices and ODBC connectivity.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.3 (Feb 26, 2011)

  • Fixed a problem with scripted updates where returning the error log as an error was causing InDesign to auto-undo the whole update. A scripted update now returns the traditional count of linked elements updated/extracted, but only if all linked elements were successfully updated/extracted. If any linked element fails to be updated/extracted, then an error log containing a list of the failed elements is returned as text. In AppleScript, if class of result is integer can be used to detect a successful update.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.2 (Feb 15, 2011)

  • Changed the default character encoding of ODBC connections to UTF-8. Previously, it was MacRoman in Mac OS and WinLatin in Windows. (Pro only)
  • Fixed a problem introduced in the 6/7.2.7 release where the active global key separator character was no longer being displayed in the palette’s key field.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8.1 (Feb 5, 2011)

  • Added support for Unicode characters in the DD’s key, field and price style names.
  • Fixed some subfield problems that were introduced in the 6/7.2.7 release which were preventing the output of multiple-value fields (like page numbers, for example).
  • Fixed a problem introduced in 4/5/6.2.6.6 where a tag not followed by a CR was not being applied to the imported InDesign-tagged text.
  • Fixed a problem where the text cursor was being displayed in the wrong position after an update.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.8 (Jan 20, 2011)

  • Added picture positioning options for sizing the box to its contained image. The tagger palette now sports positioning entries for “Size box to picture” and “Fit picture to box width, then size box to picture height”. Note that all box resizing is performed relative to the box’s upper-left corner.
  • Added the script parameter DD set overridden to give scripted updates the option of temporarily ignoring a document’s associated DD set.
  • Changed our DD validation policy to consider DD names with no file extension equivalent to the same DD filename with a “.txt” or ”.dd” extension. This should improve the compatibility of older documents tagged with an extension-less DD with newer OSes that require filename extensions. For example, a document originally populated with links from a DD named “mydd” could now be updated by a DD named “mydd.txt”.
  • Fixed a problem where nested style names in InDesign-tagged text was being ignored.
  • Fixed a problem introduced in 6/7.2.7.1 where the last spread in a scripted update was always being skipped.
  • Fixed the picture positioning options “Upper left” and “Centered”, which weren’t resetting the picture’s scale to 100%.
  • Fixed tagger enabling issues with empty picture frames and unknown frames.
  • Fixed an obscure tagger problem where both text and picture elements were being displayed at the same time.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7.1 (Jan 8, 2011)

  • Added the ability to include or ignore master pages for document updates using the new InCatalog > Ignore Master Pages menu item. Scripted updates may use the new “master pages ignored” modifier to control the master pages setting for each request. For backwards compatibility, master pages are ignored by default.
  • Improved support for updating text links within type on a path.
  • Fixed problems with the user interface which were disabling the tagger’s update buttons inappropriately in some situations.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7 Beta 4 (Nov 20, 2010)

  • Made the buttons in the data linker palette work.
  • Changed text link markers to display as brackets (like in Xcatalog) rather than as highlighting (which was hard to see in some situations). See InCatalog’s User Interface preferences for new, related settings.
  • Added link markers for tagged page items.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7 Beta 3 (Nov 6, 2010)

  • Makes the data linker palette work.

New in InCatalog 6/7.2.7 Beta 1 (Oct 16, 2010)

  • This first, early beta of InCatalog 6/7.2.7 includes CS5 support and a whole slew of features and fixes, but is still basically unfinished. The tagger palette doesn’t work (pretty critical, we realize), but showing links and updating documents does work, so it can be useful in some workflows.

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.7 (Sep 25, 2010)

  • A visual indicator (a big red question mark) is now added to every picture frame that is updated, but fails to load an image (i.e., when the linked picture can't be found). Information is also added to the affected picture frame such that the Links panel can be used to later find and reload the missing picture.
  • Fixed a problem where changes to data settings (like delimiters and encoding) could cause .x files to become invalid or corrupt. Changes to data settings should now cause the .x file to be automatically regenerated.
  • Fixed a long-standing problem where InDesign's typographer quotes, if left enabled, would interfere with the updating of quotes in plain-text and unquoted tagged text fields. InCatalog now automatically disables InDesign's typographer quotes for updates.
  • Fixed a problem where, in edge cases involving spread updates and multiple linked text frames, only part of a table might be updated.

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.5 (Jan 27, 2010)

  • Fixed a problem where pictures specified as being relative to the document's file weren't being found for "converted" documents (those templates and documents from previous versions of InDesign). [2609, 2610, 2611]
  • Fixed a problem where the presence of an aliased folder in a partial picture path would cause the picture to not be found.
  • For example, a picture specified with the path ":Food Pix:1 Broccoli.jpg" will now import properly even when "Food Pix" is a folder alias rather than an actual folder. (Mac OS X only) [2608]

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.4 (Jan 27, 2010)

  • Worked around a Mac-only problem where some ODBC drivers were overwriting memory, causing the loss of characters in large updates and general instabilities that could lead to crashes.
  • Fixed a problem where fitting large images into small frames could leave the image too large after bumping up against our previous 10% scaling limit. InCatalog now allows the scaling of pictures down to 0.1%.

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.3 (Jul 31, 2009)

  • Fixed a problem where updating an InDesign Tagged link could result in the loss of the text's font style.

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.2 (Jul 31, 2009)

  • Fixed a problem where catalog links could not be removed via scripting. (CS4 only)

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6.1 (Mar 24, 2009)

  • The file paths of tagged pictures are now exported properly in CS4.
  • Text-based links marked as InDesign Tagged no longer disappear when updated with empty data.
  • Fixed a problem with the log dialog which was preventing it from displaying long ODBC error messages.

New in InCatalog 4.5.6.2.6 (Jan 14, 2009)

  • Added support for InDesign CS4, including IDML import & export.
  • Fixed a problem where changing the tagger's hot keys in InCatalog > Preferences > User Interface could often result in an error message.

New in InCatalog 4.5.2.5.2 (Dec 5, 2008)

  • Exposed all data source and data destination sub-menu items in the keyboard shortcut editor.
  • The plug-in's registration information is now properly retained for all users. Previously, Windows XP and Vista users whose accounts had limited privileges were being asked for a serial number each time they started InDesign.

New in InCatalog 4.5.2.5.1 (Jul 4, 2008)

  • Fixed a problem which was preventing the "(No Link)" entry in the palette's field popup from removing an existing link (was resulting in a "You can't use this field..." error).
  • Unicode-encoded data files generated via Create Data... or Create Data File... are once again written as UTF-8. (A problem introduced in the 4-5.2.5 release had them being written as UTF-16.)
  • Exposed InCatalog > Clear All Links > in Selection to InDesign's keyboard shortcuts editor (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts..., Product Area: InCatalog, Commands: in Selection).
  • Fixed a data update problem where links in tables could output an incorrect page number.
  • Fixed a problem where changing keyboard shortcuts in InCatalog > Preferences > User Interface... could cause a crash. (InDesign CS3 only)
  • Fixed a problem where closing and then opening the palette could cause the palette to draw incorrectly. (InDesign CS3 only)
