What is new:
- Further improvements of changes in older Excel formats. We recommend this upgrade in case that you have older Excel file formats.
- Improved VBA processing in Visio documents.
In case that you have older Excel formats we strongly recommend this upgrade.
New in version 4.7.1:
- Additional extensions added in default set of extensions => aspx, js, css. Of course, it is still possible to add custom extension
- Moved selection of changes in SharePoint pages (Wiki/Canvas) to separate tab in Search&Replace form. All later SharePoint specific developments will be in this tab
- Extended support (search&replace) for Link Sources in PowerPoint documents (for example, if you have Excel chart imported in PowerPoint presentation)
Remark: In case that Automatic Update in PowerPoint document is not set and new link for external chart does not exist or is not accessible ReplaceMagic will make a change but chart in PowerPoint document will still be the old one. To manually update chart (pull data from new location) will need to right-click on chart and in context menu select option "Edit Data" which will open source Excel file. After Excel is opened chart in PowerPoint document will be automatically updated
Second option is to click in PowerPoint on File => "Edit Links to Files" and there to select "Automatic Update"
- Adjusted export to Excel functionality to split results in multiple worksheets if number of rows is bigger than 1.000.000 (to avoid Excel limitations). There are some cosmetic issues (header row color not always the same, to be fixed later)
-
Fix bug when excluding "Table of Content" links in Word documents
-
Extended hyperlinks display in Word documents to include also parameters
-
Included that fixing of broken hyperlinks in Word document covers also hyperlink parameters
-
Added in installation information that .NET 4.5.2 is required
-
Changed installer type and publish setup as EXE and not MSI
-
(Expert option) - Added converter of not supported VSD,VSS and VST Visio file formats to newer VSDX, VSSX and VSTX. Until this version ReplaceMagic was not able to read and save older Visio file formats (VSD/VSS/VST). From version 4.7.1 you will have option to instruct ReplaceMagic to convert older in newer formats. To set this feature go to Configuration => Processing and select option "Convert Visio (VSD/VSS/VST) docs in VSDX/VSSX/VSTX format?"
Disclaimer: We will always keep original Visio file format (VSD/VSS/VST) and create new file in newer Visio format. In case of network drives if you specify that ReplaceMagic should create backup beside original and new file you will also have backup file.
In case of SharePoint only old and new file will exist
-
Added support for Visio VSX and VTX file format
-
Added "Proxy Configuration" to "Add SharePoint Site" form where you can provide proxy details (proxy URL, port, username and password). Only HTTP proxies are working (HTTPS does not work for now)
-
Added option to delete list of saved Search&Replace strings in Search&Replace form
-
Changed that double click on form used to select SharePoint location is always opening only one level below. Before complete clicked node structure was opened at once which was challenging in case that there were plenty of items in opened locations
-
Added option to delete saved SharePoint connections from Connection History drop-down
-
During SharePoint changes ReplaceMagic was setting after check-in/check-out, publishing, approval comment text. Now comments by ReplaceMagic can be removed or you can set your own text
-
All documents stored on SharePoint have unique ID. Normally document IDs are created in sequential way but if some documents are deleted you might have gaps between document IDs. Due to checking numbers in steps of 5000 (previously used in ReplaceMagic) might happen that some documents were not found. To address this case we provided new functionality to find highest document ID in DocLib and to loop until this number is not reached eliminating possibility that some files are missed. As this requires that we loop until maximum number of items in document library (30.000.000 documents) to avoid unnecessary loops you can set expected maximum document library size (default value: 150.000 documents in DocLib)
Just as a reference - scan in our test site with this parameter set to 500.000 took around 90-100 seconds (with Ultra fast scan option) and with parameter set to 30.000.000 it took around 180 seconds. In total there were only 200 documents in this site
-
Added SharePoint DefaultCredentials logon option (BETA)
-
Improved logic to check relative links in SharePoint documents and pages
- Added button to start short video with explanation how to use ReplaceMagic
