NetPublish includes built-in image search, preview and download capabilities. The NetPublish client application also provides Portfolio 7's Create Webpages feature. Please review the "Portfolio 7 NetPublish Read Me" file for more information about the Create Webpages feature in Portfolio 7, the NetPublish Assistant, and the NetPublish Server. (F) COMPATIBILITY AND TECHNICAL NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 6 catalogs can be used with Portfolio 7, after they have been converted. To convert, simply open the catalog in version 7. We recommend you create a backup of your catalog before converting it. Version 6 Saved Views and HTML templates are not supported in version 7. The Saved Views feature has been expanded to offer additional layout and display controls. Static and dynamic webpage generation is now handled by a new Extensis product, NetPublish, which has a new template system that offers greatly expanded functionality for making webpages and websites. Catalogs created in version 6 with a block size set to 1K in the Preferences cannot be converted to version 7 before their block size is converted. Please see the Extensis Technical Support Knowledge Base for information on this topic. Zip or JPEG compressed TIF files are not supported in this version of Portfolio. They do not thumbnail, and they are not supported in the Batch Convert Images feature. TIFFs with spot channels do not convert properly in the Batch Convert Images feature. Microsoft PowerPoint is required to be installed to generate thumbnails for PowerPoint files. When Portfolio is uninstalled it may leave an empty folder behind. If Portfolio is installed with the default folder locations, you will find this folder in :\Program Files\Extensis\Portfolio 7\Uninstall. You can delete this folder manually if desired. If you experience problems importing text files into portfolio, either import fails or is incomplete, save your text file in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format with your text editor and then import again. You may experience this while importing text files that have a mixture of low and high ASCII characters. If you are experiencing problems extracting metadata containing non-roman characters, change your extract metadata mappings so that you extract XMP data only (if it exists) as the XMP standard is fully Unicode compatible. Portfolio relies on QuickTime to preview certain file types. QuickTime has certain limitations when the filename and/or path to the file include Japanese or high ASCII characters. This limitation will cause portfolio to fail to produce thumbnails and/or previews for these cataloged files. If you experience this issue, you should use all lower ASCII characters in your filename and path. Portfolio is unable to open PixelSafe (.PFZ) files with Japanese user names if they are created in Windows or Macintosh SmartScale. English passwords will work correctly between the products. Portfolio 7.0.4 client will not connect to pre-7.0.4 Portfolio Server. If you are using Portfolio in a client/server environment you must upgrade the Server to 7.0.4 first, and then upgrade the clients. ------- © 2004 Extensis, Inc., a Celartem company.
