Release: InFlow 3/4.1.2.4 for InDesign CS/CS2

December 6, 2007 by cpr

These are the release notes for the InFlow 3/4 series.

Fixed a problem in InFlow 3 which was causing InDesign to crash during startup if no other Em product was installed and serialized (when not running in demo mode).
The master page text frames created by checking the New Document dialog’s Master Text Frame option are now created with a content lock. (Keeping them empty prevents InFlow from getting confused in certain situations.)

Fixed a problem where auto-flow stories on manually inserted document pages were being locked.
Fixed a problem where the auto-flow property was being lost. Duplicating master spreads, duplicating document spreads and creating masters based on another master now properly preserve any extant auto-flow items.
Fixed a problem where duplicating a document spread could result in multiple auto-flow threads on the new spread.
Manually linking a text frame to the beginning of an existing auto-flow story no longer causes the story to lose its auto-flow property.

Fixed a problem that was preventing InFlow from replacing an existing auto-flow story’s frames with the new master’s auto-flow story’s frames during a master page application. Instead, the existing frames were being orphaned and left on the page along with the new master’s auto-flow frames. Now extant auto-flow frames are correctly replaced by the new master’s auto-flow frames.
Note that you may need to “reset” pages created with previous versions of InFlow. To do this, first apply master [None] to your template’s (or starting document’s) first page, delete all frames left on that page and then re-apply the original master.

Added support for InDesign CS 2 (4.x release).
Added support for autoflow frames in groups.
Fixed a problem where pages weren’t always being added when the overset condition was caused by a forced break (column, frame, page, etc.).
Fixed a problem where a text frame’s story lock icon wasn’t going away when the text frame was removed from the autoflow thread.
Fixed an incompatibility which was causing Xtags to place unanchored boxes incorrectly.
