Cell position and highlighting is now cleared if you overwrite a cell using the Backspace key or by typing over the value.

f you select a cell to the right of an invisible column and then click on another element such as the Project Tree, typing now redirects to the originally selected cell.

Next Invalid Cell navigation now works correctly when a table includes hidden columns.

It is now possible to force a cell valid, even when a table includes hidden columns.

Display fields are now visible for all documents.

1805429: Option to hide verbose error message information

When invalid parameters are passed as part of an input object, a verbose error message is no longer part of the response.

Instead, a customized response object is returned with error code ‘652’ and ‘Invalid input parameters’ as the message.

1803159: Deleting all documents in a batch prevents closing batch successfully

Deleting all documents in a batch no longer causes issues closing a batch. The documents are successfully deleted, and the batch closes as expected.

When an error occurs due to a full buffer you are redirected to the log off page so that you can log on again.

If this occurs often, please contact your Administrator and ask them to increase the buffer size on the web server from 250000 to 1000000 (10mb) in the web.config as follows:

<binding name="Kofax.KTS.Backend.Capture.BindingConfiguration" maxReceivedMessageSize="10000000" maxBufferSize="10000000" sendTimeout="00:05:00" receiveTimeout="00:05:00">

<setting name="SaveThumbnails" serializeAs="String">

Instructions are below.

Follow the instructions presented to you and when you are notified that the installation process is complete, click Finish.

If not already present, add an entry to the Web.config file to manage session handling.

In the web.config locate the <sessionState> node and add the following:

For Kofax Transformation Modules fix packs, it is possible to extract the MSP from the executable as follows.

KofaxTransformationModules-ThinClientServer-7.0.0.6.exe /T: /C

Where /T specifies the temporary working folder and /C extracts the files. These two parameters must be used together if you want to extract the MSP file from the executable.

In addition to these parameters, you can also use /Q for quiet mode.

Start the Command Prompt.

Use the cd command to switch to the folder containing .msp file.

Run the following command:

msiexec /update KofaxTransformationModules-ThinClientServer-7.0.0.6.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus PATCHINSTALL=1

To enable logging, add the /L switch to the end of the command. The following command generates verbose logging to C:\KofaxTransformationModules-ThinClientServer-7.0.0.6.log:

/L*v C:\KofaxTransformationModules-ThinClientServer-7.0.0.6.log

If not already present, add an entry to the web.config file to manage session handling.
