Known Issues in 2.02.35

Known Enhancement and Effects Issues

• When adding the SHARPEN effect the radius and amount appear to default to 0. If these numbers are not actually touched and changed, the effect will create a broken image when applied. Adjust the numbers and save to avoid this issue.

• When adding the GAMMA_CORRECTION effect the gamma amount appears to default to 0. If this number is not actually touched and changed, the effect will create a broken image when the enhancement is applied. Adjust this number and save to avoid this issue.

Known Layout Issues

• Text tiles added to layouts appear in the viewer but don’t always print

Known Internet Explorer 11 Issues

• Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) End of Support from Apteryx in 2020
  We are finding IE11 to be a big liability for continued support. Microsoft has released new and robust versions of Edge, a browser build like Chrome, that can handle XVWeb very well. Edge works on Windows 7, 8, and 10. We constantly test against Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but we only check that very basic features (such as searching, displaying 2D images, and exporting) work in IE11. We strongly recommend all customers to stop using IE11 for XVWeb, and move to a modern, supported browser.

  • Does not launch external capture software
  • CT/3D viewer does not consistently open
