SmartDFE v4.6 Release Notes
New Features and Bug Fixes
| Jira Story | Description |
| SDFE-1233 | When printing, the only separations produced will be for the inks that both appear in the active media and are enabled on the server. |
| SDFE-1629 | Added an option to enable Intelligent Thumbnailing, which will cause all job thumbnails to generate from the middle of the job rather than the first page. |
| SDFE-1656 | The Duplicate job dialog now has a cancel button. |
| SDFE-1696 | English (U.K.) added as a language choice to Smart Print Controller. SPC's selected language and length units dictate the language and length units shown in Job Editor. |

| SDFE-1845 | Jobs can now be renamed through the job details dialog or through OPC. |

| SDFE-2027 | SDFESUP-503: Deleting all jobs from the Completed Queue will now prompt for confirmation. |
| SDFE-2028 | Smart Font Scan added to the list of Engineer pane Settings. This option will alter the methods used to detect non-embedded fonts in jobs. |
| SDFE-2032 |
|
| SDFE-2033 | The Setup pane Print Bars tab has been renamed to RIP Servers to better represent the settings in the tab. The Print Mode settings have been moved from the Setup pane General tab to the RIP Servers tab, and the Print Mode option for RIP Direct is visible when Offline mode is not supported in the printer profile. The Media details were removed from the RIP Servers tab. |
| SDFE-2034 | The Save and Load Settings are no longer accessible outside the Engineer Pane. |
| SDFE-2035 | The color management view previously in the Setup pane has been moved to the Engineer -> Media pane. |

| SDFE-2037 | When deleting a job, a confirmation dialog will be shown. |
| SDFE-2038 | The Engineer pane Status tab has been removed. The Total Printed Sheets counter and Reset button have been moved to the Settings tab, and they are disabled if the Sheet Counter isn't enabled in the active config. |
| SDFE-2039 | Setup -> General tab has been removed, and its contents redistributed. |
| SDFE-2040 | Double-clicking a job in any of the queues will open the job details dialog. Double-clicking on a text box will not open the job details dialog, as you may want to highlight text. The Job details button is visible in the Print Queue. |

| SDFE-2059 | SDFESUP-529: The Active Media can now be set to match a job's Target Media via the job details dialog, or the maximized Waiting Queue. |

| SDFE-2096 | Chinese translations added to Job Cost Estimator; the language of Job Cost Estimator is decided by the machine's system locale at startup. |
| SDFE-2100 | Added a Disabled Ink Mode option to the printer profile that determines whether inks that don't appear in the media are blank or produce no separations. |
| SDFE-2131 | Jobs can be made LILO jobs via .complete submission, which allows viewing and setting the lead in and lead out page counts. |
| SDFE-2133 | Printing LILO jobs will print additional pages based on the set counts for the Lead In page and the Lead Out page. |
| SDFE-2145 | Added a new type of folder, the Pre-Press Folder, to support sending jobs to external applications for further adjustments before printing. |

Known Limitations
In the Job Editor's Custom Color Editor, when you modify a color, the system will generate a new media file. This new file is a duplicate of the original target media, but with the adjusted color values that the user has specified. This ensures that the color's name remains consistent, and the original color values are retained in the original media for any potential reprinting needs.
