Release Notes September 2025

Selected features / optimizations / innovations / corrections / bug fixes

New

Backstage > Administration > Media Attributes > Watermarks: For image media, an alternative watermark file applied to downloaded media can be selected for each media size. (Note: This new option, like other dynamic image watermark options, is not applicable to video media due to technical limitations.)

Optimized

Backstage > Tabular Overviews: Selection is now always preserved when changing the sort order of the records. Before, when just the first element in the grid was selected, the selection was applied to the new first element after changing the sort order. This led to an internal inconsistency, which again could lead to unexpected behaviour in some areas (like Web > Articles). Preserving the selection fixes this issue.
Webshop > HTTPS via Let's Encrypt: Updated Intermediate Certificates in the Chain of Trust.
Various minor stability and performance improvements.

Fixed

Backstage > Improved horizontal scrolling in exceptionally wide modules so all contents can be accessed.
Backstage > Tabular Overviews: Fixed unexpected closing of quicksearch and filter overlays.
Backstage > Selection grids (tabular views with Add/Remove buttons): Fixed empty state handling when only one of the related grids has no records.
Backstage > Media Processing > Media Overviews: Fixed an intermittent issue where media were shown below each other instead of next to each other.
Backstage > Media Processing > Restrictions > Metadata Restrictions: Metadata restrictions are now available to all agencies without consulting picturemaxx first. (Note: This feature has been activated by default in most instances.)
Backstage > Document Management: Fixed display of folder tree icons and context menu.
Backstage > Sales > picturemaxx Media Network > my Locations: Increased size of some input elements which became too small in the recent GUI update.
Backstage > Finance > Financial Documents: Fixed incorrect reactivating read-only menu entries after viewing position information in posted documents. (Note: Although visibly reactivated, all menu elements were unresponsive in posted documents.)
SmartFrame Synchronization: Initial publish of media to Backstage archive now triggers an update to the SmartFrame Cloud to transfer Backstage metadata.

Optimized

Fixed

Backstage > Finance: Fixed a workflow process where Line Items could be duplicated in an already posted Financial Document.
Web > SEO: Fixed issue in XML sitemaps for media based on classifications without metadata field mapping.

Optimized

Fixed

Backstage > Sales > Customers & Partners > Outputs: Changing the transmission type now works here as reliable as in Media > Distributions > Outputs.
