Kollaborate Server 1.0.4 released with redesigned installer

We've just released Kollaborate Server 1.0.4, a major update to our in-house cloud workflow solution.

Redesigned Installer

We've completely redesigned the installer to guide users step-by-step through the installation process. The installer will detect problems and try to automatically fix them, but if it can't you are provided with detailed instructions specific to your operating system, architecture and web root location.

The rest of the changes were discussed last week in the cloud release but here's a rundown.

Import comments

Comments can now be imported from Final Cut Pro or Avid marker lists. To do this, click the Actions button on the player page, then click Import Comments. Select the type of marker list (FCP or Avid), then browse for the file and click Upload. The markers will be imported into the file at their existing timecode positions and you will be marked as the author of the comments.

View all Shares

You can now see every link you have shared on a project-wide basis without having to visit the Share page for every file individually. To do this click Share from the Actions dropdown on the player page or the arrow to the right of a file on the Files page. Then click All Links for this Project at the right-hand side. If you are an admin you can view links created by everyone in the project.

Admins can view all tasks

Admins can now view and modify tasks they do not own. Tasks by other users will now appear in the Tasks for Others or Completed Tasks sections.

Other changes

• The Add User dialog on the Team page now shows user presets for all projects you own, not just the current one
• Link users are now asked for their name only when they leave a comment
• Your own views of a link you created no longer count towards the view count
• Comments can be disabled on a per-file basis from the Edit Metadata page
