# New features and improvements

# Image editing keyboard shortcuts

You can now use keyboard shortcuts when editing an image in your 4ALLPORTAL, and e.g. crop, mirror or save an image quickly without using your mouse. Look for the default assignments in your User Profile, tab Shortcuts. You can also customize your shortcuts here by clicking an entry.

# File transfer logging (admin)

We improved our logging and error monitoring and implemented new admin snap-in group Protocol overview (see also CoreEngine's Release Note 3.10). Snap-in File transfer gives an overview of all up- and downloads with status and possible errors (more details (opens new window)).

  • modules/MODULE/setup.4apmsetup

as well as according custom files are automatically split to new files. For details, please refer the Core Engine Release Notes 3.10.
