Notes on updating from Next Design V1.0 to V1.1

Revision History

2020-09-04 : ADDED NOTE ABOUT CHANGING THE SYSTEM COMMAND ID IN THE EXTENSION.

Project file

PROJECT FILES CREATED WITH V1.0 WILL BE CONVERTED TO THE LATEST DATA FORMAT WHEN THE FILE IS OPENED AND CAN CONTINUE TO BE USED. HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

If you overwrite the file, you will not be able to open it in the previous version.
Diagram color change may be necessary.

DUE TO THE REVIEW OF THE QUICKSTYLE COLOR PALETTE, SOME SHAPES AND CONNECTORS MAY BE COLORLESS OR GRAY WHEN OPENING A PROJECT CREATED WITH V1.0 AND VIEWING A DIAGRAM. IF NECESSARY, PLEASE SELECT THE SHAPE OR CONNECTOR AND SPECIFY THE COLOR AGAIN. NOTE THAT CONNECTORS THAT HAVE BECOME COLORLESS CAN STILL BE SELECTED ON THE DIAGRAM.

Extensions

IF A DLL-TYPE EXTENSION DEVELOPED FOR V1.0 IS USED WITH V1.1 WITHOUT MODIFICATION, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WILL BE OUTPUT AND THE EXTENSION WILL NOT BE USABLE.

Failed to activate extension "xxx". (One or more of the requested types could not be loaded. Get the LoaderExceptions property for more information).

IF YOU WISH TO USE V1.0 EXTENSIONS WITH V1.1, PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS

REPLACING THE REFERENCE DLL

SUPPORT FOR API SPECIFICATION CHANGES
Change key name in locale file

EVEN FOR SCRIPT-BASED EXTENSIONS, "3. SUPPORT FOR API SPECIFICATION CHANGES" AND "4. CHANGE OF LOCALE FILE KEY NAMES" ARE NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THE ABOVE, SO PLEASE TAKE THESE ACTIONS.

4. renaming of keys in the locale file

Key names specified in locale files defined for multilingual support have been changed. Key name: "key". resouceStrings indicates object of desire, like, hate, etc. resourceStrings change it to "r". (Corrects omission of "r" in spelling of "resource.")

locale.xx.json files up to V1.0

{
	"locale": "xx",
	"resouceStrings" : {
		･･･
	}
}

{
	"locale": "xx",
	"resourceStrings" : {
		･･･
	}
}

CHANGE ID OF SYSTEM COMMANDS

THE IDS OF THE SYSTEM COMMANDS THAT CAN BE SUBSCRIBED TO IN THE MANIFEST EVENT DEFINITIONS HAVE CHANGED. PLEASE CHANGE THE ID AS FOLLOWS

(computer) command	BEFORE CHANGE ID	AFTER CHANGE ID
delete command	Delete	Home.Delete
clip command	Cut	Home.Cut
copy command	Copy	Home.Copy

That is all.
