Changes in WebAsyst Windows Client

If you were using WebAsyst Windows Client to access WebAsyst applications, you probably realized that Document Depot was the only WebAsyst application with native Windows user interface (UI). All other applications utilized built-in pseudo windows UI, i.e. their interface was actually implemented as HTML-page that appeared in the Internet Explorer built in a window of the Windows Client.

Document Depot UI was designed as a native windows application. The sample below shows the way it appeared in your screen:

In the new WebAsyst Windows Client version we’ve redesigned Document Depot UI to make it look like interface of other WebAsyst applications, i.e. it is executed now in a built-in Internet Explorer:

While it’s going to miss out on convenient drag-and-drop feature, the advantages are justified. Any new upgrade in functionality of browser interface required additional Document Depot coding, while some of it was very costly to implement. As a result, Document Depot UI functionality was lacking some important features that were implemented in the browser-based version.

As for drag-and-drop feature, we are currently working on designing a mechanism for the browser client - this would let you drag and drop files from you local computer in to WebAsyst browser-based window.
