Shinydrive 2.5.2 (February 2023)
Fixed Issues
Content Sources - Authentication Option needs re-working (Server)
Description
Previously, when adding a new content source, users were prompted to Add anyways. This prompt and the option to set OTDS has been removed from Content Source. Authentication using OTDS is now set in the driver, not the Content Sources. The user interface has also been cleaned up so that Documentum connectors show the repo name instead of just USER_NAME_PASSWORD.
Content Sources - Duplicates of the Data Collection Spec and Search Language fields appeared when the Advanced Settings panel was expanded (Server)
Description
Previously, when selecting the Advanced Settings link a second instance of the Data Collection Spec field and the Search Language field appeared. This behaviour has been fixed so there is no duplication of these fields when the Advanced Settings panel is expanded.
Enterprise Search - Documentum: File size and creation date not showing (Web Client and Server)
Description

Documentum: Unable to add documents with a capitalized extension (Web Client)
An incomplete Save loop occurred when an attempt was made to copy a file with a capitalized extension from Windows Desktop to a Drive connected to Documentum. Files were not successfully saved in the Drive and an error would appear in the Shinydrive log. Now files with capitalized extensions are saved successfully in Drives connected Documentum.
SAML Authentication Flow - OTDS Authentication Screen not appearing (Web Client)
Description
The primary authentication mechanism for Content Server is via SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) with OTDS (OpenText Directory Services). Previously, the Shinydrive Client was not displaying the Authentication Flow screen upon startup, even with the Admin Advanced Settings properly filled in. This issue has been resolved and the Authentication Flow screen now properly displays upon startup.

Description
When navigating to a long file path name, users are unable to add items/navigate. When attempted, the following exception is logged: Could not find a part of the path
When navigating to a long file path name with the import to records management option, the window will not let users navigate to the full file path. If furthest item is selected and you attempt to add an item, the View Import window will freeze in a queue. This is a Windows issue that Shinydocs is currently unable to support.
Custom Regex - Saving then opening again clears saved regex (Server)
Description
When a custom regex is added and saved, all the data is saved. When you switch back to the extension list, the regex items are displayed. However, when you save and open the drive again, the area is blank, but the data is still stored in the custom regex when you switch back. If a bad regex is entered, it will clear out the list and may break the allowed list when it tries to parse it.
