TS6.5: proposed name for new edition is gone?

RonaldV

I noticed that TS6.5 does not give you a proposal for the edition when publising.

Is this the new (disappointing) standard?

Thanks, Ronald

I think it shows you the name of the previous edition above the box, but does not pre-populate the text field with the "next" name like it did in previous versions.
My guess is that some folks didn't like having the text field pre-populated and IWOV changed things to make them happy rather than providing an option to make them happy - either that or they just didn't notice they had made such a significant change.

You can run the CLT iwnexted to see what the programmatically generated name would be, or you can run the CLT iwpublish with the '-g' option to get it to generate and use the "next" edition name for you - but yes, the UI changed (actually, I think this happened before 6.5 as I seem to recall mentioning it a while ago - perhaps with 6.0).

If it bothers you - then contact support and ask for a feature request to re-instate that functionality within the UI (I do find it somewhat silly that one has to request a feature to make things behave the way they used to, but I'm sure they'll claim that it isn't a "bug" so it must be a "feature request")
