MP Studio, MP Author Pro and MP Author: Version 10.2
We are pleased to announce the General Availability of MP Studio, MP Author Pro and MP Author version 10.2. We’ve made lots of updates and improvements to the products. Here’s a summary of the changes:
MP Studio
- Allow only up to 2 errors when enumerating child domains before stopping. Limit can be changed via an environment variable.

- Allow Move/Copy Overrides to work with Secure Reference overrides.
- Allow Delete Multiple versions for Sealed MPs. Error message tells why some versions can’t be deleted.
- Change how we handle referenced MPs to ensure that MPs from the correct folder are taken before falling back to the distribution folder and ensure that if a later MPB/MP is written the earlier MP/MPB is deleted.
- Allow Workflow Report to run correctly even if the UNIX/Linux MP is not installed.
- SNMP devices can be deleted from the Saved Network Device list by selecting and pressing Del.
- When a grid is filtered, ensure that any selected rows that are no longer visible are de-selected to avoid confusion.

- Allow tooltips in the Store and Admin trees to be shown or not shown. See Tools, Options, General.
- Create temporary files in a separate folder for background tasks and clean up when done.
