What's New in FlexApp in ProfileUnity?
Version 6.8.5
Predictive Block Caching—This feature is a record of blocks that were read when the application was opened on the FlexApp Packaging Console. When using this feature after playback, the specific blocks in the list are downloaded right away, which gives the user a better experience because the blocks are downloaded likely before the user opens the application. The application will then load at native speeds without waiting for blocks.
FlexApp Cloaking—This feature allows FlexApps to be hidden on boot. Then, when the user logs in, the applications are unhidden based on filter assignments. This can enhance the user experience by eliminating FlexApp playback time completely.
FlexApp AppData Local and Roaming Handling—Anything written to the AppData folders is now captured as part of the layer. On playback, AppData files are physically written to the user's profile if they do NOT exist. This feature also works when you are playing back applications on boot. FlexApp tracks the sessions and writes them into the profile.
MSIX Mass Convert to FlexApp—You can mass convert MSIXs into FlexApp packages for better flexibility.
App-V Mass Convert to FlexApp—You can mass convert App-V into FlexApp packages for better flexibility.
FlexApp One Support—The FlexApp One bundling process is automatic when checking the FlexApp One option.
High Compatibility Mode Capture—This process is NOT inline to the capture. The application is allowed to write directly to the file system. FlexApp takes an inventory of files on the system before capture, then after capture. It does NOT have to scan the file system for changes because it uses a filesystem technique using the file system journal. This feature can help with installation issues during capture, but can be slower.
Offline Packaging Mode—Allows storage of package data in a custom location instead of requiring a connection to the ProfileUnity Management Console when logging into the FlexApp Packaging Console. This is useful when packaging and creating FlexApp One applications that will not be delivered using the ProfileUnity Management Console.
