Symptoms
When an External File Mark was created in ArtPro+/Automation Engine 25.03 or earlier and the URL contained a server variable from category Job/Product/Product Part Parameters, the path was no longer recognized in versions 25.07 & 25.11, and vice versa.
This hotfix revises the way External File Mark URLs are written and read by different versions of ArtPro+/Automation Engine, for an increased backward and forward compatibility. Required if you are working with ArtPro+ 25.07 or 25.11 and are using server variables in the External File Mark URL while you need to exchange these files between different ArtPro+ and/or Automation Engine versions. Recommended if you are working with External File Marks even without using variables in the URL.
