How to identify Folio Builder Panel version?

I'm very grateful that Adobe finally start to put info about version of each component to name of download archive, it's less mess now.
But i'm still lost when i need to identify which version of Folio Builder Panel is installed on each computer. How to the hell i can find out from this if i have 1.9 or 1.9.1?
12.1.3.20120307_m_680879 - this is NOT user friendly
Thanks for help!
M.

The version number 1.9.1 refers to the producer tools. You find it in the
info panel of the folio builder panel.
Sadly (very sadly) it still says 1.9 even when you have 1.9.1 installed.
The long version number you see in light grey (and the info window) shows
the panel version and it's release date. In your case 7th march, 2012.
I have detailed info about version numbers at caniupdateadobedps.com

Version 19 Release - Update Folio Builder panel

Digital Publishing Suite released a mandatory update to the Folio Builder panel as well as a new version of the Folio Producer tools. You can view a list of new features here: What's new in this release.
Should you update the Folio Builder panel?
Yes, or you won't be able to use the panel. Note that updating the panel does not affect your version of the DPS tools.
Should you update the Folio Producer tools?
If you're in the last stages of publishing a folio, if you have an important presentation coming up, or if you created a custom viewer using a previous set of tools and don't want to update your viewer app yet, install only the Folio Builder panel.
If you install the new Folio Producer tools and create a folio, you cannot view it in the current Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad (until Apple approves the new version) or with a custom viewer app that hasn't been updated to v19. If you try to open a new folio in an older viewer, a "Please update your app" message appears.
If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer so that you don't have to wait for Apple to approve.
For links and addition installation information, see Installing digital publishing tools.

CS5 Folio Builder Panel Update - Panel Gone

I just updated the Folio Builder Panel for CS5 on Mac to the latest version (Jan 26, 2012) and when I run InDesign, the Folio Builder Panel is no longer there. Also, the CSLive panel gives me an "internal error" message. I installed the updates on my PC for CS 5.5 and it all seems to work. However, I need to work in CS5 for this particular project. Is this a known issue? How do I remedy the situation? In case it matters, I also updated the Folio Producer Tools (Jan 17, 2012), as well.

So, I ended up getting everything ironed out, though it took a couple of hours of trying various things. Essentially, the Folio Builder Panel was installed, however Indesign was not seeing it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign, but that didn't remove the Folio Builder Panel, and did not "refresh" it to become visible.
Ultimately, I had to go throught the app folders and manually uninstall the extension. After reinstalling, the panel showed up. However a new problem emerged. Indesign was trying to login to my account but just spinning and nothing was happening. I could not cancel the "sign in" attempt. Finally, this was resolved by opening key chain and deleting the Adobe entry from there which allowed me to reenter my credentials.
Whew. Thank goodness that's over. (until the next update, that is).
Hopefully, this can save others some time who may run into this. Seems like it was a bit of a fluke.

Folio Builder Panel update error

Tried updating folio tools 3Xs. Keep getting this eror:
A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download. Update Folio Builder panel to latest version here.
Have quit inDesign, restarted the computer, logged on and still get the error.
Any ideas?

There was a short amount of time where the link in the Folio Builder panel was redirecting to the old download still, but it should be working now.
You can head directly to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html to get your downloads. Make sure that the file is from November 17th.

The Folio Builder panel, design-wise...

Part of my job is to teach routined InDesign users how to build Folio's. Most of them do quite well, after their initial confusion with the Interaction panels ("which do and which don't work with ADPS"). But the panel they fear most, is definitely the Folio Builder. Not even because of its casual malfunctioning (that's my nightmare as a trainer), but mainly because of its design and cosmetics. The panel sports a well-know and trusted appearance, but it's a devil in disguise.
It begins with logging-in. "No, you can't click the bull's-eye, it's just a mysterious indicator." It would be much more obvious if it looked like a led (red or green) or if it had some useful interaction to it - letting you log in/out perhaps...
Next, the three-tiered views are not clear enough. When I show them the image below, and tell them how their workflow moves from left to right and from right to left (from "Account" to "Folio" to "Article" to "Layout" and v.v.) they immediately 'get it'. And after warning them that the navigational elements on top of the panel are quite clueless (what to hit, to go where to), and that you're often thrown back from Layout to Folio (skipping Article), they're in charge and on guard. Finally, I tell them that the "New" button magically changes its functionality in each level ("wait for the pop-up!"). It is highly unusual that a side menu shows and hides certain commands in each level. It should list ALL associated commands, and show momentarily unavailable ones grayed out.
This all wouldn't be necessary if the panel would be a bit more self-explanatory. I hope this rant helps to improve its design.

very good. these all need to be addressed. the experience of the folio
builder panel is bad... I have so many ideas of a redesign in my mind, but
I'm not in charge. maybe this thread can turn into a design ideaas for the
Panel.
good start, Peter!

Can't log into Folio Builder panel. Wont verify CC Membership. Indesign or DPS bug?

I have tried to log in to see my folios in the folio Builder panel. However it as for AdobeID. I am logged into my CC Account already. so when the builder panel trys to verify it just spins and spins and tells me to enter password again. any help would be nice. I have update panel and deleted the OOCM file or that is what I think I read to do on this forum. Thanks in advance for any direction.

Well mate, I've got inDesign CC and have similar issue. Mine is saying no internet, connect and try again... I contacted CC centre and they are saying I have to wait for 24 hours until SAB ( which I am not sure what it is) to be removed and the account will be activated. I must say Adobe charged me for the CC first and payment has been made.
I recommend you to contact their centre and explain to them what is happening. The other way, try to sign in to your creative cloud first and then run your inDesign CC and see how you go.
Kind regards,
Calvin

New folio builder panel

Since loading the new folio builder panel i am unable to load articles. Any help would be appreciated.

You can update the viewer builder panel independent from producer tools.
So you can stay on version 17 of the tools but you need the current folio
builder panel.

URGENT - folio builder panel upgrade

We are publishing one of our monthly issues in a few hours but have just seen the message:
'A mandatory Folio Builder Panel upgrade will be required on May 2nd. Installers will be posted at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ when the update is required.'
Can we still publish as planned or do I have to install the new panel before hand?
Thanks
Liam

The creation of a folio file and having it show up in a branded app consists of several steps. Creation of a folio in the folio builder panel is what we call the upload or creation process. The act of putting the folio onto the distribution service for consumption by a mass audience is what we call "publishing" the folio.
Once a folio has been created using whatever version of the tools you want and a supported version of the folio builder panel, you can publish the content from the folio producer tools at any time. The version of the panel you use or updating the panel has nothing to do with the publish action which is the migration of content onto the distribution service.

Folio Builder panel question

I can't see my old folios, that were created a year ago on the Folio Builder panel.
Also I do not see "Show All" folios option on this panel.
What I can do to fix the problem?
Thanks,
KK

Bob,
The fact is that I can see my folios in Folio Producer and I do not have two different Adobe accounts.
My problem is that I can't see these folios (except the recent one, see above) in the Folio Builder panel.
If I need to make any editing to the articles, how do I handle it if I can't see and update Article in the Folio Builder?
If anything can't be done, I will recreate these folios under different names.
We (Georgia Tech) are moving towards Enterprise Edition, and plan to publish our earlier created folios. But we may need to edit them before publishing.
Thanks,
KK

Folio Builder panel in CS6 and CC (says update required) - can't install update (no Admin rights)

Hi. I've been running CS6 and the Folio Builder Panel keeps saying "DPS — A software update is required, go to the Help menu for Updates..." When I go to the Help section there are no updates. I recently moved to CC hoping the problem would fix itself but it hasn't. I downloaded the DPS Package update for both versions of the program — and I tried to install each one. Both give me error messages saying I don't have Admin rights. Adobe's tech support walked me through enabling Admin rights (although I should have had them already) and that didn't work.
Has anyone else had trouble installing the DPS update? I would like to actually use the DPS tools!
Thanks

Hi Bob, I ended up having to uninstall CS6, then reinstall it — then for a separate Folio Builder log in issue, I followed another thread and removed the (Application Support/Adobe) OOBE folder. Functioning smoothly for now! Thanks for your suggestion.

I'm missing Folio Builder Panel in Indesign CC

I just downloaded InDesign CC, installed DPS tools but don't have Folio Overlays or Folio Builder panels under Windows in InDesign. I am using inDesign CC on a MacBook Pro. I have it all working in CS6 but not CC. Is there something that I'm missing? bv

As far as I remember I had the same issue when i let an old version of CS6 on my computer (was a PC). I had to clean everything related to Adobe to then install all CC, and then that worked. Not surs that may be the same problem for Mac, but that was my experience.

Consequences of new folio builder Panel.

I get the ticks, I'm in the midle of a huge production an now we get a new folio builder panel(12th of March), will that mean that I will have to update all viewers (I have got 9 countries) in order to read folios created with the new one ??
I Just updated all my viewers to support newsstand for free subscribtions (They are still pending for review)
Kind Regards
- Lars

Updating the viewer panel is mandatory but does not affect the types or
versions of folios you create.
When you update the producer tools (you can do wheneever you like) a new
version of the viewer is necessary, because of the new folio versions made
by the producer tools.

UPDATE: Install new Folio Builder panel

The Folio Producer tools on the web were updated July 21. Please update your Folio Builder panel to make sure that it's in sync with the web client. The links for downloading the 1.1.2 update will appear on the main DPS installer pages:
Mac OS: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Windows
Note that there is a difference between installing the new Folio Builder panel and updating the authoring tools. Whenever there is an update to the web client, you should update the Folio Builder panel. However, when the new version of the authoring tools (Overlay Creator panel and plugin) becomes available, you have a choice of updating the authoring tools or continuing to use an older release. For example, you may want to continue using an older set of authoring tools so that you can continue to work on folios for a custom viewer that you created, and you don't want to update that viewer app in the store every time a set release comes out.
The v14 authoring tools will be available later, when all the viewers are approved in the stores. The new version of the Viewer Builder app is scheduled for release early next week. You'll be able to specify languages and use in-app billing for Android viewers.
When you update your Folio Builder panel, you will be able to do the following:
* Re-order articles in the Folio Builder panel by dragging and dropping
* Unshare folios with individuals
* Upload large articles (the limit increased from 100 MB to 2 GB)

OK, I've done this.
To test what's happening for sure, I have uninstalled and re-installed time and time again, step by step. Here's what I get:
1. install Digital Publishing Suite: I can sign in to Folio Builder
2. install patch 1.0.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
3. install patch 1.1.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
4. install patch 1.1.2: I cannot sign in to Folio Builder
Here are the messages I get when I try to sign in with 1.1.2. It's always one or the other, at random.
On my Mac at home, I can sign in without problem. Could it be a firewall issue with the Windows computers at the office? If the sign-in system has changed, please tell me what Adobe has done so that I can communicate this to our IT support.
In the meantime, I have downgraded to 1.1.1 so that I can continue working with DPS.
