Prism.DOCX v1.2.0

Prism.DOCX v1.2.0

Prism.DOCX now supports a fully localized English interface alongside Russian.

What's new

• Choose Русский or English in Settings → Language. Changes apply immediately, without restarting the application or closing Settings.
• Your language preference is saved for the next launch. Russian remains the default for existing users and installations without a saved language preference.
• English translations cover the main interface, standard and custom properties, XML editor, Open and Save a Copy dialogs, Settings, confirmations, validation and error messages.

Compatibility

• Switching languages preserves the open document, unsaved edits, selected XML tab and current theme. All seven built-in themes remain available.
• Existing settings files remain compatible, preserving the selected theme and last file directory.
• DOCX processing and metadata editing are unchanged. Document content, property values and XML are not translated or modified by the interface language.

Quality

• Expanded regression coverage for language preferences, translation completeness, parameterized messages and editor state preservation.

Prism.DOCX v1.1.1

Prism.DOCX v1.1.1

Hotfix release for the document picker.

Fixed

• Directory links are now recognized as folders when they lead to accessible locations in the Open and Save Copy dialogs.
• The picker now finds redirected Desktop and Documents locations more reliably and keeps the rest of a folder visible if one entry cannot be inspected.

DOCX editing and the rest of the application are unchanged.

Prism.DOCX v1.1.0

Prism.DOCX v1.1.0

This feature release brings more ways to personalize Prism.DOCX and a consistent, theme-aware workflow for opening documents and saving copies.

What's new

• Seven built-in color themes with instant switching and persistent preferences.
• A dedicated Settings dialog for choosing the application theme.
• New Open and Save Copy dialogs that match the selected theme.

Themes

Choose from Prism, Light, Dark, Graphite, Violet, Emerald, and Nord. The selected theme applies throughout the main interface and file dialogs. The Prism.DOCX logo now uses a single SVG that takes its color from the active theme.

File workflow

The new Open dialog offers folder navigation, shortcuts to common locations and Windows drives, search within the current folder, and a scrollable list that shows folders before DOCX files. DOCX matching is case-insensitive, and the last-used directory is remembered. Select a file with one click, or open it with a double-click or Enter.

The Save Copy dialog lets you choose a folder and filename. It adds .docx when needed, validates file names, asks before replacing an existing file, and prevents saving a copy over the original document. Invalid destinations and save failures produce clear error messages.

Improvements

• Local settings handle missing or invalid configuration more reliably while preserving existing preferences. Unknown theme values fall back to Prism.
• Document size is now read asynchronously to keep the interface responsive.
• Regression coverage has been expanded for themes, settings, and file selection.

Compatibility

DOCX processing and metadata editing remain unchanged. Standard and custom properties, along with the XML editor for the core, app, and custom metadata sections, continue to work as before. Existing settings files remain compatible.

Downloads

Windows installers for this release:

• PrismDOCX-1.1.0.exe
• PrismDOCX-1.1.0.msi

Prism.DOCX v1.0.1

Prism.DOCX v1.0.1

Maintenance release focused on internal performance and code quality. No new user-facing features.

Improvements

• Removed redundant XML serialization and parsing while opening DOCX packages.
• Reused parsed metadata when refreshing standard fields, custom properties, and validation results.
• Kept derived editor state in one update so its values stay in sync.

Notes

• DOCX editing, XML editing, and saving to a separate copy retain their v1.0.0 behavior.
• No file-format or dependency changes.

Prism.DOCX v1.0.0

First public release of Prism.DOCX.

Highlights

• Edit 39 standard DOCX metadata properties and create or manage custom properties.
• Inspect and edit the core, app, and custom metadata XML parts.
• Open a DOCX file from a file picker or by dragging one file into the application.
• Search metadata fields, validate common value types, and switch between light and dark themes.
• Save changes to a separate copy while keeping the source document intact.

Included

• Windows x64 EXE and MSI installers.
• Start Menu shortcut and Windows installation registration from the installers.
• Source code and instructions to build the application with the Gradle Wrapper.

Notes

• The editor changes document properties; it does not edit document text, comments, tracked changes, or arbitrary customXml parts.
• XML editing checks syntax and common value types but does not perform full OOXML schema validation.
• Word may recalculate stored document statistics when it next saves the document.
• Editing the DigSig XML part does not create a valid digital signature.
