preps5 utilizes an info.smg file in their smart-marks interface (mark group desc.) when going to menu/template/import-smart-marks. seems preps7 does not support this info.smg file … as i find no such field in preps7 smart-marks-palette as well as smart-marks-interface. a quick look to preps7 rules-editor yielded same omission.

how to inform operator of notations (procedures, issues, versions, etc.)?
example:
smart-marks group-name "tpc camera-marks (non-perf)" defines the group as 'applying smart-marks to non-perfecting layouts' … but the info-smg file (residing in the parent-folder) also notified operator of crucial issues … as illustrated in the att'd images below.​
a quick reference, using google, comes up with zero articles regarding info.smg … guess nobody on this planet utilizes this feature … which means kodak will probably never support the feature. Screen shot 2015-09-15 at 9.22.59 AM.png.jpg
