Build 9456 [20251121]

Build 9456 [20251121]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Slightly changed "Dark Mode" colours to match the real ones.
  • Added German translations (via Weblate).
  • There's now also a Ukranian translation stub on Weblate but it's empty.
  • Added a new layer to the map ("Streets ESRI") - I've had problems with OSM lately; possibly a Leaflet issue but this is a reasonable fallback.
  • My free Resharper licence has run out and they are no longer renewing small projects like mine so I have switched to Visual Studio 2026 and applied auto-reformatting of files. Rather in one go than bit-by-bit but I think it's for the better.
  • Added GPS Dilution Of Precision (GPSDOP) and GPS Horizontal Positioning Error calc (GPSHPositioningError) as new columns #187
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Fixed #186 Favourites being saved with wrong Latitude info.
  • Fixed map attribution not showing.
  • Fixed packages.config being totally wrong. No clue what had happened there.

Build 9387 [20250912]

Build 9387 [20250912]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Capability to save certain defaults on the Import GPX Form #174
  • App version Bump 1.17 - should have done that w/ the last public release.
  • Added Polish Translations
  • Added some basic feedback to the completion of the GPX Export. (aka "Files exported successfully")
  • Added a Splash Screen. Bit of a gimmick but on slower computers it may be of some use.
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Fixed app restart not working...hopefully (ref #175)
  • Fixed that the Installer forgot to add a relevant DLL file and so Magick wasn't working.
  • Fixed GPX Export not working properly when the desination path contained spaces. #179

Build 9300 [20250618]

Build 9300 [20250618]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Added optional Satellite view layer to the map
  • Thumbnail view #164. Rudimentary and needs testing. Enable/Disable within Settings (requires app restart).
  • There is now a Russian translation stub (via Weblate) but it's empty. I've changed the code not to show empty languages.
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Added some logic to ignore certain particular warnings cropping up when saving files #159
  • Fix Custom Rules not working properly with the TargetPointName attribute
  • Fix API language selection not respected

Build 9196 [20250306]

Build 9196 [20250306]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Added a CancellationToken to the Parsing of DirectoryElements (aka you can now cancel loading a folder.) #120
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Changed the Translation/resources logic into a single file. I realised that having 10 different files would yield 20+ PRs if anyone does an update and it's annoying.
  • Fixed half of the translations not actually working because...not even sure why. My bad nonetheless.
  • Fixed the time element of the TakenDate/CreateDate not being read properly after modify #147
  • Fixed HEIC previews misbehaving #152
  • Fixed the "No access to API" error cropping up multiple times #153
  • Fixed Import (settings) not working due to localisation issues
  • Fixed DateTime copypaste not working and not being handled properly on some Cultures [eg en-AU] #155

Build 9102 [20241202]

Build 9102 [20241202]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • I've moved the whole logic of languages being held in CSV files to RESx files.
  • Added ExifTool version number to the info within the About Form/Box.
  • Added the GPSDOP tag's handling into the GPX Import logic. This requires ExifTool 13.04 or newer. Ref ticket #121.
  • Added a Flat Mode ref Ticket #123 - this is a little experimental atm but should work.
  • Added the build number to the Text of FrmMain. I know this is a bit gimmicky but I like it.
  • App version Bump 1.16
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • I've moved the startup methods to be async/awaited. Hopefully this will hide random occurrences of stuff like "tmi_Help".
  • Also revamped how column orders are handled internally.
  • Hopefully fixed the f....ing SQL Interop issues that occasionally crop up post-installation. It's a bug in VS Installer/Project config and is mighty annoying because it doesn't come up much in debug.
  • Updated the icon naming on the Desktop. For some obscure reason I had it coded with an extraneous space.

Build 9054 [20241015]

Build 9054 [20241015]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Rewrote the SQL handling logic to use DataTables and Transactions rather than write everyone everything [I swear guv I was sober...] on a one-by-one basis. Jolly achievement for someone that claims to be a SQL dev rather than a C# dev but alas.
  • When using copy-paste the Coordinates will now be default-enabled for paste. It's logical that people would want to paste this piece of data if available.
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Application should no longer crash when encountering an invalid piece of Exif data #118
  • Added some logic to enable returning to C:\ if the user enters a 'fake' folder name.
  • "Restart Now" (within Settings) should hopefully work as expected #119
  • Kinda fixed the "Do you want to save the write-Q?" box cropping up twice upon app-close.

Build 8973 [20240726]

Build 8973 [20240726]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • Added an option to Overlay GPX Coordinate Tracks onto the map. This can be found within the Import GPX Tracks Form, at the bottom. Experimental. #107
  • Panel sizes on the FrmMainApp should should now be stored/restored across sessions. #109
  • Added GPX Track Export functionality #114
  • Added the parsing of GPSDateTime tags as a read-only item.
  • Updated the ExifTool-update process to handle the new multi-file package. A mighty annoying move tbh but alas. Anyone experiencing an extra 3 sec delay upon exit, don't complain to me, script now has to extract and move 500 files instead of one.
  • Added some logic to check if a file had already been process within the session (ie you are reloading a folder or navigating back into a folder you've already visited). If so then the file won't be processed again unless changed.
    • This somewhat reintroduces the logic eliminated in build 8391 but less awkwardly. The tradeoff with this is that the app needs to take a checksum of each and every file each time the user does a refresh. This is computer/performance dependent but I tested on 3GB data of 170 files and...
      • 1st time "enter folder" took around 9 seconds
      • Consecutive "enter same folder/refresh" took around 3 seconds.
      • That on a Ryzen 7 5850 + PCIE3 SSD
  • App Version Bump: 1.15
