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

• NEW & UPDATED:

  • Dark Mode should now apply to GPX Import Report
  • Custom MessageBoxes should now respect hotkeys in certain cases
  • Added PNG and WEBP file support
  • Added an auto-updater. It's a bit tricky to test but I think it works. Report bugs pls.

• BUGS & FIXES:

  • Patched GPX Import Report re #105

Build 8834 [20240309]

Build 8834 [20240309]

• NEW & UPDATED:

  • Paste coordinate-pair string from clipboard into Edit Form (see readme about this or the tooltip in the Edit Form) #100
  • Added a button to the Edit Form to move to the next image when there's a multi-selection (Apply & Move to Next) [also #100]
  • Bumped exifTool to v12.77
  • Rewrote the logic of updating for exifTool, from now onwards, it should be automatic.

• BUGS & FIXES:

  • Added an extra warning if the file-save fails for what's likely a UTF path error #98
  • Added a check to ensure that files have the necessary data before attempting to create FOV re #99
  • Patched two vaguely related issues regarding SQLITE REPLACE and LastLat/Lng read on startup when not using EN-xx culture.
    • While at it also patched a cleanup issue with the SQLite database.

Build 8661 [20230918]

Build 8661 [20230918]

• NEW & UPDATED:
  • App Version Bump: 1.13
  • GPSDestinationLat/Long ...
    • is now being displayed in certain cases (when there is a series of images subject to a set of conditions. See the readme on how this works.),
    • can be modified via a new button below the map,
    • has been added to the list/function of "remove all geodata"
  • Added a new tab for the Exif info - this lists the values as they are held by GTN internally.
  • Added 2 new buttons for filing feature requests and bugs (both require a GitHub acct.)
  • Added Dark Mode support. Refer to the readme but it's very ugly and there's little I can do about that as WinForms doesn't support the rich capabilities Windows 10/11 can offer for the time being.
  • Added various options for "Dark Mode Map"
• BUGS & FIXES:
  • Fixed an error when data in MyComputer wasn't properly recorded and this caused a crash
  • Reverted a change introduced earlier re: webView2 initialisation after it randomly failed on one of my VMs

Build 8646 [20230903]

Changelog since Build 8641

NEW & UPDATED:

• Graduated the app to version 1.x [technically 1.10 because it's been edging up on the minor versions ever since initial release] - yayy. It now has all the features I initially wanted.
• Added some support for reading and displaying ImgDirection/Ref.
• Updated the "update" logic -> there's now a Setting that enables the user to update to pre-release [dev] releases or master-only. Master releases will no longer be marked as pre-release on GitHub.
