GeoTagNinja Changelog

Build 9xxx [20241xxx]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • NA
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • I've moved the startup methods to be async/awaited. Hopefully this will hide random occurrences of stuff like "tmi_Help".

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]

  • 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

  • BUGS & FIXES:

    • Changed the way auto-updater works. It was taking PublishedDate as a basis for Build number, which wasn't entirely correct. #110

Build 8897 [20240511]

  • 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.
    • Updated some of the underlying packages; removed x86 references to SQLite

  • BUGS & FIXES:

    • Patched GPX Import Report re #105

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 8768/8822 [20240103] (released 20240216)

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Long-pressing a point on the map will now offer the user to save the map location to the image so that there's no need for extra click #91
    • Added functionality as per #92 to drag the map marker and allow the user to add the new value to the selected image(s).
    • Added toponomymName to the options within Custom City Allocation Rules
    • Changed how file names with "[]" chars are handled for saving.
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.72
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed an issue re #93 Open Coords in API misbehaving.
    • Fixed Custom Rules panel breaking because the object type was wrong due to an earlier logic-consolidation.
    • Fixed Copy-Paste empty Direction value showing as 0 on the map.
    • Fixed Copy-Paste empty Destination value breaking the the map when selecting multiple files.
    • Run a spell checker on the readme....

Build 8680 [20231007]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 1.14
    • Implemented an Export/Import functionality for Settings and Custom Rules
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.67
    • Streamlined a lot of code relating to the reusability of on-the-fly Form generation
    • Same goes for generic reusability, messageboxes, enums, buttons, whatnots
    • Various further Dark Mode changes/improvements
    • Added the capability to Restart the app immediately if the user wants so in the Settings
    • Added support for previewing HEIC images
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed Country DropDown not displaying anything if the existing data wasn't on the predefined list. It now takes value from CountryCode
    • Fixed Date Shift misbehaving
    • Fixed newly-saved data not being written back into the DE-logic

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]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 1.10
    • Graduated the app to version 1 [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.
      • Added a TaskbarProgressBarState indicator
      • Update 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.
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.65
    • Changed the internal logic as to how the ListView coordinates get put on the map. Trying to fully move away from reading data from the ListView rather than from the DirectoryElement
    • Changed internal logic re: (not) defaulting values to strings in certain cases
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed a bug where in Finland (English) culture [possibly others too] the app would crash because decimals were being converted in the wrong way.
    • Fixed some logic relating to certain Composite Tags not being written properly
    • Then fixed an issue caused by this where XMP tags weren't written out to XMP files properly.
    • Also fixed a duplication issue in the outgoing args file while at it
    • Fixed a bug where Paste would also attempt to affect folders

Build 8610 [20230729] [dev branch release]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added an option to use Imperial instead of Metric. In practice this still saves data in Metric but shows as Imperial. #82
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.64
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed a bug where the original file is set not to be overwritten but XMP is and ultimately the DE didn't get cleread properly, resulting in what appeared to be an unresponsive non-save.
    • Fixed a bug pasting string values across files causing a crash
    • Updated the Kyiv TZ name (from Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv) - this appears to have caused some problems before
    • Fixed a bug where timezone was read incorrectly from the Edit Form
    • Fixed a bug where RAW and XMP files contradict each other for Lat/Long Ref values and the wrong one is taken
    • Fixed a bug where opening the Edit Form via the File menu would cause crash
    • Fixed a logical flaw where, after pressing OK in the Edit File Form the code would parse the whole folder again for any outstanding data
    • Amended DE Parse logic for (lack of) dates values - re #86

Build 8556 [20230605]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 0.9
    • Added a "Collections Mode", in particular to work with Jeffrey Frield's LightRoom Classic Plugin "Run Any Command". Details on how to use this are in the readme.
    • Rewrote the sorting logic to account for the data type of the column being sorted (i.e. date, number, text etc)
    • Added Country to Favourites
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.62
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed a bug where the TZ dropdown in Import GPX could cause a crash if the user was in a TZ that wasn't on the dropdown.
    • Paste-values logic minor revamp
    • Changed settings to default-write-into-image-file to false
    • Rewrote the File Edit Form load process. The existing one took way too long because it parsed data for a number of Objects that were entirely irrelevant.
    • Rewrote the Track Import logic not to overflow when too many files were involved. (see ticket 78).

Build 8469 [20230310]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 0.8
    • Entirely rewrote the code to work off DirectoryElements rather than DataTables. This is techy so I won't get into it here, for anyone cares read the code or discussion #62
    • Added functionality to auto-navigate to a selected Favourite in the dropdown.
    • Added a "recall last Track Sync Shift" option.
    • Added logic for the pick-from-API-choices Form to accept doubleClick and (keyboard) Enter (key)
    • Added a button in the Paste Form for generic All/None
    • Added a button in the Paste Form for recalling the last Paste settings
    • Added an option to halt further API pulls if one failed
    • Changed certain numeric TextBoxes to NumericUpDowns.
    • Added logic to replace hard-coded City-definition logic with user choices.
    • Changed versioning logic. Will use simple build numbers from now on in the "public facing" element of the app. Windows & Visual Studio still require the ##.##.#### logic rather than just a build number but the About section won't show it..
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed a bug where NumericUpDown changes didn't trigger setting fonts to Bold
    • Fixed the map zooming way too far out when negative lat/long values are present
    • Changed the pick-from-API-choices Form to be 1-based-index rather than 0-based
    • Fixed MessageBox captions always saying "Error" as output
    • Fixed a bug where one or two Settings were ignored on load
    • Fixed a variety of random bugs relating to time-shift copypastes not entirely behaving
    • Further fixed a variety of bugs that yet again I don't entirely remember

Build 8421 [20230121]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added a "Manage Favourites" element to the Settings area.
    • Added Custom Rules. This is experimental for now. Wiki here.
    • Updated CountryCode ISO SQLite logic with CSV
    • Updated Altitude-pull (from Web) logic. At the same time removed the separate button(s) to do that as it's now part of the Toponomy pull.
    • Added an option for changing the API language. This won't affect countrynames though because they derive from the CountryCode so there might be little visibility of this change in practice.
    • Added an option for GPX import to ignore reverse geocoding.
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.55
    • Made the installer look a tad prettier. (I know, right?!)
    • Rewrote parts of the Settings Form and the underlying logic.
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed Paste not actually pasting Country
    • Fixed crash when API offline or Unauth'd
    • Fixed crash when User Folder not existing
    • Fixed a bug re: the API sending back invalid Altitude data. While I can't do much about that per se but now if there is existing data in the file then that will be retained rather than making it -32756m or some such.
    • Fixed a recursion bug while loading the Edit Form. Should run faster now.
    • Fixed a bug re: how DateTime formats are handled.
    • Fixed a bug re: Time-Shift values not being properly recalled if user didn't explicitly refresh folder.
    • Fixed a bug in Settings where subject to certain preceding actions the wrong checkbox value would be saved.

Build 8391 [20221222]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 0.7
    • Added Column Sort (kudos to Urmel, thank you!)
    • Added Column Show/Hide (kudos to Urmel, thank you!)
    • Added a Setting to return X rows of data from the API within Y miles radius (I think it's miles anyway, maybe KM)
    • Added a Setting to optionally replace empty Toponomy values with whatever the user wants
    • Updated Time-Shift to work properly w/ Copy Paste.
    • Updated Read-in logic to process the whole folder in one go. Should run a lot faster now.
    • Updated the Paste logic (preselection based on what has changed in the source file.)
    • Updated GPX import to only apply to selected files, not the whole folder
    • Updated logic so that map refreshes without markers when there are no files with coordinates selected (rather than leave markers on, which can be misleading)
    • Updated Translations. (thanks pbranly)
    • Updated City/Sublocation logic (thanks Clariden)
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.52
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Eliminate MD5 checks. Basically the bloody thing takes longer than re-parsing the whole folder.
    • Removed the built-in webView2 installer because it was more of a pain in the backside than benefit. Updated the readme w/ instructions should this cause a problem.
    • Fixed logic to ensure if a value in the FrmEdit is replaced with a blank it actually does get queued up for writing.
    • Stuff I don't remember.

Build 8370 [20221201]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added Modify TakenDate & CreateDate (it's in the Edit File section - and no the time-shift cannot be copy-pasted yet -> shift works in terms of modifying the literal DateTime at the moment not as in a proper copyable "shift" value.)
    • Added a hold/blocker on entering a folder until the folder loads. This is annoying but is needed to prevent users from starting operations before the files are processed.
    • Added some logic to locally store (for the length of the session) each file's data. This is so that if the actual image/xmp files don't change then there's no need to re-parse everything again. It's slow and pointless.
    • Added functionality to "Get Data from Other File" in the Edit File section.
    • Changed logic around the addition of sidecar XMP files and (possibly) overwriting the source image file.
    • Added this changelog.md file to the project outputs. I don't expect anyone to read it locally but at least now it's possible.
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.51
    • Added some logic to the above to allow for "Original Files DateTime" to be reset to CreateDateTime by default for RAW images. (These can all be changed in Settings/File Specific)
    • Rewrote the Excel macro that deals with exporting languages. It can now also import. (less relevant for the users but makes my life easier.)
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Fixed Copy-Paste properly. Users can now pick what to paste. It's faster too now.
    • Error msg/image name not showing properly when file gone missing
    • The previous version introduced an error in Non-English regions when the user clicked on the map. This has been fixed.
    • Rewrote logic re: UK Cities/Regions being mixed up. Now only applies to London.
    • Thoroughly renamed all my rather ambigous filePath variables in the code to specify fileNameWithPath and fileNameWithoutPath. This isn't a material change but it makes things a bit more readable.
    • Further French lang updates. Thanks to pbranly once again.

Build 8358 [20221119]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • App Version Bump: 0.6
    • Finally managed to get hold of ReSharper so the code has been refactored in totality. Famous last words but it shouldn't affect usage.
    • Added a ".." to the main grid (listView) where applicable (parent folder).
    • Added the capability to navigate to the top of the folder structure. (e.g. MyComputer and then list the drives.)
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Changed how the previews get created. This will hopefully result in faster preview-creation. The orientation-problem is still unsolved but it's likely to remain so for the time being.
    • If a user's "Pictures" (or any other "Special") folder had been moved and renamed the would break because Windows treats special folders in odd ways. (e.g. if the Pics folder is called "Pics" Windows would still show "Pictures", which doesn't per se exist.)
    • If the user had chosen "Delete All GPS Data" and subsequently added GPS data the addition would not have gone through upon save. This is now fixed.
    • Rewrote the logic of (re)creating sidecar XMP files as the original logic would pull data from the RAW file (only), possibly overwriting Adobe-specific stuff that had been stored in an already-existing XMP.

Build 8350 [20221111]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added sync/import GPS Track Files.
    • Added the capability to resize the main elements. Their positions aren't saved for now.
    • Added a button to the ToolStrip to "get all from the web" (toponomy & altitude for selected items)
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.50
    • Updated the logic of language file creation
    • Code refactoring
    • Updates to nuGet packages
    • Special thanks to pbranly for very extensive testing.
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Using keyboard/keys on the main grid (listView).
    • ToolStripButtons' ToolTips now work as intended.
    • Removing data when sidecar XMPs are enabled now actually removes data from the sidecar XMPs
    • Code updates re how integers and decimals are handled in various culture settings. (tested on HU and FR)
    • IDK (i don't know) - so far 39 files have been updated, that is almost everything. I should do proper commits, not one-huge-commit, it is bad practice.

Build 8334 [20221026]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Bumped exifTool to v12.49
    • Added Multi-Select capability to the map. (i.e. multiple pins now show properly)
    • Partial French translations added in (thanks to pbranly)
    • Update checks will now only happen once a week. No need to spam the world with API requests.

Build 8333 [20221025]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Changed the logic relating to checking the newest version of exifTool online. The original was querying an API that hadn't been updated for months.

Build 8314 [20221006] + Build 8318 [20221010]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added a "don't ask again" button for the "loc-to-file" dialogbox. This is session specific (if you close/restart the app, it will come back again). [Updated this logic in the Build 8318 release]
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Minor code cleanup

Build 8304 [20220926]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added a new setting to control whether to default to lat/long 0/0 on the map if there is no geodata in the file clicked.

Build 8293 [20220915]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Disabled the notification for "1 new file created" when saving RAW files that don't already have an XMP s/c file. This came up for each file separately and was a bit annoying.
    • Changed max zoom on map to more "zoomier" (from lvl 13 to 19). FWIW I think the new one is the "zoomiest" the system allows.
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Various

Build 8270 [20220823]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added check for exifTool version change tracking
    • Added check for GeoTagNinja version change tracking
    • Added (better) commentary to the code
    • Changed Settings/Edit Forms' behaviour not to block other windows.
  • BUGS & FIXES:
    • Various

Build 8251 [20220804]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Added "Remove GeoData" to main form as well as Edit form
    • Added this changelog.md file
    • Added a readme to the ExtraFiles folder
    • Added handling to MessageBox texts being read from SQLite

Build 8248 [20220801]

  • NEW & UPDATED:
    • Initial release
    • App Version Bump: 0.5
