This is a big update for GTViewer 20 with a lot of new features/fixes/changes:
- Reorganization of Toolbars and Menus (better groups, cleanup of lesser-used commands)
- New features on the Right-Mouse menu: Edit Properties (on session graphics), Measure from Point, GPS Reference Point (toggles to replace Set Reference Point and Clear Reference Point).
- Allows reordering Tabbed Views
- A new simplified set of Accelerator keys (shortcuts)
- Support for .NET 8+ External Apps (and new template app)
- API has several new methods to support automatically External App dialog boxes. Greatly simplifies the sizing of the dialogs, it and lets you set min and max sizes for the resizable ones.
- API has a couple of new events: View Changed and View Position Changed. This supports the View Sync app and allows external apps to follow the view.
- External Apps can now use Follow Mode (to move with GTViewer)
- Much better support for High DPI displays: Better scaling, better images, better selection tolerances, etc.
- This version also has the beginnings of SQLite support for tabular data and queries. It is not complete, but it's getting there!
-----------------------
20.00.00.25 - 02/11/26
-----------------------
- FIX - #8847 - Fixed a problem with the View title after a File/Reload. The new description was being appended every time, even when it was already present.
- FIX - #8848 - Closing a Toolbox from the Tools menu would not properly clean up the object and could crash when exiting GTViewer.
- FIX - #8849 - HDPI adjustments so resizable dialogs scale appropriately for different DPIs.
- FIX - #8850 - Magnify Windows was closing when it received focus (as when trying to move the window).
- FIX - #8851 - Selection Tolerance was not scaled to DPI, which made it hard to select features when using high DPI settings.
- FIX - #8852 - Added new method to DialogObject: RunDialogCommand, which can keep an External App at the top left of its View window.
- FIX - #8856 - The Large Toolbar Button Setting has been removed since the automatic HDPI adjustment should do a better job.

These new methods greatly simplify setting the initial dialog size from the user control (using its own Height and Width) as well as being able to set a Min and Max for the sizeable dialog mode.
- FIX - #8826 - Automatically opening the last opened file when it is no longer available was not giving an informative error message.
- FIX - #8827 - The All On and All Off Buttons on the Feature tab in the Display Manager were not working correctly for all View types.
