GTData version 15.0.0.4 is Available

GTData version 15.0.0.4 is available.

GTData doesn't change a lot anymore.  There are some minor fixes and tweaks, but nothing major.  Most of the Data Conversion updates are in the GTech Loader or the Oracle Loader and those are delivered separately anyway.   With version 15.0.0.4, only the Core utilities are provided in a Zip file instead of using a Setup.   There are still 37 utilities delivered in the Zip file, but these are the self-contained utilities that don't need any dependencies, registration, etc..  They are also the most used of the utilities.

Delivering the utilities as a Zip file will simplify the process of getting the apps to the right directories in your setups.  You will not have to run an installation, then move them.

If you still need one of the utilities not provided in the Core delivery, it will be in the previous full setup.  Full setups will still be created when enough changes accumulate.

GTViewer 15.0.0.17 is Available

GTViewer Version 15.0.0.17 is now available.  This update takes away some of the functionality introduced in version 15 to keep dialogs on the screen.  It turned out that this caused some issues when going between different monitor configures (1 to 2, 2 to 1, etc.).   There were also changes to make all non-modal dialogs position relative to GTViewer instead of relative to their screen position. This brings more consistency to the non-modal dialog behavior.

GTViewer 15 is Available!

GTViewer Version 15 is now available.  This post gives more details about the new functionality, but here's a summary:

• Session Manager - better management of GTViewer sessions when you have multiple datasets open at the same time.
• Display Manager - provides an updated version of the Display Filter for better control of what you are displaying (don't worry, the Display Filter is still available).
• Improved Linestyle Rendering - upgrades to the rendering engine to better represent dashed styles on arcs and curves.
• Query Indexes - Locate Queries now support an optional index to speed up their search time. 
• Locate Query Highlight Modes - A query definition can now define the locate highlight mode: persistent highlight, non-persistent highlight, persistent box, or non-persistent box.
• Reload Command - reload all of the data's configuration files with one command.  This command is probably only useful for administrators, but it's very handy.
• GPS Tracking - will now handle tracking in multiple datasets simultaneously.
• Custom Detail URLs - allows you to specify complex locates as a URL in your tabular data.  Users can click on them to display detail files or locate to another part of the map.
• URL Support - The Attribute Info dialog will now support HTTP and HTTPS links with no configuration.
• Automatic Dialog Adjustments - In previous versions, supporting dialogs (toolboxes, symbol palettes, etc.) could be lost off the side of the screen (especially when you switch monitors or go from dual to single monitors).  All of these dialogs will now automatically move back onto the screen.
• Private Font Support - GTViewer can now use TrueType fonts that are not registered with Windows.  The .TTF files just have to be in a specific directory.
• API Enhancements- many new methods have been added to the programming interface.
• 4K Monitor Support - updates have been made to better support larger monitors and higher pixel densities.  Older versions of GTViewer would squish or distort some of the dynamic dialogs when the pixel density increased.
