We are pleased to announce a new version of FileVoyager, featuring a host of enhancements and fixes to elevate your user experience.
Modernized Code: FileVoyager has undergone an extensive and meticulous code migration from Delphi 2006 to Delphi 10.4. This not only ensures compatibility with the latest technologies but should enhance the stability thanks to the code clean up that was needed.
Polish Translation: FreSta is the new hero of our community. He did an amazing work translating FileVoyager in Polish. Thank you, FreSta ❤️
Mapping Refinements:
- The Viewer component now incorporates a refined retry mechanism for loading HEIC file previews, addressing delays caused by Windows returning a PENDING status.
- When rendering a geolocated media, the Viewer now makes use of Mercator Projection to query the HERE Maps API v3 and OpenStreetMap Raster API. Mercator Projections introduce a faster mapping experience.
FileVoyager keeps supporting HERE, Yandex, OpenStreetMap, Bing and Google for the mapping.
⚠️ Note that only OpenStreetMap and Yandex can be used without API Key.- For the other services, please consult their documentation to learn how to setup an API key.
- When in possession of a valid API Key, put it in FileVoyager for your personal use.
- API Keys are not free but allow users to query a huge, really huge, amount of maps for free.
- Dark Mode has been introduced a while ago and now extends to the maps as well.
Custom stylings is used for HERE, Google Maps, and Bing Maps. And Negative filter is used on OpenStreetMap and Yandex Maps, contributing to a visually comfortable experience.
