Field-Map 23 – version history

Field-Map Data Collector

• Immediate splash screen when starting Collector Collector
  A splash screen is now displayed immediately after launching Field-Map Data Collector. Loading the names of recently opened projects can occasionally take a few moments, during which users previously received no visual confirmation that the application had started. The new splash screen provides instant feedback that the program is launching.
• Loading indicator when opening Settings
  A loading message has been added when opening the Settings window. In complex projects, loading all settings may take some time. Users are now immediately informed that the Settings window has been opened successfully and that its contents are being loaded.
• Improved Set of Trees positioning function
  The Set of Trees function has been optimized to improve performance when working with large datasets. It now initially loads only the trees visible within the current map extent. When the map is moved inside the Set of Trees window, newly visible trees are loaded dynamically. This significantly reduces loading times and memory usage while maintaining seamless access to the required trees.
• Tap-to-focus support in Field-Map Camera
  Photo capture using Field-Map Camera has been improved with tap-to-focus functionality. Users can now tap the desired area on the display to focus the camera on a specific object before taking a photograph, making it easier to capture sharp and properly focused images in the field.

Field-Map Data Collector

• Corrected crown projection area calculation
  The calculation of the crown projection area has been corrected for crowns mapped counterclockwise. Previously, this mapping direction could result in a negative area value. The area is now calculated correctly regardless of the direction in which the crown outline is mapped.

Field-Map Data Collector

• Database Query Tools: Improved resizing of the query list panel in the Tasks tab, so it now adapts correctly to the window size.

Field-Map Data Collector

• Fixed an issue where refreshing or navigating between records could incorrectly create duplicate records in related 1:1 tables with default values, resulting in primary key violations. These records are now created only when the controlling field value is changed.
• Fixed an issue where confirming an unchanged diameter value during repeated tree measurement did not update the field status visually from italic to normal font. The diameter measurement is now correctly confirmed even when the original value is accepted without modification.
• Database Query Tools: Restored the option to run a query by double-clicking its name in the Tasks tab.
• Database Query Tools: Fixed navigator file generation for queries using attributes from multiple layers. The correct layer is now written to the navigator XML according to the selected record GUID.
• Database Query Tools: Fixed SQL generation for grouped queries using child lookup tables. Parent lookup tables included in the SELECT clause are now also handled correctly in the GROUP BY clause.

Field-Map Project Manager

• Fixed an issue where project metadata could be saved inconsistently during conversion from Access to Firebird, occasionally causing duplicate attributes and a key violation when opening the new project.

Tool: Import2FieldMap

• Resolved an issue where deep filtering limited the import to a single plot. Importing all plots at once now works correctly again.

Field-Map Project Manager

• Improved grid behaviour and display.

Field-Map Data Project Manager

• Fixed an issue in the Transfer Data between Projects tool.

Field-Map Data Collector

• Fixed an issue that could occur after activating a lookup list.
• Fixed an issue related to deep filter handling.
• Fixed an issue in coordinate conversion.
• Changes to symbols are now reflected across all plots.

Field-Map Data Collector
The “Searching Lookup Lists Using the Virtual Keyboard” feature has been improved to allow diacritics-insensitive searching. Users can now find items in lookup lists by typing plain ASCII characters, without the need to enter accented letters. This significantly speeds up searching, especially when using the virtual keyboard in the field.

Field-Map Data Collector, Project Manager and Inventory Analyst
Display issues affecting certain forms on high-DPI displays have been fixed, improving layout consistency and usability on modern screens.
