FileOptimizer is an advanced file optimizer featuring a lossless (no quality loss) file size reduction that supports an absolutely staggering array of file formats. I counted at least thirty formats but the application supports many more than that and also includes a plug-in mechanism which can enhance the app’s capabilities even more. What does FileOptimizer do? FileOptimizer compresses already compressed files further without changing the file format and retaining complete compatibility with their originals. It keeps the behavior of the file untouched, but with its size reduced thanks to a collection of recompression and optimization techniques. FileOptimizer runs natively under the Windows operating system and can also run under Linux and macOS using WINE.

To create a high performance web client application, a lot of things need to be taken in account. But foremost, when you create a modern SPA (single-page-application) architecture web client application, you will want to look at optimizing the communication of the application to your database back-end. In case you use the Google cloud based infrastructure as your database back-end, you will want to perform as little as possible requests and ensure that the data involved in these requests is as compact as possible. The server-side filtering capabilities of Google Firestore allow you to easily achieve this, especially with the new built-in support for it in the TWebFirestoreClientDataSet in TMS WEB Core. Recalling loading and filtering features of TClientDataSet in classic VCL If you have used a TClientDataSet in Delphi VCL, you already know that the component provides an in-memory table that can be manipulated easily and efficiently. But if there are a large number of records in a database, loading all of them in the TClientDataSet needs to be avoided. With traditional Delphi TClientDataSet, if the records are loaded through a DataSetProvider that supports queries then you can change those queries to load limited records based on a criteria. This approach greatly reduces the memory overhead of the TClientDataSet, since fewer records need to be stored in memory. Compare this with another option of local filters, also from standard Delphi VCL, where the number of records visible in the dataset can be reduced by using local filtering options. But that does not reduce the number of records in memory. It only restricts access to the records filtered out. In Web Core, we give a solution similar to DataSetProvider where certain filtering criteria can be applied at the Firestore to reduce the number of records fetched on opening the dataset. New server-side filtering features in TWebFirestoreClientDataSet The new server-side filtering features purpose is to limit the number of records fetched from a Firestore collection. Consider the problem when the Firestore collection has a large number of records. Loading all of them at once is not a good idea due to the memory overhead of an in-memory table in the TClientDataSet. In the new release of TMS WEB Core, the Firestore ClientDataSet component provides new features to apply filters to the data obtained at the Firestore end. Important background information Before we look at the details of each filtering method, it is necessary to understand some core principles. 1) Method names begin with “AddService” There are several Firestore related filtering methods available in the Firestore ClientDataSet component. They are named starting with “AddService” indicating that they are applied at the Firestore Service level. This is to differentiate them from any local filtering methods already available in the standard ClientDataSet. 2) Firestore filters are not as flexible as SQL queries The primary purpose of the Firestore filter methods is to limit the number of records fetched on opening the dataset in order to reduce the memory overhead. Don’t expect the Firestore filters to be as flexible as an SQL query for your data processing requirements. There are many restrictions and limitations as you will discover later. For an exanple, please see “Limitations and Gotchas” under AddServiceFilterCondition method later in this article. If you have advanced filtering requirements then in addition to the […]

Giuseppe Massimo Pinto has been programming for about four years now. His application (Metrodrummer 2) was one of the Delphi 26th Showcase Challenge entries and we asked for his insights on programming with Delphi. Download Metrodrummer 2 to experience the application. When did you start using RAD Studio/Delphi and how long have you been using it? I”m starting using delphi from about 4 years. Starting with community edition then my boss buy a license con me. I use rad studio for many purpose, but mainly i use it for mobile app development. What was it like building software before you had RAD Studio/Delphi? The only thing I had never created was an app for iPad or Mac. I used, and still use, other tools, mainly C++ or VB6 for development on Windows and Java with Android Studio for Android development. How did RAD Studio/Delphi help you create your showcase application? It helped me a lot for the very intuitive graphic management. The main advantage is having a single project to compile Windows, MAC, iOS and Android applications. What made RAD Studio/Delphi stand out from other options? It compiles for many platforms. What made you happiest about working with RAD Studio/Delphi? The ease of compiling for Android and iOS. What have you been able to achieve through using RAD Studio/Delphi to create your showcase application? Obviously the development of many apps and a .dll which in turn uses an oxc made in C. It was very useful to me as a sound engine in our very famous top program for PC and macOS “Winlive Pro Synth”. The latter however is not done in Delphi. What are some future plans for your showcase application? Now in my company I am working on updates of our software. Certainly some other software always in the music field in which we work Thank you, Giuseppe! Go over to the link below and view the application’s showcase entry for more information. Showcase

About a month ago we published a short blog post about the importance of our partner ecosystem and interviewed DevExpress. Our partners not only build much needed functional capabilities for RAD Studio developers, but also deliver exciting innovation. One partner that is particularly active on the innovation front is TMS Software. They not only provide valuable suites of components for both VCL and FMX, but also new capabilities, such as the recently released TMS WEB Core framework for Delphi-based web development, or the TMS FNC technology to offer visual & non-visual components from a single code-base that span VCL, FMX, LCL and WEB. Over the years, I have learned a lot from TMS Software’s founder, Bruno Fierens, and I asked him to spend some time with me and give me perspectives on our ecosystem and the future. I know that you are one of the most passionate advocates for the Delphi / Pascal languages. Tell me what is your latest thinking about our ecosystem? I absolutely love Object Pascal and Delphi. I believe that this is one of the most important languages with so much unrealized potential. Over the years, we have had our ups and downs, but I am excited about the latest developments and energy in the community. There is no language that is easier to learn, and the RAD Studio visual tooling is superior to many alternatives, so our system creates tremendous value for developers. The pillars of unmatched productivity are: 1) RAD component-based development, 2) strongly typed object -oriented language, 3) focus on easy data-binding and 4) last but not least, a huge language backwards-compatibility. There can, of course, be questions about how fast we move and language evolution. We Delphi developers are not a patient bunch and tend to be very vocal, but it is because we love what we do. We see some good developments, but we think that there can be more and we will actively work with the community to deliver more capabilities for Delphi developers. What are the main issues you think we should address? Well, what worries me most is how we get new young developers to learn and fall in love with Delphi. I think that things are improving, but not fast enough. There were times where we go in Delphi meetings and the majority of people are in their 40s or older. Today, we see more young people and they are doing interesting things, However if you look at the popularity of languages, such as Python or JavaScript, we are way behind. We need to all work to promote what is possible to do with Delphi. It will take the whole community, both Free Pascal and Delphi, to make this possible. We also try to help and contribute with the means we have in this area with our academic program we launched last year https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/academic.asp that offers free components to Delphi students and teachers and that we are expanding all the time. We also launched this year our web academy platform https://www.tmswebacademy.com with free webinars where everyone can learn about Delphi and our tools. How can we promote Delphi better? This is the million-dollar question. You are not Microsoft, so resources of course are limited. I think there are several main areas where we can focus our messaging. […]
AoA Flight Assistant is here to solve a specific problem. I’m sure one thing most of us agree on is that flying is a complicated and risky job. If you’ve ever flown in one of those huge passenger planes, I’m sure, like me, you’ve been amazed at the incredible array of switches, dials and knobs laid out in front of the pilots. There are lots of lights and bizarre ball-shaped gauges which seem to be incomprehensive to most of us. The pilots of smaller planes may have fewer dials to deal with but they also typically do not have the more sophisticated – and brutally expensive – tools to help them manage the art of defying gravity. This is where the AoA Flight Assistant from Advance IT, based in Slovenia, tries to even the score. What does AoA Flight Assistant do? AoA Flight Assistant is a mobile app which integrates into the pilot’s daily workflow and the process of flying the aircraft. AoA Flight Assistant does this by integrating with the mobile phone’s built-in GPS and accelerometer and then calculates the aircraft’s “angle of attack”. The angle of attack is an important calculation which tells the pilot what the angle of the on-coming wind is in relation to the edge of the aircraft’s wings. If the angle of attack is incorrect the plane stops being a flying aircraft and becomes a falling and spinning aircraft. So it’s pretty important to get the angle of attack right! Angle of attack sounds important, don’t all aircraft have something to calculate it? In a word: no, they don’t, at least not on smaller ‘personal aircraft. If you are a pilot and your airplane lacks an instrument which shows you airplane’s angle of attack, but you have a mobile phone with built-in GPS and accelerometer, AoA Flight Assistant is the right app for you.
