Hi
We have now released a beta version of ImageEn/FireMonkey.
It is a direct port of our VCL version, but does NOT include:
Any Dialogs
- ImageEn open/save dialogs
- Built-in image effects dialog (TImageEnProc.DoPreviews)
- Built-in image I/O properties dialog (TImageEnIO.DoPreviews)
- Layer Properties dialog
- Printing and Print Preview dialogs
Any Windows Features
- Windows shell components and features (such as video thumbnails)
- TIEFolderMView
- WIC file formats and features
- GDI+
- Rich formatting for text layers
- AVI and Meta-File support
Other
- Image Acquisition (Twain, WIA, WPD)
- Video Acquisition (DirectShow, MMF)
- Support for plug-ins like ImageMagick and WpViewPDF
- Legacy components: TImageEnVect, THSVBox and TGradientBox
Also, at this time, we have only ported to Windows. Support for other platforms is planned.
Naturally being a beta, it will have bugs and incompatibilities. Beta testers are expected to test and report issues.
The beta is open to anyone with an active ImageEn license (as it includes all ImageEn source code). Please email me at sales@xequte.com to join the beta.

Downloading and installing the ImageEn/FMX Beta
1. Go to: https://gitlab.com/Xequte/imageen-fmx
(If you get a 404 error, that means you have not added as a contributor, so you will need to email us for a login invitation).
2. On the RHS, near the too you will see a download button. Download as a zip and expand it to a folder
3. In Delphi, select Tools > Options
And browse to Language, Delphi Options, Library
To your "Library Path" add the folder from step 3.
4. Browse to the "Delphi10.3Rio" folder and open:
ImageEnLibsFmxGroup.groupproj
5. In the projects box, right-click ImageEnLibsFmxGroup and choose "Compile All"
6. Right-click ImageEnFmxDsgn26.bpl and choose "Install"
ImagenEn/FMX will now be installed and will not affect your ImageEn/VCL projects. You will find a selection of demos in the \Demos\ sub-folder.
Note: Only Windows is supported at this time. During the beta we'll be working on supporting other platforms.

Converting ImageEn/VCL demos to FireMonkey
To test ImageEn functionality you may want to convert ImageEn/VCL demos to Firemonkey:
1. Copy the folder of the desired ImageEn/VCL demo to the ImageEn/FMX demos folder
2. Use this converter to convert any .DFM files to .FMX
Download: http://www.imageen.com/files/other/VCLToFmxConvert.zip
(Source code: http://www.innovasolutions.com.au/delphistuf/ADUGVCLtoFMXConv.htm )
- Run the exe
- Click Open File and select a DFM file.
- Click Process,
- "Save FMX" and output to the same demo folder with the same unit name as before
3. Delete the DFM file and the DPROJ file
4. Open the DPR file in Delphi and open any units it contains
>> You will get many warning of missing components and parameters. Take note of anything important. Click Ignore for each of them
5. Replace any missing components with the FireMonkey equivalent (generally not needed)
6. Run the demo and fix any issues
If you convert a demo, please zip it up (without EXE) and email it to us. Or better, upload it to Git:
