About AGS Geotech Toolkit

WHAT'S NEW IN 2.6.0 - Merge AGS files, combine as many files as you want into the open one. Matching groups are joined, new groups are added, and exact duplicate rows are skipped - Merge conflict review, flags different PROJ details, UNIT/TYPE mismatches, extra columns and rows with the same key, so you choose before anything changes - "Merge all remaining" applies your choices to the rest of the batch and only stops when a file raises something new. The whole merge is one Ctrl+Z - Double-click a cell to edit with the cursor where you clicked, and click inside an open cell to move the cursor - Group filter and column finder now sit side by side in the toolbar, clearly labelled - New validation checks for AGS Rules 13-18 (PROJ/TRAN row counts, and undeclared UNIT, TYPE, ABBR and DICT entries) - Perf + bug fixes WHAT'S NEW IN 2.5.0 - Selective export, can now drop tables from any export format via a picker - Column reorder by drag-and-drop on headers (edit mode) - Column-finder in the toolbar, typeahead by heading name, jumps to the column - Perf + bug fixes WHAT'S NEW IN 2.4.1 - Added a warning banner on welcome screen, extension popup and in the viewer itself when access to file url hasn't been given.

View-only, doesn't touch the data. - Bug fixes. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.3.1 - Fixed silent failure when opening files via the popup. - Stopped hijacking .ags drops on sites with their own uploads. - Tidied a couple of toolbar / welcome page rough edges. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.3.0 - Multi-column sort modal: priority + asc/desc per criterion. Raw view and table view stay coupled so the order flips in both at once. - FK cascade prompt: editing a parent key value now asks before silently orphaning the child rows pointing at it. - Dark mode added as an in app option not just browser / system controlled. - Side panel added to Raw Mode view, with a variety of features including: jump to, cursor stats (stats of current table and row selected); group statistics; foreign key hierarchies and links associated with selected table and bookmarking. - Performance improvements in both Table and Raw mode views. - Bug fixes WHAT'S NEW IN v2.2.0 - Table editor: drag-select cells, keyboard navigation, copy/paste with Excel fill rules, header-click sort. - Type to edit (Excel-style) — selected cell + any printable key starts editing. - Bulk edit: fill / find+replace / increment / UPPER/lower/trim/clear, with field picker + All / Visible / Pick rows scopes. - PA columns now show an ABBR-driven dropdown when editing. - Type validation: soft warnings for numeric / YN / DT / PA mismatches, plus an optional "reject invalid edits" toggle. - Raw view: per-cell wavy underline (was line-wide), line numbers in tooltips, outline panel shows per-group issue flags. - Validation pane → raw view jumps actually scroll now (and flash where you land). - Drag and drop big AGS files (50MB+) without hitting Chrome's storage cap. - Faster typing and pasting on large files. - DICT no longer reports legitimate field rows as duplicates.
