I know this has been asked before, but that is close to 2 years ago. Firemonkey has moved on and the early incarnation which did not look good, now looks considerably better.
Given some of the stuff that is available to do 3D modelling and rendering there is clearly a way of achieving high performance under some settings.
I was wondering whether you could give us any indication that ImageEn might support Firemonkey in the future.
The only project on which I use ImageEn really needs to move to Mac and Android too (targeting tablets rather than phones). If ImageEn will not support Firemonkey in the forseeable I may have to drop ImageEn (with regret). |

Hi David
We have been watching the development of FireMonkey with interest, and as it has improved we have certainly been considering when we should enter that market. However porting ImageEn to FireMonkey will be a huge job and with our hands full with our existing products, we are not yet ready to make the jump.

Hi Nigel, as you know, I have just upgraded to version 5.0.5 but I am also keen to make the move to MacOs/iOS/Android. In fact, I have already developed many applications with Firemonkey. As many people I find it extremely useful to have only one code base. I would definitely upgrade to IEVision as soon as I can use it on multiple platforms. Cheers Christoph

I am in the same boat. I use ImageEN a lot. A few simple programs I have, I got everything converted, but the ImageEN component. Just simply showing a picture is not enough, need the other features. 
Doing more in FMX and cross platform myself with XE5.. so far been getting decent results.
Since EMB seems to putting all their eggs into one basket on FMX, its seems for them this is a do or die type deal. If it fails in the "long run", Delphi is dead. |
