People love using Albums in #NeoFinder8 to collect photos of a certain motif, for example.
The new version 8.4 makes it easier to add files to a specific "target album", by allowing you to select any Album as that target album, and adding all selected items to that Album with a single keystroke. (Command-Y)
Especially when you use a lot of places, the list will become really long, and it would be helpful to add some kind of filter or search.
NeoFinder 8.4 adds a Display Filter to the top of the list. You can chose which fields NeoFinder shall search for the name you type in. That can be either All fields, or just the content of the Country, State, City, or Location field.

Migration
This new feature allows you to migrate your LTO tape library from older tools like PreRoll Post or Yoyotta to Hedge Canister.
To accomplish that, first Import your existing PreRoll Post or Yoyotta catalogs into your NeoFinder LIBRARY.
Then use this Export function here to convert your NeoFinder catalogs into Hedge Canister library folders.
NeoFinder 8.4 expands the way that the unique Image ID is used for photos.
Like the new Label Menu search command in the Inspector, AppleScript support to read and write Image IDs, handling of overwriting existing Image ID or multiple values, and the way to show the Image ID in the List View, Icon View, and sort by it.
We have updated the NeoFinder Users Guide to reflect these massive changes already:
Starting with NeoFinder 8.4, any embedded XML data written by several ARRI camera types and software versions will be cataloged.
These can contain helpful textual stuff, like the scene, take, reel name, or the name of the cintematographer. NeoFinder will show an overview of that data in the Comment EXIF field for you, and of course search this as well.
The NeoFinder Users Guide shows you how that works, along with the other abilities that NeoFinder has when it comes to handling movie or video files.
Starting with NeoFinder 8.4, two capture frame rates (fps) are being cataloged. The regular playback fps, and also a second "Capture FPS", if that actually differs from the regular fps. That can happen for time lapse or slow motion recordings.
Currently, NeoFinder reads that value from MXF files created by multiple Sony cameras, but we are looking into adding this to other video file formats as well. If you use that, please contact us, so we can get sample files.
This value is displayed in the Inspector, along with the other video metadata.
The Inspector in #NeoFinder8 has a new label menu for the ID3 audio Composer field with options to quickly find all cataloged songs written by that composer in your NeoFinder LIBRARY and on Bandcamp.
Dragging one offline file into another application will now paste the thumbnail of that file from the NeoFinder Catalog into the destination document.
Previously, it was only possible to drop an online item into another Application, but now, NeoFinder will already provide the thumbnail for offline files...
In this example screenshot, we have dragged an offline photo from the NeoFinder Sample Catalog to a new document in Apples TextEdit.app (Microsoft Word or Apples Pages.app would have also worked!)
NeoFinder 8.4 has improved the Find Duplicates options by allowing you to search for file names ignoring their suffixes, which would consider files named "IMG_1234.NEF" to be identical to a file named "IMG_1234.JPG", for example.
