Catalog JPEG XL!

Post by neo-admin »

NeoFinder 8.9 is now able to catalog JPEG XL photo files (".jxl") and their metadata (requires macOS 14 or newer on the Mac that creates the Catalog).

JPEG XL is a very powerful photo format that allows substantially better compression than JPG, and is most of all a completely royalty-free and open standard. It allows for transparency (alpha channel), even lossless encoding, if required.

Catalog .webp files with NeoFinder 8.9!

Post by neo-admin »

Another relatively new photo format gaining traction these days is webp, originally developed by Google.

NeoFinder has been able to read thumbnails of these files, using QuickLook, for a while already, but in macOS 14 and newer, NeoFinder 8.9 can now natively read and process webp files just like HEIC or JPEG.

Post by neo-admin »

NeoFinder 8.9 is now able to catalog WMA audio files for you, including the embedded ID3 tags, lyrics, and cover art!

And of course, NeoFinder already also reads MP3, AAC, m4a, AIFF, WAVE, BWF, FLAC, CAF, OGG, AMR and even Sony DSF and SDS files. And the old Sound Designer 2 songs. So you can keep control over your entire music collection.

Manually sort your slideshow!

Post by neo-admin »

NeoFinder 8.9 offers a new option when sorting items for the integrated slideshow, and that is "Manually".

You use that for Albums which can also have a manual sort order, so you can decide the exact order in which the photos are being presented.
