One of the exciting new features in #NeoFinder 8.3 is QuickEdit. You can rapidly copy and paste metadata of all sorts between files, with just one mouse click.

The NeoFinder Users Guide shows how that works:

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/17/17.10/quickedit.html

#Apple #macOS #RAW #Catalog #Olympus #Canon #Nikon #Fuji #DigitalAssetManager #Photography #Photographer #PhotoLibrary #PhotographySoftware #PhotographyWorkflow #Photosoftware #IndieDev #DAM #MediaPro #iView #Software #Archive

Edit the text based EXIF fields of your photos and videos directly inside of NeoFinder.

The NeoFinder Users Guide has more and explains how that works.

NeoFinder 8.3 adds two beautiful new Web Gallery Templates, animated, adaptive, customizable, and all.

Which one do you like better?

Green Fluid:



Or Blue Cards?

We have started to expand the #NeoFinder Users Guide with the first AppleScript examples. More will come in the next days.
Let us start with the list of currently selected files in #NeoFinder8:

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/9/9.6/sel ... cript.html

#NeoFinder8 catalogs and shows you the "beats per minute" BPM value embedded in ID3 tags of songs!

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/15/neofinder_music.html


#NeoFinder8 #macOS #Catalog #mp3 #AAC #AIFF #FLAC #DigitalAssetManager #MusicLibrary #AudioProducer #MusicStudio #Apple #IndieDev #DAM #DiskLibrary #DiskTracker #MediaPro #iView #Software #PostProduction #Archives

You want to copy data from the selected items in #NeoFinder8 to a #spreadsheet in Microsoft #Excel or Apples "Numbers.app"?

With the new #AppleScript integration, you can create you own custom report and copy it to the clipboard.

A new example in the NeoFinder Users Guide shows you how this can be done and customized to your needs:

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/9/9.6/sel ... cript.html

Sometimes, it's the small things.

#NeoFinder8 can now use #GPS coordinates copied from #Microsoft #Bing #Maps

These have a different format than #Google Maps.

Paste them in NeoFinder to set the GPS GeoTag to that coordinate.

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/20/20.2/add_geotags.html

What if you wish to copy the XMP Creation Date value to the EXIF Capture Date field?

#AppleScript can do that for you with #NeoFinder8!

The extensive NeoFinder Users Guide has a brand new AppleScript sample that shows you how to move metadata from one field to another.

In this case, the XMP creation date to the EXIF capture date field.

Check it out!

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/9/9.6/sel ... cript.html

#NeoFinder8 offers new dedicated delete commands in the main menu to: Remove items from an Album, the Found Items, or from the #Catalog and the physical volume.

That makes it easier to decide what exactly you want to do, and not take any chances.

So many people had asked for it, and #NeoFinder8 can now catalog thumbnails and metadata of Canon CRM video files.

These high quality RAW video recordings are used by many people now, and we are happy that NeoFinder is there for you.

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/22/neofin ... ideos.html

NeoFinder 8.3 now has the standard "macOS AutoTags Engine" bundled!
No need to manually download it for AI based tagging with #NeoFinder

That is basically the same engine that "Apple Photos.app" uses for its search.

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/30/auto_keywords.html

Rotate Videos!

You can now rotate video files in MOV and MP4 format in 90° increments in NeoFinder!

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/22/22.9/v ... erter.html

Three new search parameters in the #NeoFinder8 Find Editor allow you to specifically search for EXIF software, EXIF comment, and the EXIF "unique photo ID"

Enjoy!

#NeoFinder8 now copies all your custom annotations along with the other XMP metadata fields, if you use the "Copy XMP Metadata" and "Paste XMP Metadata" commands in the contextual menu or the main menu.

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/13/13.5/n ... ields.html

It's the little things!

#NeoFinder8 now remembers what items in Albums you had selected when you quit the program.

The next time you launch #NeoFinder, that selected Album will be shown, and the selected items in it selected for you again.

And of course, that also works for selected Catalogs, and the items you hade selected in these as well.
