PhotoInfoEditor – new features and bug fixes
Well, earlier today (2 April 2007) a new version PhotoInfoEditor was released (download). So, what is new?
Added drag and drop support:
- this feature was requested by a surprising number of users. Photo files (any of the supported photo formats (ps, epsi, epsf, epi, eps, iff, xbm, hdr, exr, cr2, dcr, dng, srf, nef, crw, raf, orf, mrw, icns, jpg, jpeg, cur, fax, tif, tiff, jpe, and pef [please note, not all have been tested due to a lack of available photos in the correct formats]), can now be dragged on to the program icon, or into the window, to be loaded in to the program
Added ‘completion’ indicator:
- as you complete the geocoding process the indicator shows the amount done. A white ball, no data assigned; one-quarter green, description or summary completed; half green, latitude and longitude added (plus city and country – added automatically), or summary and description completed; three-quarters green, latitude and longitude added (plus city and country – added automatically), plus summary or description completed; fully green, all data added. It should be noted that you do not have to add all data for the photo to be available for export.
Added improved sorting function:
- Photos can now be sorted by name, date taken and ‘degree’ of added meta-data
In addition to the above major changes support was added for PEF files, the latest version of the excellent exiftool was incorporated, the ability to import photos from multiple directories can was added, ‘double-click’ zooming for the map (control-double-click to zoom out) and support for TrialPay was added (visit the PhotoInfoEditor Store at TrialPay – more info on TrialPay)
Besides the new features a number of bugs were fixed:
- Dealt with a number of user-interface inconsistencies reported by users
- Resolved a bug that was causing Google Maps not to display correctly
- Tracked down a really nasty and sneaky memory leak
