I have 6 simple basic needs : -
1 Auto folder 'watching' and FAST detection and scanning.
2 High quality thumbnails and media view.
3 Explorer browsing
4 Tagging Labeling or 'Categories' to be auto-written to IPTC (thus visible to other apps)
5 Single or Batch edit of IPTC (captions and Keywords) with automatic writing to the file.
6 Fast search engine an any or all fields (including IPTC and pathname)
FotoAlbum - Doesnt search pathnames. Doesnt 'watch' and add new stuff to albums. Otherwise brilliant.
Picasa - Doesnt browse folders. No categories options. Wont update keywords added by other apps after Picasa has 'claimed' ownership.
Picajet - Poor thumbnail quality. Slow to scan. Wont 'watch' for new stuff on the fly (only on startup). Otherwise brilliant.
IMatch - Big and clunky. The lights in my house dim when I right-click on anything!
Portfolio - ditto
IView Media Pro - Brilliant but SLOW. No auto-folder watching / updating. Doesnt automatically write keywords and captions to the files.
In conclusion. There is no application (yet) which does all these things. The first one to crack it will be a HUGE success . .
regardless of whether they are free or $39. If anyone knows of an app that does these things PLEASE tell me.
Picajet and Picasa come closest. |
