You want some holiday fun with #NeoFinder?
At what location was this photo taken?
https://www.cdfinder.de/news.html#NeoFinder.8.9
Tell us the name of the place, or the village nearby, or the GPS coordinates (maybe within a 500 meter range)
I am very curious if anyone has been there before! :-)
We will be back for you here next Tuesday, after the Easter holidays!
The integrated Audio Converter in #NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS can now be invoked using the powerful #AppleScript automation tools!
You can even set up the conversion parameters per script, as you need them.
That makes it a lot easier to integrate the converter into complex workflows of any kind.

My personal favorite in #NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS is the new integration for #Mastodon and #Pixelfed to search for hashtags / keywords.
Check it out!

#NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS is now able to read embedded lyrics of OGG #audio files when cataloging them!
They will be displayed in the Inspector, and of course can be searched.

#NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS 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!

Another new feature in #NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS is the ability to catalog the rather interesting "BlackMagic Cam for iOS" metadata for .mp4 video files, like ISO, lens name, and Aperture!

"Our parent company uses Iconik as their media management software which didn’t fit our flexibility requirements with it being cloud based and a bit less configurable compared to #NeoFinder. "
Very interesting and flattering feedback from a video producer from the #Highlands in #Scotland!
#NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS 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. So you can keep control over your entire #music collection.
Another relatively new photo format gaining traction these days is webp, originally developed by Google.
#NeoFinder 8.9 can now natively read and process webp files just like HEIC or JPEG!

#NeoFinder 8.9 is now able to catalog JPEG XL photo files (".jxl") and their metadata (requires macOS 14 or newer).

Wonderful #NeoFinder praise:
"Firstly again, love this product, it changed my life, before this I was working on a half written and never updates excel and memory, now I can find it all quickly!"

Q: Is there a way to find for photos that don't have Location name in #NeoFinder?
A: Yes, two ways, actually!
#NeoFinder 8.8 for #macOS now enables users to write Album memberships into media files through the contextual menu of an Album or a file.
The NeoFinder Users Guide has been updated with all details:

Error messages? Not so much fun, but important nonetheless.
So. If you try to generate a video contact sheet of a file format or codec that #NeoFinder 8.8 currently doesn't support, you will now get a proper error message.

Writing metadata into HEIC files created by iOS 18.x on Apple iPhone PRO and MAX models is much faster now with #NeoFinder 8.8.
This was quite tricky, as Apple writes some very strange XMP metadata into these files, but only on these iPhone models.

"I have to say NeoFinder has changed my career! Such a useful app."
Wonderful #NeoFinder praise from an architecture photographer from Australia.
Sony video cameras write very interesting special metadata into MXF video files, but unfortunately, their latest firmware update has changed the specific tag they are using.
#NeoFinder 8.8 now reads that data from both locations. Enjoy!
