The View main menu now has the missing All thumbnails in this item command that was already available in the context menu for a while.

This will show you all items with a thumbnail, in the selected Catalog, or folder, and all subfolders inside it.

It will now even work for multiple selected catalogs, and also entire Catalog Folders!

Check it out!

Another exciting new feature in NeoFinder is the ability to catalog video chapter markers, including their name!

And yes, the powerful Find functions in NeoFinder will search these chapter names, too, of course.

The Contextual Menu for an Album Group in NeoFinder now has commands to create a new Album, or a new Album Group.

It's the little things!

You use Album Groups if you have a lot of Albums, and need to put them into groups.

Did you know that the Contextual Menu for an Album has the option to create a beautiful photo contact sheet from the contents of that Album? Very useful!

We keep expanding the AppleScript abilities of NeoFinder for improved automation, and NeoFinder 8.7 allows full read and write access the names of files and folders in Catalogs, and the name of Catalogs and Albums.


While that sounds a bit boring, it offers the unique ability to batch rename a lot of items with very specific text replacements.

Check out the sample scripts that NeoFinder installs for you in the AppleScript menu for ideas!

A lot of pro photographers are very clear about NOT wanting to ever write any metadata into the original RAW files.

But then there are those who don't like the separate XMP "sidecar" files this will create.

So NeoFinder now offers the new choice of writing Annotations, Ratings, Captions, and more directly INTO the Nikon NEF, Canon CR2, Hasselblad FFF, and even 3FR files.

If you want this. And only then!

NeoFinder 8.7 will not only read, but also write ratings, annotations, captions, and more to the special ".phos" metadata sidecar files created by the Hasselblad Phocus software, so that you can share your metadata both in NeoFinder and the Hasselblad software

We have massively improved the Details View in NeoFinder 8.7, with customizable fields and all, but you can now also change your Rating for the photo or video right there now!

Often, it is the little things. Like this:

In NeoFinder 8.7, cataloging very large PhaseOne EIP files is a lot faster now, especially when Updating an existing Catalog.

Also, it now shows the file name and resulting thumbnail in the progress window, so you know what NeoFinder is doing for you...

Did you know that you can search for photos taken at the same time (hour and minute), not just the same date, in NeoFinder? This uses the EXIF Capture Date.

Use the contextual menu for an existing photo for this!

Did you know that the contextual menu in NeoFinder has the option to open the integrated Wikipedia Inspector for you when you select an item with a GPS GeoTag?

That will show you interesting Wikipedia entries located near the GPS position of your photo or video.
