current version of abeMeda is 7.6, released on 22.9.22

Post by abemeda »

abeMeda 7.6 is a great new release with a number of important improvements and fixes especially for XMP editing. It brings editing refinements, new attributes (like Alternate Text or the Extended Description) and new options to the Inspector. Additional scheduling options for AutoUpdate, support for new metadata like Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM), and a number of other additions and improvements complete this package.

abeMeda 7.6 is a free update for all registered users of abeMeda 7. Users of older versions can acquire an update for a small fee: <http://www.abemeda.de/en/order.html>

Changes in this version :
* added the ability to schedule AutoUpdates for weekdays and/or weekends.
* for updates scheduled on an interval, you can now select whether to run them only on weekdays, or only on weekends, or both.
* added new fields XMPAltText and XMPExtendedDescription.
* improved editing and working with files via the Inspector
* editing controls in the inspector no longer grow bigger than the Inspector itself, let alone the screen, to ease editing
* they are also made fully visible when you choose to edit them directly.
* fixed an issue with input fields in the inspector that could show up too narrow, also adapted the heights of some XMP attributes and rearranged them
* added the annotation and the contact info fields to the multi item select inspector as well
* added new Inspector settings, where you can control some behaviour of the Inspector and its item editing.
* you can now choose to preserve the modification date when editing files. This will re-apply the previous modification date to your file(s) after writing your edits in XMP fields. And it also extends to GPS geotags.
* new switches for "show tooltips", and "show tooltips for input fields", in the inspector.
* the previously available choice to confirm multi-item edits is now also grouped in here.
* hiding Inspector sections is now more obvious and indicated. And when you choose to edit values on a hidden section, it gets shown automatically.
* added new columns: "catalog is readOnly", "catalog format", and grouped the catalogs' extra fields in their own new column group.
* added "find in catalog info" to the QuickFind * added code to read Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM), which we found e.g. in the breathtaking images of the James Webb Space Telescope (#JWST).
* the "catalog exists" dialog now shows if the existing catalog is readOnly, and reacts to that by no longer offering to update it.

* fixed an issue where RAW files would not yet catalog the EXIF capture date with the seconds included, like for the other formats.
* fixed a problem preventing embedded MP3 some coverArt from being correctly found and read.
* fixed an issue with finding "Path contains" which got broken in 7.5.
* fixed an issue where the inspector tooltip would show a wrong text for an attribute.
* fixed a rare issue where certain updates or conditions during saving a freshly created catalog could result in a corrupted catalog file or database.
* fixed an issue where an empty catalog name could cause problems. Made sure a catalog always gets a name.
* added fallbacks when high-resolution thumbnail generation could fail due to dwindling resources. abeMeda now tries lower resolution before giving
up and returning without thumbnail.
* and fixed and improved a number of other minor issues...

== NeoFinder for Macintosh: =====================================
If you have a Macintosh, you may also want to download NeoFinder 8 and see how both applications can share catalogs and work together :
