ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Photo viewer GPS Data
« on: 2011-10-10 12:50:55 »
> I need a Software (Photo viewer Database) which can read GPS data from Photo!

ThumbsPlus 8 can do this for you. If GPS data is embedded in the photo file, it will show
in the metadata panel:

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / trial download
« on: 2011-09-13 08:59:14 »
Tim,

The trial version always the Pro version, there is no way to test the Standard version. Here is an overview of the difference between Pro and Std:

Hope that helps.

> How do I get my "selected files only" "current tree" etc options?

These options are no longer available in v8. You need to export the DB, then simply edit them in a text editor.

Greg, pollyanna, WarnerYoung,

It's in the works, with a very high priority, seriously. But it's also a very complex issue - and messy in many other apps (they just hide their mess better). I'll try to convince Phillip Crews (main developer) to put this on the fast track.

File type associations are stored in the configuration file Thumbs8.typ, which can be found in the folder that stores your preferences (depending on the setup you selected during installation); in my case it's C:\Users\hfremuth\AppData\Roaming\ThumbsPlus.

The easiest way is to preserve your customizations is to create a separate file with it and then copy them back in again when you re-install ThumbsPlus.

Applies to
ThumbsPlus 8 SP1 Build 3535 and later

Problem
[img=right]images/uploaded/201107071113424e1594e670285.jpg[/img]After pressing the the 'Clear' or 'Clear All' button, the list of recently used files still shows in the menue ('File -> View Recent...'), even when ThumbsPlus is restarted.

Solution (pending)
Needs to be fixed in a future release.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Recent Files not disappearing

Thanks for reporting this, I can see the same behavior on my system here. This is a bug that needs to be fixed in a future release.

Glad that you reported this. I experienced the same, but wasn't sure it's only me. I moved this thread into [link=http://forums.cerious.com/forum/index.php?mode=index&category=4]Confirmed Issues[/link].

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Finding Similar Images
« on: 2011-06-27 09:40:36 »
> Is there a way to select all duplicates or tag all duplicates so I can delete/move them?

AS far as I know, there is none, for good reason. The function finds all similar images, not just identical ones. Trouble is, ThumbsPlus simply can't determine which one is the original. Computers are still stupid...

The best / fastest way is to to tag them via the INSERT key (or the tag icon); ThumbsPlus rounds them all up in a special gallery called Tagged Images. It will still take you some time cleaning out 5,000 images. But at least you have done it yourself, and not a non-thinking computer algorithm...

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Batch process for User Field
« on: 2011-06-21 09:10:34 »
[img=left]images/uploaded/201106211309384e009812903aa.jpg[/img]You can have it automatically populated via an existing metadata tag (set via F9, tab Metadata). Metadata tags (embedded in the file) can be batch processed via the metadata editor. For this, the user field must have exactly the same name as the metadata tag.

In a future release of v8, the user fields displayed in the info panel may also allow multiselect edit (which means you select several thumbnails and then edit a user field for all files in a single operation). Not sure if this is in the plans at the moment.

ThumbsPlus Suggestions / Info panel suggestions
« on: 2011-06-21 09:02:08 »
> ...so I hope some kind of widescreen-friendly improvements can be added.

This is one of the bigger changes between v7 and v8 already:

In v7, the left 25% had an area filled with folders, preview, info and task panel; the 75% on the right were filled with the Thumbnail panel:


In v8, there is now also an area to the right of the Thumbnail panel, which is best filled with the metadata and / or the preview:


Nevertheless, all the panels have potential to be improved and there are a number of ideas for a revised folders panel, an enhanced info panel and possibly even a new keyword panel. Stay tuned for that  ;-)

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / So, where to from here...?!
« on: 2011-06-21 08:41:24 »
> Thanks - I will try that as I've heard nothing back from Philip who I thought was going to contact me perhaps with the script I could have worked on.  :-(

I gave him the info you mailed me and will remind him about it. It may still be in the stack of items that are in the to-do list....

General Discussion / Strip your images, Not yourself
« on: 2011-06-20 23:25:36 »
I published the blog post [link=http://www.knowyourfiles.com/?p=529]Strip your images, Not yourself[/link] today. This is not strictly about ThumbsPlus, but nevertheless informative for anyone who wants to make sure that photos passed to others are clean of any unwanted metadata.
It includes a link to a handy, dandy little Freeware application called [link=http://www.metabilitysoftware.com/products/filemind-quickfix.html]FileMind QuickFix[/link] that scrubs metadata from JPG files.

There is some information in the help file (F1) that gets you started, just search for 'Python' there. v8 currently uses Python 2.7.1, with a number of scripts that can be viewed. Due to its small audience, the python functionality in v8 is not extensively documented. Take a look at the ThumbsPlus\Python\Lib\Thumb\ folder and review the existing scripts and comments.

Needless to say, this functionality (at least at this time) is intended for users who have an advanced level of knowledge about of software programming.

ThumbsPlus Suggestions / Info panel suggestions

The Info panel is new in v8, and it is currently reworked quite a bit. Not sure about the multi-column presentation at this point in time (pretty complex), but there are a number of improvements in the pipeline...
