NeoFinder 7.5 - Annotations for Photos and Videos - Published on 11/06/19

Norbert M. Doerner today released NeoFinder 7.5, an update to the disk cataloging software for macOS. NeoFinder 7.5 allows users to freely define and edit additional annotation fields for photos and film files. The Icon View can be instructed to show up to three of these additional fields or other metadata. The software is certified for macOS 10.15 and notarized by Apple. The search for faces and the improved navigation makes it easier to edit metadata efficiently for large amounts of data.

Bonn, Germany - Norbert M. Doerner today released NeoFinder 7.5, an important update to the disk cataloging software for macOS. The new version of NeoFinder allows users to freely define and edit additional annotation fields for photos and film files. The Icon View can be instructed to show up to three of these additional fields or other metadata.

The software is certified for macOS 10.15 and "notarized" by Apple. The search for faces and the improved navigation to the previous or next file directly in the Inspector makes it easier to edit metadata efficiently for large amounts of data. New AutoUpdater options allow catalogs to be updated at program startup, when a volume is mounted, or on specific weekdays.
The new version is free for NeoFinder 7.x customers.

Annotations for photos and videos

In addition to the normal metadata fields, users can define and edit their own custom annotation fields in the Inspector. This data is stored in the XMP standard, with NeoFinder using the Phase One MediaPro compatible format. This data can also be cataloged from existing files, or imported from iView XML import files. The Icon View displays up to three of these fields, in addition to other metadata the user wants to see.

Ready for macOS 10.15:
NeoFinder 7.5 is not only "notarized", but also supports the new folder protection cages introduced in macOS 10.15, and can better catalog the newly separated system partition. All functions were checked in macOS 10.15, and if necessary corrected or improved.

Find Faces:
To support very large image archives, NeoFinder can search for faces, and mark the found areas in images in the Inspector. In conjunction with the XMP person metadata, users can manually tag the found images with faces with the appropriate person names.

AutoUpdater:
In addition to the scheduled update of catalogs (with the NeoFinder Business license), catalogs can now be updated automatically when NeoFinder starts, or when the corresponding volume is mounted. In addition, you can decide for each day of the week whether the update should take place or not.

If you are interested in this amazing new technology, we can provide you a review license for NeoFinder Mac, and even a license code for NeoFinder iOS. And we are of course here for any questions you may have.

* New licenses start at 29 Euros for a NeoFinder Private License

NeoFinder Highlights:
* Cataloging - NeoFinder catalogs metadata of songs, movies, fonts, and photos, including the MP3-Tags of several audio file formats, EXIF, GPS, and IPTC data of photos. NeoFinder also edits Adobe XMP data, including keywords, persons, and ratings. All these are arranged clearly in the user interface, and can be extensively searched. For numerous photo and video formats, fonts, text files, and even audio files, NeoFinder generates thumbnails during cataloging, displaying them in all list and icon views.

* Managing Metadata - The built-in XMP metadata editor with presets can edit and add keywords, ratings, persons, descriptions, copyright information, and more to photos and videos.

* Networking - Store your catalog database on a server for access from all Macs in the network, and with the sidekick product abeMeda (was CDWinder for Windows) even from Microsoft Windows.

* Mobile - Keep your NeoFinder database with you on your iPhone or iPad with the separate NeoFinder for iOS app.

* Integration - Offering a tight connection to major productivity tools, such as Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, Roxio Toast, FileMaker Pro, Apples Spotlight and Finder, and the extensive support of drag&drop into other applications, NeoFinder can support many workflow scenarios. The AppleScript support in NeoFinder allows custom integrations of all kinds.

* Geotagging - Only NeoFinder offers the integrated GeoFinder, which searches for photos taken near a spot, or the KMZ export for coordinates and photo thumbnails as a way to give geolocated photos to friends. NeoFinder can even geotag photos itself, no other software needed. And only NeoFinder displays important facts about any geolocation in the truly unique Wikipedia Inspector.

Since the initial release of CDFinder 1.0 in 1996, more than 94,000 customers in 102 countries around the world are using CDFinder and now NeoFinder to organize their digital library, and manage their data archive and backups, including NASA, IKEA, BBC, Mattel, Rand McNally, Pfizer, Random House, Oracle, and Warner Bros.

Language Support:
* German, English, French, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X v10.8 - macOS 10.15
* Previous CDFinder and NeoFinder versions for older Mac OS versions are still available

CogSci Apps releases version 1.3 of Hook productivity app for macOS

A new article has been published at prMac.

CogSci Apps releases version 1.3 of Hook productivity app for macOS - Published on 11/06/19

Canadian indie development team, CogSci Apps Corp., today announces a major upgrade to their Hook productivity app for macOS. Hook enables users to instantly re-access the information needed to get the job done right, now. Hook 1.3 sports a minimalist, highly intuitive user interface. Users can now navigate pertinent, linked information directly in Hook. Hook's commands are now organized in three elegant menus with intuitive keyboard shortcuts. Hook links your digital life.

Metro - Vancouver. Canada - Independent development team, CogSci Apps Corp is today delighted to announce the release and immediate availability of Hook 1.3, a major upgrade to the handy CogSci Apps(R) invention for macOS. Hook's simple interface but powerful features have made it a must-have app for people who take productivity seriously. Hook is designed to help people work smarter, more efficiently, and more intuitively. It applies a key insight about cognitive productivity: deep work requires rapidly re-accessing pertinent information without searching. Hook's fast and efficient recall of task-related information allows users to stay in flow as they instantly access critical but scattered information.

Hook is an elegant, minimalist app that enables Mac users to link manifold information resources together - including web pages, files, documents, images, emails, contacts, tasks, notes, and much more. To see a document's related links and resources, the user simply needs to activate a keyboard shortcut or click a button. This saves users hours of possibly futile searching for information scattered on the web, in folders and in disparate apps. Hook is a crucial app for busy professionals who need to quickly access information with macOS.

The version released today, Hook 1.3, sports a user interface that is even clearer and more intuitive.
1. Hook's minimalist interface is now maximally compact
2. commands are now intuitively organized in the new Title bar menu and Link menus; and
3. links can now be navigated without leaving the Hook window

Hook intuitively supports your cognitive productivity, whether you use its keyboard shortcuts, popup window, or menu bar icon.

The benefits of linking brought to the desktop: "Users tacitly appreciate the revolutionary benefits of web links" shares CogSci Apps co-founder Luc P. Beaudoin. "However, before Hook, people were not able to link and navigate the information that matters most to their productivity: documents they are writing; documents they've received or downloaded into the Finder; files in the cloud, version control systems, and personal information managers; their emails, projects, actions and more. Without such links users could not, in a timely manner, consult the information they needed to get their work done right and fast. With Hook, users can link and access just about any key information, across apps. That changes everything."

Beaudoin specifies, "Hook does not replace your favorite apps, it makes them much more useful: Hook links their data so that you can use them together." For example, while writing in their favorite editor or word processor, users can invoke Hook, and click on a link to a related email, PDF or task list. Hook links are bidirectional, so users can quickly navigate back to the document. This means they can write better and faster. That's cognitive productivity. We all know how useful links are on the web" says Beaudoin. "Imagine how useful it is to access, at the click of a link, the information you need right now, even if it is in an app or a file on your Mac."

Collaborate productively: "Hook is not just for solo work" adds Beaudoin. "Hook is also a collaborative tool. With Hook, users can copy links to emails, shared files and of course web pages. They can then send the links." The recipient clicks on the link and the shared file is revealed on their desktop. "Obviously, recipients are much more likely to act on a prior email or document if they can instantly access it. Both colleagues win."

Elegant, minimalist, easy to use:
Hook provides a very simple, uniform gesture ("Copy Link") for obtaining the address of resources, whether they're in the Finder, the cloud, the web or an app. Users can paste links just about anywhere, including in the Hook window itself.

In a nutshell:
Hook enables users to instantly re-access the information they need to get the job done right, now. "Hook links your digital life."

System Requirements:
* macOS 10.12.6 or Higher
* macOS 10.15 Catalina Compatible
* 8.2 MB

## Pricing and Availability:
Hook Essentials is $14.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies). Hook Pro is priced at $19.99 USD until Nov 19, after which the price increases to $24.99. Hook Pro has all the features of Hook Essentials, but also enables users to generate Markdown links, make Hook files, edit integration scripts, generate search links, and install and use Hook on more Macs. Both versions include software updates for one year and are available worldwide exclusively at the Hook website. A 30-day Pro trial is available. Subsequent one-year software updates will be available at a discount of the original purchase price. See the Hook Productivity website for details.
