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
* Separate app for iOS (iPhone and iPad) is available
Pricing and Availability:
The price for new users starts at 29,00 (EUR). Multiple user packs are available for network users. Cross-grades for users of similar applications (Cinematica, DiskLibrary, FileFinder, CatFinder, Canto Cumulus, Disk Tracker, DiskCatalogMaker, Atomic View, iView Media Pro, Extensis Portfolio, and others) are available.

CogSci Apps releases version 1.3 of Hook productivity app for macOS

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

eXcelisys, Inc. releases the eX-BizTracker 6 - Published on 11/05/19
eXcelisys, Inc. releases eX-BizTracker 6, a new version of their popular flagship eX-File business productivity template. The eX-BizTracker 6 takes advantage of the latest innovations of the FileMaker 18 Platform. New features include QuickBooks integration, return merchandise authorization (RMA) aand the use of card windows to minimize overhead. Redesigned Screens & Layouts Make this Jump-start FileMaker(R) Template Easier and Faster than Ever to Modify for a Wider Variety of Business Needs.
South Bend, Indiana - eXcelisys, Inc. announces the release of the eX-BizTracker 6, a spiffed-up new version of eXcelisys' popular flagship eX-File business productivity template. The eX-BizTracker 6 is perfect for businesses seeking a feature-rich order and customer management app for the goods and services they sell and track.
With this latest release, eXcelisys developers busted their brains with countless hours of thoughtful tinkering to deliver a product that's more nimble. Redesigned screens and layouts mean modifications can be made more quickly and cost-effectively than ever! For eXample, if a user doesn't need a tab that's built into the template, it can be "turned off" and the panel automatically resizes, reducing development time! Likewise, display regions are more flexible to accommodate modifications.
"We took into account user behavior to shape the product so it meets the needs and matches the behavior of those who use it," said Doug West, eXcelisys VP for product development. "A lot of thought went into this even though visually it looks like no big deal. There's a lot happening behind the scenes that will save development time and money. We are positioning the tool to be much more adaptable to a wide variety of business needs."
The pride of the eX-Files ecosystem, the eX-BizTracker 6 takes advantage of the latest innovations to the FileMaker 18 Platform with new elements like the master-detail layout. Other new features include QuickBooks integration, return merchandise authorization (RMA) and the use of card windows to minimize overhead.
"We've spent a couple hundred hours building and refining the eX-BizTracker," said West. "When businesses use it as a jumping-off point for software development, they save a ton of time and money."
New Features in BT6:
* QuickBooks integration - The eX-BizTracker 6 offers native support for pushing customers, orders and bills into QuickBooks desktop products. Previously, this feature would add 15 to 20 hours of development time, but now, it's included!
* Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) - Handle returns in a systematic and timely matter with the eX-BizTracker's new RMA feature. Master-detail layout. Handy for products, contacts and invoices by allowing the user to view a "master" list of content in the UI, then "drill down" into the details of a particular record selected from the master.
* Card windows - This slick new user interface tool allows the creation of a "window in a window." Perfect for custom dialog boxes and showing eXpanded content without leaving the current view.
The Basics (What's Included in the eX-BizTracker):
Current modules include: CRM (could be individuals, companies or organizations); allows for multiple addresses and contact methods for each, plus activity logs, reminders and email; Orders (with barcoding and kitting, allowing for "bundled" products); Vendors; Inventory Management; POs/Bills; Products (goods, services and fees); Receiving; and Custom Reports (printed or eXportable PDFs for profit/loss, backorders, etc., with graph and chart options).
Benefits of Using the eX-BizTracker:
* Integration - Plays well with others like SalesForce, FedEx, PayPal, WooCommerce and WordPress to manage online ordering. Can be configured to eXchange information with Cloud solutions or SQL Servers.
* Customization. "The basic features are complete, allowing you to start much further down the road with development so you can add the specific workflows of your business," said eXcelisys Solutions Services Consultant Laura Vie.
* Reputation - The eX-BizTracker has been maturing since 2004 when eXcelisys created the original FileMaker(R) Business Tracker for FileMaker Inc. (now Claris International). A free, popular template, the FileMaker(R) Business Tracker had more than 250K downloads. Since then, eXcelisys has been improving the user eXperience and feature set with each new edition.

360Works MirrorSync 6 Released - FileMaker Synchronization Made Easy
A new article has been published at prMac.
360Works MirrorSync 6 Released - FileMaker Synchronization Made Easy - Published on 11/05/19
360Works today releases MirrorSync 6, an update to their easy-to-use FileMaker data replication tool. MirrorSync can quickly and seamlessly sync an offline database running on FileMaker Go or FileMaker Pro with a database hosted by FileMaker Server. It can sync various configurations of SQL databases, such as MySQL, Salesforce, Amazon DynamoDB or Redshift, and WordPress with FileMaker. This new version makes it easy to synchronize two FileMaker Servers to handle mission critical tasks.
Atlanta, Georgia - 360Works, a leading FileMaker product developer and innovator, is proud to announce the release of MirrorSync 6. The easy-to-use FileMaker data replication tool can quickly and seamlessly sync an offline database running on FileMaker Go or FileMaker Pro with a database hosted by FileMaker Server. It can sync various configurations of SQL databases, such as MySQL, Salesforce, Amazon DynamoDB or Redshift, and WordPress with FileMaker. This new version of MirrorSync also makes it very easy to synchronize two FileMaker Servers to handle mission critical tasks like server clustering for load balancing and data disaster recovery.
In this release, MirrorSync ships with many improvements for the synchronization setup and management process.
Jesse Barnum, President of 360Works, says "MirrorSync 6 is the most major change since version 3. One of the biggest features is that MirrorSync can now automatically detect all new fields and tables." In version 6, there is no need to re-configure or re-paste script steps when you have solution changes (for client-to-server sync, as well as server-to-server).
Overall, the MirrorSync configuration client and sync management has been greatly improved. Creating and editing configurations is much faster, especially for many tables. Sync status updates are more responsive, and configuration changes can be made without canceling active syncs. New fields and layouts are automatically detected and added to the sync. Auto-detection of primary keys, creation / modification timestamps, and writebacks has been greatly improved. In addition, the configuration client no longers requires Java to be pre-installed, and is signed and notarized for compatibility with the latest versions of Mac OS X without annoying security pop-ups.
Automatic File Transfers Between Servers:
When setting up a server-to-server sync for the first time, you no longer need to manually download, copy, and upload the databases between the servers. Just install MirrorSync 6 on both servers and click the 'sync now' button. MirrorSync will transfer the files (even for multi-file solutions) and run the initial sync.
Automatic Version Update Between Servers:
If you've used MirrorSync 4 or 5, you're familiar with the automatic update feature, which automatically sends database updates to users in the field. MirrorSync 6 now uses the same approach for server-to-server syncs. Just modify a single calculation field, and MirrorSync will replace the database on the spoke server with a new version after the next successful sync. You can even schedule this feature, so that it runs overnight without disrupting connected users.
MirrorSync 6 Makes Syncs Safer:
Deletion scanning now runs two separate checks to ensure a record has been deleted before deleting on the other side of the sync. Checks have been added to make sure that no client record exists in the MirrorSync table before downloading a copy for the spoke to sync. Recover mode is now more discerning about which records to re-write after a previous failed sync which helps to prevent situations where recovery could cause a large number of records to be modified. Lastly, there have been multithreading improvements for storing and accessing the internal sync database for better reliability.
Robust Enough for the Largest of Files:
For users with large databases, MirrorSync now utilizes streaming when reading from FileMaker Server and Pro/Go. This allows fetching data of unlimited size, while reducing RAM requirements.
A common problem in previous versions of MirrorSync was a limit on the number of tables. When the table count approached 60 tables, the MirrorSync script would often hit the limit on script size in FileMaker. This issue is now solved: MirrorSync 6 can sync any number of tables. We've successfully tested MirrorSync 6 with a server-to-server sync for a multi-file solution containing 26 files, 127 tables, and over 30 million records.
MirrorSync now supports custom location for temp files. This is particularly important when using the database download feature with very large databases; you can now store these temporary copies on an external volume with more free space than the boot drive.
Easy Migration:
After upgrading your existing MirrorSync 4 or 5 installation, existing offline databases in the field will continue to be able to sync with the new MirrorSync 6 server. You can utilize MirrorSync's automatic version update feature to update these users to the latest version after completing a sync with their older version.
Notable Features in MirrorSync 6:
* Automated deployment and version management for server-to-server syncs * Now uses the Data API (instead of XML or xDBC)
* All new MirrorSync script, re-written to support new features in FileMaker 17 and later
* Unlimited tables
* Leverages new FileMaker features for much faster container field syncs
* Configuration client is now a standalone application that does not require Java to be installed
* Added support for Get( UUIDNumber ) primary keys
* Added support for the iPod touch (which is a great and inexpensive option for offline data collection)
System Requirements:
* Java is no longer required to be pre-installed for the installer, web application, or configuration client.
* FileMaker Pro, Go, and Server 17 or later is now required. Certain multithreading speed improvements will only apply when running Server 18v3 or later.
Pricing and Availability:
MirrorSync 6 is available now. You can download the software instantly from mirrorsync.com and start syncing with the new improvements. MirrorSync is free for 1 FileMaker Pro/Go device, with additional devices priced at $8-$95 per device depending on quantity. This price is for a single FileMaker solution, with addition solutions priced at $200/each, and server-to-server syncs priced at $1,600 - $2,000 depending on the types of databases. All prices are one-time costs, not annual. Complete pricing is available at mirrorsync.com
Active maintenance subscribers for MirrorSync or the 360Works Portfolio Bundle will receive the new major version 6 at no additional cost. All purchases within the last 12 months are still under active maintenance.
We are also pleased to announce that we offer hosting services for MirrorSync for the low price of $29 per month. This is included free of charge for customers hosting FileMaker Server with us. Contact us to find out more and get started.
