Not linked

Not linked to photos, doesn’t allow view and edit of metadata provided in Photos app.

Consistent and reliable

This is my go to tool for years to edit the metadata on cartoons I publish.

It doesn’t try to be slick and distracting. It just makes sure it works and I appreciate that.

EXIF presets (templates) don’t seem to work.

When I’m shooting I have to caption my photos using IPTC standards. Much of that is repetitive, the same information over and over. This isn’t saving that information to the preset (a template, basically), it’s only saving a couple of fields. It could have been exactly what I’ve been waiting for but it’s coming up very short.

“Was” My Go-To

Been using for sometime and suddenly two months will not save. Disappointed.

Good but can be improved

What I miss is being able to search on meta data. For example finding all pictures within a date range or certain location.

Since I have a lot of old imported pictures in my iCloud I would like to find all pictures that have empty fields in date and/or location to be able to add data to the pictures.

Another way to add that functionality would be to go from apple’s pictures app and be able to multi edit a selection of pictures.

Please add either so I can add metadata to my old imported pictures.
(I have way too many to just scroll and look for them)
