shootShifter helps to redate and rename complete folders of images based on the EXIF data or Finder dates. With the preview timeline its quite easy to synchronize several folders that were taken with differing camera dates.
What's New
Version 3.0b1:
- [new] huge clean-up in the innards to make the app (presumably) App Store ready: shootShifter now requires Mac OS X.7 Lion (and probably the App Store with the full release)
- [new] the EXIF-digitized-date is now fully supported. i.e. its possible to independently configure the way this date is changed. *!* if you customized the date-changes in the past please verify with the new options *!*
- [new] added information-popover for the currently selected photo (cmd+i). it mainly displays all the different type of dates and how they will be changed on "save"
- [new] added a full-screen photo-preview and slideshow (cmd+f, space or doubleclicking central preview). you can navigate the photos with the toolbar or cursor-left/right. (doubleclicking any preview to open the image in Preview.app is gone, now)
- [new] added a 100%-loupe ... the pixelPeeper :-) you can toggle this with cmd+l (or toolbar-button / escape) in the full-screen-preview. its resizable with scrolling up/down or the magnifying gesture. holding cmd only moves the crosshair.
- [hidden] added two unsupported shortcuts to get a complete "quick slideshow solution" for my usage : hold cmd+shift during import to turn off thumbnail-creation AND date-parsing for a slideshow-only express-import (much quicker at least for some images), and cmd-r in slideshow-mode to toggle random-play, with added cursor-up/down "non-random peek".
- [new] added option to move the currently selected file(s) to trash (cmd+backspace), so its possible to quickly get rid of the disappointing photos identified with the new preview-tools
- [new] overhauled undo-support: its now possible to undo all unsaved changes, not just the latest changes in the currently selected folder
- [new] added (pref-)option to enable the import of individual files. this adds their respective parent folder as a "partial folder"
- [new] added (pref-)option to enable the import of movies: This is NOT complete movie-support however: i.e. you can rename them and change the filesystem-dates or RIFF-dates (e.g. some .AVIs), but a possible timestamp for EACH frame (e.g. some AVCHDs) stays unchanged.
- [new] added option to copy and paste dates. pasting a date automatically opens the thumb-datepicker and prefills it with the new date, so further adjustments are quickly possible
- [new] added option to mark photos (cmd+1 - cmd+5) and quickly jump back to these markers (1-5), so a much quicker "rearrange-thumbs-workflow" is possible
- [new] photos with unsaved changes in "Adjust seperately"-mode, with import-changes or with a possible save/rename-error are now highlighted with a little dot beneath their thumb. its possible to quickly navigate to these highlighted photos with alt+cursor-up/down.
- [new] added option in "Adjust seperately"-mode to remove datechanges again from a photo-(multi-)selection
- [new] enabled lion-fullscreen-mode. hugely optimized the UI in the process (e.g. improved resizing-behaviour, larger UI, increased thumb-max-size etc.)
- [workflow] added folder-selection-shortcuts: double-clicking (or pressing return on) a thumbnail of an unselected folder selects this folder. double-clicking a folder selects its first photo and scrolls it in sight.
- [workflow] navigating the timelineView with home-, end- pageUp- and pageDown-keys is now possible
- [workflow] moved the "Preview-Type"-selection from the Preferences to the "View"-menu (its now possible to quickly change this with alt+cmd+1 - alt+cmd+3)
- [new] added option to override the general "Preview-Type" with camera/filetype-specific settings. so to optimize preview-performance its e.g. possible to have all your Olympus-RAW files use their EXIF-previews while for the iPhone-photos (where EXIF-previews are quite small) these are instantly regenerated.
- [new] added option to also save "unchanged" photos (press additional alt-key when using one of the menus, or hold ctrl+alt+cmd to affect the save-button). so its possible to use the automatic date-adjustments (as configured in the preferences) on ALL images. the former workaround was to e.g. change dates +1 sec., save, change back -1 sec., save again. thats not necessary anymore.
- [workflow] added a few context-menus and more main-menu-options for easier feature-access
- [fix] updated XMP-support for the "Transfer EXIF-tag changes to existing XMP-data"-option
- [fix] tweaked the timelineView to better support overlay scrollers and elastic scrolling. optimized performance and fixed a few display problems in the process
- [fix] zooming the main window did not always work as expected when there were many folders imported (lion)
- [fix] with the import options it is possible to set a manual date for photos without EXIF-dates or with empty date-tags. it was possible that these changes were not saved at all when the folder was imported directly into "Adjust seperately"-mode (by pressing the alt-key)
- [fix] trying to rename a folder with unsaved changes pops up an alert ("you have to save first ... do you want this?"). depending on some pref-settings it was possible that the user-decision was ignored and the photos were saved in either case.
- [fix] it was not possible to (multi)-select the rightmost thumb with alt/cmd + cursor-keys
- [fix] removed a potential redraw slowdown for the bigger previews
- [more] and countless other smaller fixes, optimizations, optical tweaks and wording changes!

I only have one feature request that would make it perfect. The "Save" button is disabled unless the user selects a timeshift. In my case, I simply want to change the "date modified" to the "date created" without any timeshift. The preferences do allow this but it is effectively not possible in one go. I had to shift +1 second in the first step and -1 second in the second step.
But again, great work!

This way its possible to get your desired names: just drag and reorder the elements the way you want to.

I would like to see it able to handle individual photos, however. I'm now trying to match up a series of photos from one camera that (for some reason) wasn't recording EXIF and interleave them with pics from two other cameras. I essentially had to put each no-EXIF picture in its own folder so I could get them all lined up individually. Luckily Folder Splitter (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23175/folder-splitter) does just that.
Thanks to the dev for this one!

Too bad it only does folders of images, I'd love to be able to drag a group of images (i.e. a subset of a folder) to the app for renaming/processing.
Further, I'd love to see the ability to sort images processed into subfolders by date or other criteria.
But these requests aside, a nice app and the price is right.

If only it would re-date the movies' Finder information as well...

I wanted to erase all Exif-data (or at least set the date to some 2012 year or so..
Images that only have an EXIF-modificationdate ("file date and time") are treated like images without EXIF-tag. And these are ignored with the default settings.
You can try the option "use finderdate as datesource" in the Preferences instead. But it will only change the finderdates and not the EXIF-modificationdate of these images.
The next beta should improve this ... i hope to have it ready soon.
At the moment I just know of problems with certain images (with included XMP-data) using Leopard.
With these images the changes are not saved and you get an error message instead.
I hope to have a new beta ready next week, which should also significantly improve the workflow.
