NeoFinder

NeoFinder (formerly CDFinder) rapidly organizes your data, either on external or internal disks, or any other volumes. It catalogs and manages all your data, so you stay in control of your data archive or disk library. With extensive metadata support, you can find your files quickly.

Features

New features and enhancements:

• Catalogs "People" fields in Adobe XMP and IPTC data (and data written by Picasa and Mylio)
• Search for People metadata, and add them to photos and movies in the XMP Editor
• Web Gallery now uses beautiful HTML templates, and you can even design your own! Or use your existing iView Media Pro gallery templates (with some small changes)
• AutoTags: Use ML scene detector engines to automatically detect scenes and items in thumbnails. NeoFinder currently offers two different engines, more to come. This requires macOS 10.13 or newer
• AutoTags: Search a catalog for thumbnails with a particular automatically detected Tag
• AutoTags Inspector shows the detected Tags, and allows you to place them in the file directly
• NeoFinder reads iView MediaPro CatalogSets from XMP records and builds albums and album folders for these automatically during cataloging
• Massively improved handing of XMP keywords for multiple selected files. NeoFinder now displays all keywords in these files, and allows you to add, remove, or edit them, and to place an existing keyword in all selected items
• Refresh thumbnails from photos or videos when updating a catalog, if you need larger or smaller thumbnails
• Delete a keyword from all items in the catalog and even from all files as well
• Detect and "fold" image sequences during cataloging. That is great for video producers with thousands of single frame files to catalog
• Search for video codecs in the Find Editor. That is helpful to quickly find files encoded with deprecated codecs
• The new command "Edit keywords" in the Metadata main menu with the keyboard shortcut Cmd-T places the text cursor in the XMP keywords field of the XMP editor for the selected items
• Rename keywords both in the Controlled Vocabulary, as well as in all items in the database

• Catalog metadata and audio thumbnails of ".CAF" Apple CoreAudio Files
• Catalog the number of audio channels for audio files, including 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 formats
