Product Description:

Portfolio 8.5 is powerful digital asset management software, but think of it as your personal assistant. It allows you to visually organize, sort and preview your complete library of digital assets, both online and offline. Its built-in automated features allow you to quickly embed metadata into, archive, and share your assets with partners, clients and vendors.

What's new in this version:

Presets Palette - Save collections of metadata as a pre-set. Then, using the Presets Palette, quickly apply this to an entire selection of assets. Use this to drive processes and automate workflows.
Default Field Values - Set field values up front and save data-entry. These values will be automatically applied to all assets as they enter Portfolio to ensure they start out the way you want. Use Default Field Values to make sure every asset is appropriately credited, initiate processes, or apply important metadata that needs to be associated with all your assets.
Catalog Types - Select a Catalog Type to get up and running in an instant. Each new Catalog Type is designed for a specific usage, including search and metadata settings that are tuned to your needs. From simple cataloging of PDF files to sophisticated Project Sync workflows, Catalog Types will have you set up and running in no time. Export your existing structure and settings and use it in multiple catalogs.
Enhanced Digital Camera Support - Portfolio supports the most current, professional-level digital cameras, such as the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. This upgrade adds support for Raw file formats from an expanded list of cameras, including the Nikon D3, Olympus E-410, Olympus E-510, Olympus SP550Uz, Fuji S5 Pro and Panasonic Fz8. View a complete list of cameras supported.
Enhanced PDF and EPS Support - Portfolio 8.5 quickly generates high-quality thumbnails and previews from PDF and EPS documents, making it an ideal solution in PDF workflows. You can also view complex, multi-page PDF documents from within Portfolio on both Macs and Windows platforms. View a complete list of file formats supported.

This thing took over 36 hours (I timed it) to catalogue a DVD with over 25000 files, about 50% EPS illustrations and 50% pixel-based photos. The interface is clumsy, and you can't, and i can't believe this, drag and drop a folder or disk into the window.

Anyway, The MS version of the once fab iViewMediaPro did the disc in under an hour and I was able to drag the disc right into the main window. I mean, c'mon.

Powerpoint thumbnails? - Version: 8.5.2, 4/13/2008 12:58AM PST

I tried this version and I just can't get Portfolio to make any thumbnails from any of my old or new Powerpoint presentation. Extensis claims that this is possible - how?

I have tried with two different Macs; one Intel running Office 2008 and one PPC running Office 2004, but with no thumbnails whatsoever!
