  • create popup menus with submenus for every single field
  • use variables (aktual date and time, filetype, foldername etc. )
  • define standards

Quicktime movie user data (annotations)

  • use templates with customazable properties in batch (overwrite always, write if empty, etc.)
  • create popup menus with submenus for every single field
  • use variables (aktual date and time, filetype, foldername etc. )
  • define standards

More comfortable batch renaming

  • Lossless JPEG transformation
  • rotate (90,180,270)
  • mirror
  • transverse
  • optimize coding
  • remove meta data
  • convert to progressive jpeg

All Informator versions allows you to see:

  • detailed information about image files: colors, sizes, resolution, clipping paths, icc profiles, etc.
  • EXIF and IPTC data
  • EPS metadata: fonts, embedded images...
  • Quicktime movie annotations
  • file and volume properties
  • images
  • multi-page PDF's
  • movies in file formats supported by Quicktime
  • Flash movies and animations
  • Hex and ASCII data
  • catalog info

Informator also lets you:

  • preview AND edit text, RTF files and clippings
  • modify priveleges
  • batch process files
  • extended rename functions
  • change creator, type, extension
  • add icons
  • edit normally "untouchable" file info, like creator, type, file dates...
  • view slideshows with images, movies or text

All of these functions are easy to get to and use, thanks to:

  • floating window, with adjustable transparency
  • collapse to title bar function
  • shortcuts and "hot" corners
  • "drag-able" info windows allow you to work in a larger, separate window for previews, file content viewing and editing
  • simple interface allows you to just click on a folder or file in the Finder, and Informator shows you the desired file data

Additionally Informator makes it possible to get information of embedded images from other applications than the Finder too, like Adobe Indesign or QuarkXPress.

Informator Pro ReviewWay Over-Complicated Interface! - Version: 2.0.5, 7/13/2006 10:29AM PST

quarterwit

This is going in the trash, no matter how powerful it is, because the interface is WAY too cluttered and unwieldy and difficult to understand. And, might I add, nothing like the screenshot up there. I use complex apps a lot, but consistency and logic and such in interface design go a long way. And get rid of halk those preferences, too! I don't need to adjust the height of the header (which isn't even a header!) via preferences!

Informator Pro CommentaryWorks for me - Version: 2.0.5, 1/16/2006 08:19AM PST

Seems to work for me in Tiger 10.4.3. Use App, but I'm not sure it's worth 50. Still, I haven't found much else to quickly edit IPTC info.

This was a good product, but doesn't seem to function with Tiger at all. It also doesn't appear that any fix is in the works.
