Product Description:

Shoebox is a Mac OS X application for organizing digital photos by content. A sophisticated alternative to iPhoto, it uses Knowledge Base technology to learn what's in each of your photos. Shoebox allows you to organize your photos by date, people, places and things. With Shoebox you can quickly find exactly the photo you want, even if you have a very large collection. Shoebox lets you catalog and search your entire library of photos on CD and DVD. Shoebox also lets you surf your photo collection like a web browser. If you already use iPhoto, importing your photo collection is easy. Shoebox comes in two versions: Shoebox Express ($29.99) for home users, and Shoebox Pro ($79.99) for digital media professionals.

Shoebox CommentaryIf only it worked... - Version: 1.7.2, 5/13/2008 01:13PM PST

Nice UI, some great ideas at work. Unfortunately, it's about as stable as quicksand. Not to be trusted! And, despite having been around for several years, it doesn't get better. Me thinks the developer needs a little Cocoa refresher...

Shoebox ReviewPre-release software... your data is not safe with it - Version: 1.7.1, 3/7/2008 01:50AM PST

apart from stability problem (the app would crash randomly and loose the data you had entered during the session), the missing -- but advertised -- backup feature and the UI bug... this application just breaks down when you try recovering from a backup.

I just updated to leopard, after backing up all the system, my photos and taking care of saving Shoebox database and preferences. After a reinstall, shoebox is unable to reuse the saved database... it just lost the tag data and backup info of 30'701 photos I had catalogued in it.

I already emailed their support 3 times in 4 months with no replies.

This is not worth 30$, not 70$, I won't even recommend it as a free software... even if I was quite positive about it when I first tried it...

Shoebox ReviewSLIDESHOW STILL BROKEN - Version: 1.7.1, 11/30/2007 04:35PM PST

Back in March I spoke out against this application because it couldn't do a simple slide show correctly. Well, it's <b>STILL BROKEN</b> in that regard. I don't see a list of bug fixes even listed. The developer certainly knows about the problem. Besides this forum, I've sent several e-mails informing him of the problem.

I would like to recommend this but I can no longer do so.
