Product Description:

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 in this version:

  • [fixed since b1] added support for another rare image-file special-case where the EXIF-date was not recognized
  • [fixed since b1] fixed a few minor ui-issues concerning images without or with empty EXIF-tag
  • [fixed since b1] fixed a bug that could prevent a multi-thumb drag-selection with the mouse
  • [updated since b1] a few drag-selection optimizations and performance improvements
     
  • [new] added a second date-change-mode making it possible to change individual images and image groups instead of only changing all images inside a folder at the same time
  • [new] added option to transfer EXIF-changes to already existing XMP-data. when using shootShifter on images with included XMP-data (or with .xmp-sidecar-files) this option can be enabled in the preferences. this is a bit more time consuming and therefore optional.
  • [new] renaming images now searches for potential .xmp-sidecar-files and renames them, too.
  • [update] there are special situations when renaming can result in naming-conflicts (e.g. when images without EXIF-dates are ignored or when files cannot be renamed due to missing permissions). these situations are handled better with helpful error-messages. renaming again with updated options now behaves correctly in these cases, too.
  • [workflow] several UI-tweaks concerning keyboard-navigation and drag-scrolling in the timeline-view
  • [workflow] more UI-optimizations in the preferences to increase consistency and to further reduce the first-sight-intimidation :-)
  • [fix] changing the finder-dates is now reliable on Snow Leopard, too
  • [fix] thumb- and preview-images were sometimes very blurry on Snow Leopard
  • [fix] fixed very rare cases where a temporary preview was not updated correctly with the more detailed generated one
  • [fix] using the thumb-date-picker and canceling it could result in the changes-UI being reset
  • [fix] removing a folder during its import was not always successfully prevented. this could result in a crash or in weird behaviour
  • [fix] in some situations it was not possible to confirm the rename/save-sheet with the return-key
  • [fix] fixed another small oversight in the english localisation (checkboxes behaving like radiobuttons in the prefs)
  • [fix] fixed a few memory-leaks
  • [fix] a few other minor fixes and tweaks

I tried to use shootShifter to reset the Finder date to the EXIF data on a bunch of photos. shootShifter claimed there was no EXIF data in the photos and was unable to process them. However, the photos clearly have EXIF data attached as verified by exiftool and other programs. I also found the interface non-intuitive.

Helpful application to recover the Finder's date settings for photos that have been modified by other programs. Many programs supplied by camera manufacturers set the Finder date to the date and time of the download instead of the original EXIF data. This utility can set the original creation date and the date of the last modification back to the time stamp of the original shooting.

In addition pics can be renamed by attaching a number suffix in order of their creation date, so pics taken with different cameras get into their correct sequence of production.
