I would agree that expecting full DAM capability from Nitro is outside it’s intended scope. I have used Photo Mechanic, Photo Supreme and recently Digikam for DAM tasks. All work well and do not try to be photo editors. The one thing that I think Nitro REALLY needs to address, (and Nik has previously commented on this) is the non standard xmp file format which is totally (to my knowledge) unusable outside of Nitro..meaning that tags and ratings entered into Nitro is useless everywhere else. What I recently discovered in Digicam is that it ALSO does the “file.ext.xmp” format like Nitro…BUT… has a setting that allows one to use xmp format that IS compatible with “commercial software” (Digicam is free /open source) with a note about the issue of the conflict with raw/jpeg stacks. Selecting that option solves the issue as far as I am concerned. NOT having the ability to write standard xmp sidecars is a global killer for me in terms of workflow. Otherwise, Nitro would be the first (and for the majority of files) the only step needed in workflow. Otherwise, I need to cull,tag and rate photos elsewhere, which opens a fork in the road for which “editor” to use. I really hope this xmp issue can get resolved at some point….gary
