The app doesn’t have an import module. Since an SD card is just a file system volume, people can use the Finder or Image Capture.
People have requested it, so it’s on the feature list for the future. Generally, that kind of import feature is less about copying, and more about dealing with metadata or copying them into specific folders, so it’s can be complex to implement.
Photomator has the same problems that Nitro has – it can open a file, but when it tries to access the folder, it sees no other images. Nitro treats the network share like any other directory – I wrote a test app that I gave to UGreen to show how my code works fine for local storage on iOS/macOS, on the Mac when talking to their NAS, but fails with iOS/NAS.
That’s certainly odd. The images are stored in the Finder and you add a keyword in Nitro but it’s not saved?
Is the XMP data you put in this post from the Nitro XMP sidecar file or is it from digikam or something else?Please try the following:
1. Open Nitro
2. Select a file that doesn’t have an XMP sidecar
3. Rate and add a keyword
4. Go to the next image to make sure it’s written out
5. Open the XMP sidecar in TextEdit or something – is the keyword present?I have heard of the fruit module, but if it only fixes the permissions issues, then it’s not going to solve this problem. What is interesting is that Files.app is able to see into the folders, but my app (using standard Apple calls, which *should* be what Files.app uses) doesn’t.
Thanks for clarifying that. I tried those steps but they did not work.
I think it’s because the Nitro problem isn’t one of permissions (read write vs. read only). It’s that the NAS is returning an empty list of files, period. Permissions wouldn’t explain that because the files would be visible but not openable.
Hi John,
Sorry to hear about this problem. I ran a quick test but was not able to reproduce the problem. This is what I did.
1. Put a CR2 on a flash drive
2. Edit that image in Nitro (on the flash drive). I turned it black and white.
3. Ejected the drive and inserted it into an iPad
4. Add the drive itself to Nitro.
5. Set the rating
6. Entered Edit – image was black and white.Based on your description, the only thing I can think of is that the app was not able to read the XMP file (or couldn’t find it), so it made a new one.
I suggest re-running your test by editing on the Mac, and then going to iOS, but go into Edit first to see if the image’s edits appear. If they do, set the rating or flag. Does that work?
If you unlock the sidebar, then it stays visible (but covers part of the grid). It’s basically waiting for you to pick a container or click in the grid. Then it will stay hidden until you press the sidebar button. When you press the sidebar button, it will appear again as before (covering part of the grid). When you click on a new container (or in the grid) it will hide itself again.
You can unlock the sidebar using the toolbar. Then you only bring it up when you need it. It can’t be invisible ALL the time, otherwise you would have no way to choose other folders / albums.
Thanks – this is really interesting. So, when you adjusted the login by prepending “WORKGROUP\” are you saying literally the word “WORKGROUP” or whatever the workgroup is in the SMB setup? I am unfamiliar with how SMB works or is setup.
If you do this (and potentially these other configuration changes) are you able to view files on a NAS with Nitro?
The app has a preset for this in the Presets > Tone. It’s called Negative <-> Positive.
The app also has two features for retouching. One is Spot/Wire which is very basic and there is an AI Eraser now as well. Both are in the Quick Fixes section of Edit (where auto enhance is)A Grain adjustment is on the list to do. I had a version but I wasn’t happy with it, so it needs more work. That said, it won’t be a true film simulator – I don’t have the resources for that.
I haven’t looked into it yet. I first have to implement iCloud Drive support. While iCloud Photo Library is supported, but Photos handles the iCloud stuff itself. For regular iCloud Drive, I have to implement Apple’s APIs. For OneDrive, I have to implement Microsoft’s APIs. For Dropbox, I have to implement Dropbox’s APIs, etc. So unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to either of your questions.
