    The vertical interface (what you are referring to as the mobile interface) is tuned to iPhones. While it is possible to turn it on when using an iPad in vertical screen orientation, it is not designed to work if you have the iPad in landscape orientation. So, it would be a partial solution at best. Curves has a text input system, so you could enter precise numbers that way, though Split Toning does not. I will have to think about it.

    Tags work on the Mac, because 3rd party developers like me have figured out where Apple hides the tagging file (the mapping from color to text). However, on iOS, we do not have that information. So, the app can show tags, but it cannot set them (because it doesn’t know what the entire list is). It could have its own list, but that could be incompatible with the Files.app’s list.

    Show Original only works when you are in Edit, where the application has access to both the original image and the edits. When you are not in Edit, the application only has the JPEG preview, so it does not have a way to show the image without edits. I will change the code to disallow M outside of edit. That doesn’t give you the functionality, but at least it won’t look broken…

    It is hard to tell from this description what might be causing the slowdown. Apple does not use the same code for managing libraries that they give to 3rd party apps, so the experience is sometimes different. Getting a sample would help in determining what is causing the slowdown. This is probably better down over email than a public forum, so please email support@gentlemencoders.com and we can work through the steps and issue that way.

    Lightroom requires you to read the metadata manually. There is a menu item for reading metadata from a file. I don’t have LR in front of me right now, so I cannot give you the exact menu, but if you look for “Metadata” in the menus, I think you will find it. In the past there was a preference to sync XMP (both ways) but I think they removed it.

    iCloud for Nitro is the same setting as for Photos. So if it’s on for Photos, and it’s on for Nitro. There is no special setting for Nitro.

    You can test it by editing a random image in Photos on the desktop and seeing if it synchronized to the iPad – that eliminates Nitro from the equation.

    I have heard about this once before – it’s definitely an issue on the Photos / iCloud side. Because Nitro uses the Photo Library to do all the work (it doesn’t bypass any Apple code to work with the photo library), then once the edit is stored in the Photo Library, it’s up to Apple’s code to send it across. You might try the usual things – restart both devices, check for outages on Apple’s side, etc. It might also just be slow.

    I tried to put a share menu into Nitro, but the Share API for Mac is very weird and doesn’t work well. Photos and Preview seem to do special Apple-only things, but perhaps it will get better in the future.

    Export presets are on the list.

    Does the Qimage plug-in run as a separate app? If so, you can use Export and then specify a post-export action which opens Qimage. If Qimage identifies itself as an app that can view images, then it should show up there.

    No, the app cannot do that. I suppose it would be possible, but that would only work for referenced files, which would make for an odd interface. However, if you export the original + metadata and put the XMP file next to the original file (deleting the original Nitro produced), then Nitro would read it.

    Sounds like a bug where the app is confused. Perhaps one of the machines was not connected to iCloud Photos, and then later was. The app might make two sets of albums, or it could be something else.

    I would start with one device and try rating an image and seeing which set of albums it uses. Assuming you are connected over iCloud, then it should show up in the album on the other device.Then you know which one is the real one.

    Then quit Nitro.

    Use Photos (that’s easier) to move the images from the disconnected albums to the iCloud connected albums. That will update everything on both sides. Then you can delete the unnecessary folder (which will get rid of the albums too).

    Then open Nitro and it should find the albums and be okay. If that doesn’t work, we will have to try something else.

    Yes, that is already possible. In the Export UI, you can export an original + metadata.

    That goes both ways – you can export from the file system -> Photos (which adds it to the library + the edits, non destructively!) and you can export from Photos to the file system, which will output an XMP with ratings / edits.

    It’s on the list for consideration in the future.

    DNG generally doesn’t lose a lot of information, but manufacturer “secret metadata” is generally not converted (of which there is plenty).

    Lens correction can vary and the DNG decode is not the same as the RAF decode, though usually it doesn’t matter that much.

    A DNG should look the same between Nitro and Photos – if it doesn’t that would surprise me.

    Glad to hear it. The next version of the app will use Tabs by default instead of separate windows to minimize this problems of windows on top of each other.

    Nitro has two kinds of windows – one for the photo library and one for the Finder. It sounds like you have a window open for the Finder. Go to File > New Photo Library Window and that should open the system photo library. You can then close the window for the Finder.
