Sorry to hear about this bug. Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce it – I made a subfolder of presets and arrowed back and forth but didn’t see any errors. Please email support@gentlemencoders.com and we try to figure out what’s causing it.
Yes, I see that issue with the search field as well. I will look into it. Thanks for reporting the bug.
Thanks for your suggestion. It has not been discussed before. I’ll make a note – that said, it sounds different from having keyboard shortcuts for keywords, since you are moving images into albums, but I understand the idea. We should try to get tags to work for you though – please email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can try to help you.
I looked into this some more – Nitro does request that a thumbnail be inserted into the file during export. I used ExifTool to look for thumbnail data but I only found it for JPEGs, not for HEIF8 or HEIF10. Then I exported a new image using Preview, using HEIF and also did not get a thumbnail (according to ExifTool at least). So, it may be a bug in the OS.
Perhaps. The auto enhancement adjustments are designed to work together to produce a nice image, not independently. Also, just to be clear, the checkbox to use Levels is choosing between Levels and Curves – it’s not choosing between Levels and no Levels.
These things are possible, but the point of AE is to be a quick way to enhance images with the intensity slider as the primary way of under or overdriving the effect.
Batch AE is on the list to do.
Apps can choose to store a thumbnail or not when making files. If no thumbnail is stored, then the Finder will usually make one on its own if it’s a format that the OS understands. I’ll make a note to try to reproduce it, but the fact that it only gets a thumbnail occasionally is odd.
I’m not sure what you are asking. You want the vertical interface from iPhone also available for iPad? But does that actually solve your problem with Curves / Split toning on iPad? (perhaps you only have the issue with vertical screen orientation?)
It is a bit risky, since there is no approved way from Apple to tag files in this manner. On the Mac, Apple has moved the file (and the format of the data) repeatedly which has been a huge hassle for us as 3rd party developers. There is always the chance they will lock it down somewhere we cannot access but hopefully not.
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.
