KeymasterSmart Albums in Nitro are visible in Photos, but not in the Photos Smart Album area. In Photos, they appear in the Nitro folder. That’s because Apple does not allow apps to make Photos smart albums. I’m sure that was confusing. I’ll try again: Smart Albums in Nitro are regular Photos albums (like ratings albums), but they are treated specially in Nitro. Smart Albums made in Nitro appear in Photos with a weird series of letters and numbers. That’s expected (and has to do with the silliness I have to go through to make a “smart album” that’s not a true smart album.
You can’t remove an image from a Nitro smart album. You can only delete images from smart albums. This is also true for Photos Smart Albums (try it). That’s because a smart album must provide the correct search results.

KeymasterNothing I can really do about it right now (other than not call the app Nitro).

KeymasterSome apps may be able to read/write keywords in the library, but they are probably sold outside the App Store. Inside the App Store, apps are prohibited from accessing keywords (as keyword access is a private function in Photos).

KeymasterThat feature exists in the app. Go to Settings and look for Configure Editing Options. There is a button there. You can rearrange adjustments and also choose “Auto Collapse” to get the behavior you described.

KeymasterI hope to add keywords to the Finder part of the app in the future. I need to figure out a few things first.
I cannot support keywords in Photos, even though Mac Photos lets you add them. That’s because Apple does not allow apps on the Mac App Store (yes, that’s right) to read or write keywords.
In general, I try to avoid implementing features on only one “half” of the app because it’s very confusing to people (especially when keywords are available inside the Photos app).
As far as Perspective goes, I suggest trying the vertical and horizontal sliders – that is an easy way to correct perspective.

KeymasterThe screenshot did not come through, so I cannot comment on it. Edge Aware has to walk a fine line to detect edges while not getting tripped up by slight variations in color and texture that are always present in natural images.

KeymasterI don’t know. If you want to send me a file (before opening it in Affinity), I can take a look. Please email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can send you instructions for uploading (I don’t want to put that into a public forum to avoid spam).
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterPlease email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can work with you directly.

KeymasterI have not seen such poor performance before. Are you using the Photo library or the Finder for these images? Also what camera model are you using?

KeymasterSorry to hear that. It depends on where the ratings are stored. Did you apply the ratings in RAW Power, or in a different app?
If you applied them in RAW Power, then you will need to make a sidecar file that Nitro can read. You can do that selecting images in RAW Power and using File > Export Nitro XMP Sidecar.
That export feature is best used for small groups of files (not hundreds or thousands) – I did not implement a progress dialog, etc. I suggest testing it with a few files first. I hope to add progress and such in the future to RAW Power for exporting sidecars.

KeymasterThe contextual menu could use some additional options. Glad you found it.

KeymasterHi Ben,
I have not done any work on Services or Shortcuts. I plan to at some point. If there are things you think would be useful to a lot of people, please email me at support@gentlemencoders.com so I can keep a list.

KeymasterMike said that the Spot / Wire removal tool didn’t give him good results and the clone tool did not allow him to fix it. I explained why the clone tool did not fix it. I know that the Spot / Wire removal tool has limitations. That said, it works on a lot of cases. If you look at the UI, it says I’m working on a new one.
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterYou’re right. I will work on fixing that. It won’t be in the next update (that’s basically locked down), but the next one will probably have an improved cursor.
