Yes, I stumbled upon the same bug in the Developer 5 beta. Apple has broken RAW decoding for some cameras – doesn’t work in Photo or in Nitro. I have filed a bug, but I encourage you to file your own, in case mine gets lost somewhere. The best way is to file it against Photos, and ideally include an image in the bug report that doesn’t work.
The app does not write hierarchical keywords because Nitro keywords are not truly hierarchical. You can edit pieces of the hierarchy out in an image and you can skip pieces of the hierarchy too. The hierarchy in Nitro is there to help people find and organize keywords only.
The app does not have synonyms or a way to note them. I can put it on the list for consideration but I can’t promise anything.
Hi. Sorry to hear about this issue. Can you send a screen recording of this happening to support@gentlemencoders.com? That will be much easier to troubleshoot. Also, if you can turn on “Show Touches” in the app’s settings, it will be easier for me to follow what you are doing.
I will have to look into it. If you pick a child keyword, and it adds the parents, then I presume you want the parent keywords to appear before the child keyword in the XMP file?
Thanks for the compliments! Unsure what you mean about the local adjustments being weak – almost all of the global adjustments are available as local ones. Nitro does have edge aware brushes. It does not have control points etc. which are protected by patents (I don’t know when those expire).
Editing of single files was added to Nitro several releases ago (on the Mac). You can use Open… or drag a file to Nitro’s icon, etc.
I have received some reports about NAS issues with iOS / iPadOS, but the same NAS works fine with the Nitro on the Mac. Personally, I have found that a Mac mini acting as a server works fine with Nitro on iPads, so that could be option 4 – use the Mac mini as a file server / turn on file sharing.
Otherwise, of your above options, I would agree that #3 is your best bet given that your LAN is fast, but your WAN is slow (and iCloud is squirrely).
The external disk could be okay too – it could be backed up regularly by setting up a backup script / service on your mini and periodically taking the drive back to the Mini, where the backup system would then run.
GPS is supported in proprietary RAW files and DNGs, so it’s fine to use a tool like ExifTool or maybe HuodahGeo to insert the data.
It’s best to add the GPS data BEFORE you import it into an app / view it / otherwise manage it, because adding GPS can change the capture date / time which can confuse apps that are not expecting that to change.
Tone Control? Are you referring to the Tone Map that is present for ProRAW files?
If so I made a video a while ago about Tone Mapping that you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LguSpnDoShM
