Re: Compact DB reports incorrect available disk space?

Well that's all very well, but I just happily copied 200Gb into the space that PSU says is only 59GB.

DiskDrill agrees with PSU for what it's worth... it's all over my head :-)

Compact DB reports incorrect available disk space?

I'm trying to compact my thumbs DB.

The file is on internal SSD. It is 91.5GB.
Application reports that the required free space is 184.9 GB
and available disk space is 50.2GB

MacOS finder disagrees with PSU, and tells me free space is 232.23 GB

Actually I have observed that what Finder reports ...

Re: Searching for text in a filename

Thank you very much Hert!

I actually tried *, and indeed ", but tragically, it never occurred to me to try both together :-)

Searching for text in a filename

This is driving me nuts... I've tried reading the manual, searching the forum, various tricks, but to no avail:

I have a series of files which have (1) in the filename. So, like "sometextstring(1).DNG". They are duplicates. I want to find them all to delete them. So I select States/Duplicate, Type ...

Re: Really stupid question about Categories



... yes, that works.

I've actually realised what I've been doing wrong, conceptually: I've been misusing Categories as Portfolios or Collections.
Then it was worth asking the question :)


Absolutely. The lights have suddenly turned on, and I'm FINALLY enjoying using PSU rather than fighting ...

Re: Really stupid question about Categories

Thanks everybody - I'm afraid I can't quite make out the detail in the image you posted, G8DHE, but it _seems_ that your parent is still 1 below category level.

Perhaps what I need to do is have:

Places > Nowhereland, rather than Nowhereland as a category.... As it stands, PSU does not give me the ...

Re: Really stupid question about Categories

I honestly thought I understood it and I've even gone back and reread the manual (which has improved considerably, by the way) but just now I tried adding a new label to a category, and setting "Also assign its parents" to YES (actually I'd expect that to be the default but never mind). I then ...

Really stupid question about Categories

I've been using PSU for quite some years and I feel a bit ashamed about having to ask this, but...

Categories essentially implement hierarchical keywords, correct? So I have a Category "Nowhereland", and many locations in Nowhereland under that. Say one of these is "Dullsville". So, I see ...

Re: Metadata sync from CaptureOne, DNG

Thanks Hert, that script works perfectly - I don't think C1 has an option to write to DNGs, it always creates XMP.

Metadata sync from CaptureOne, DNG

Hi all

I'm having a bit of a struggle sync'ing metadata from CaptureOne to PSU (I know it's a FAR better idea to go the other way, I'm just preparing the ground to use PSU as my sole "ingestion hub").

Here's the issue: I have folders with a mix of DNGs (Ricoh) and ORFs, all of which have been ...

Re: PSU wipes XMP ACR settings?

So PSU does not access individual fields in the XMP, but replaces the whole file? Why would it do that? Surely that misses a fundamental point of XML?

So, I get a much better metadata editor in PSU, but if I want to use XMP sidecars to maintain ACR edits, I can't use it, or at least I cannot export ...

PSU wipes XMP ACR settings?

Wow. Just realised that any modification made in PSU (v7.4.1.4613) which writes to XMP destroys Adobe Camera Raw settings. I was experimenting with using Bridge/ACR (Bridge 2023) yesterday, and having finished adjusting a session of > 100 images, I then went into PSU to version TIFFs with raws, and ...

Re: Photo Supreme V7 is available

Hi Hert,

Compliment fully deserved, it really is a nice upgrade, well worth the fee.

No, I really mean stacks. I had a folder in which I had created two stacks in v6, yesterday evening (for two cases of focus-stacked images). In v7 the stacks are gone and the images are no longer in the catalog ...

Re: Photo Supreme V7 is available

Well I've just downloaded and installed v7 for macOS. It seems a bit snappier and I really like the new thumbnail metadata display.

But ... I was working on a folder in v6, in which I created 2 stacks. In v7, while it opens with the exact same view I had in v6 yesterday evening, not only are the ...
