Photo Supreme

Sometimes Photo Supreme Timeline panel shows 0 (zero) photo dated 1899. All my pictures comes from a Nikon Z6 and none has such a date.

I installed the V2024 upgrade with some apprehension. It turned out to be fast and painless. My computer is a MacBookPro M1 running OSX Somona.

I'm in the process of converting all my jpg files to heic. What I'm struggling with is how to copy all the tags I have created against the jpg files to the heic files. I've created new heic versions in the same directory. I then imported the heic in to Photo Supreme and they are version stacked ...

The same procedure work for me, with a version set made of a jpg and a RAW file, with MacOS Somona and PSu 2023.

I use it quite often.

I have noticed that in many occasions the activity monitor has shown no progress in some task for hours. Quitting and restarting PSu I found that the task was indeed finished. This is with previous versions of PSu, I did not dare to install the new one yet.

A possible solution (not for the faint hearted) could be to move the Catalog folder to the ssd and replace the original Catalog folder by a link pointing to the displaced Catalog. It may work.

Why not call EXIF from within PSU with the required command line ?
This will then pass all the file names and the defined command to EXIF as an external application, once EXIF has finished then you can re-sync the images selected within PSU. I have the default(-k) set up but it can be changed as ...

IMHO the best way to recreate a PS catalog is to use a backup (supposing you have such a backup).

You can either use the backup restore pair of commands of PSU, performing a new backup periodically.

You can alternatively use a backup of the cat.db and thumbs.db files (using Time Machine on OSX or ...

If I were to use the shell, I would write a shell script that goes through all files with a given pattern (using the "find" command) , check if the date timeoriginal is set and if not set it according to the file name.

I have to find how to add exiftool ( a perl script) to the PtotoSupreme external applications


Why not use exiftool outside PSU? I didn't know any reason why such a tool should necessarily be started from PSU


IMHO It would be more straightforward to call exiftool from PSU:

Some pictures have no date set in the metadata, but the date is encoded in the file name (for example IMG-20210811.jpg)

exiftool "-datetimeoriginal<filename" IMG-20??????.*jpg

will set the date of all files ...
