I may choose to stagger the release of new versions to testers over time, so that I have a few brand new testers on each update, so it could be a while before you receive an e-mail. When your help is needed, you’ll receive an e-mail including instructions on how to get started with the beta version of iPLM 4. You don’t need to be a current user of iPhoto Library Manager to sign up - I’d actually be interested to have some brand new users try it out as well, to see what kinds of issues they run into. If you’re interested in helping to test iPLM 4, fill out the signup form here to register for the beta program.
iPLM 4 will require OS X 10.6.8 or later and iPhoto 8 or later. This is so nobody has to worry about whether they should wait for the new version to come out before buying - if you buy iPLM 3 today, you’ll get iPLM 4 for free. I’m not ready to announce exact pricing yet, but if you already have a license for iPLM 3, there will be upgrade pricing available, and anyone buying a new copy after today’s date will be eligible for a free upgrade. There is no final release date for iPLM 4 yet - that will of course depend on how smoothly the beta program goes and how much fixing up needs to be done before the final release.
Those are just some of the new features, there are of course many other tweaks and improvements. You can search your photos by name, keywords, faces, and more, either searching a single library, or all your libraries at onceĪn enhanced Rebuild Library command now scavenges orphaned photos from the library package, if iPhoto has lost track of them When copying albums/events or merging libraries, you can now see a preview of what your iPhoto library will look like as a result of the copy/merge before going through with actually copying all the photos over The new duplicate detection scheme can also be used when merging, to give you finer control of which photos get included in the merged library To give a brief overview of what’s in the new version, some of the major new features include:Īn all new interface - you can now browse your actual photos from within iPhoto Library Manager, so you don’t need to open iPhoto just to see your photosĪ new “Find Duplicates” command that lets you search libraries for duplicate photos and take actions on them, such as flagging, assigning a keyword, or moving to the trash So, I’ve decided to start up a private beta testing program – anyone who’s interested in trying out the new version and not afraid of running into some bugs in the process can sign up to be a beta tester. Fixed a crash when calculating library sizes on OS X 10.I’m happy to be able to announce a bit of what I’ve been working on lately - namely, version 4.0 of iPhoto Library Manager! It’s far enough along at this point that I’d like to start doing some beta testing on it, to try it out with a wider range of configurations and hammer out any bugs that might crop in situations that it hasn’t been run in yet.Use this to rebuild your library from scratch while retaining all your iPhoto organization and metadata.
Take entire libraries and merge them together into one, eliminating duplicates in the process. Need to identify and remove duplicate photos across multiple libraries? iPhoto Library Manager does it quickly and easily. Put everything in its right place by dragging and dropping images from library to library.
