    • ]]>     Tue, 19 July 2022 0:00:00 +0000 11.0     Version 2.0.5 This new release is the biggest MetaImage update since its creation. The interface has been redesigned to facilitate file and tag navigation. You can now easily select and filter files and tags using constraints. Also, the list of tags is no longer divided by streams. MetaImage 2 adds a lot of new tags, in particular File:FileCreateDate, File:FileModifyDate and File:MDItemUserTags tags corresponding to filesystem tags. The toolbar has been lightened, and most actions are now accessible via the menu bar. Metadata allows you to edit images stored in Photos: no need to export your images to re-import them later. To be short, I would only mention the addition of a file comparator. You will be able to visualize easily and compare metadata.

    I cannot list here the hundreds of improvements brought by this update. I can only invite you to browse the app. Thank you to everyone who contributed with their feedback and suggestions. Do not hesitate to contact me by mail if I forgot specific points or if you encounter bugs. Don't forget to save as files your tags and presets regularly before updating the app.
