PHOTO MECHANIC BLACK FRIDAY SOFTWARE
If you have enabled Photo Mechanic’s Check for Updates in Help > Software Update, you’ll get a notification. We expect this sometime next week (The week of March 30, 2020). After getting so much feedback about this issue, we’ve decided to listen and make the change.Ī Spotlight search feature similar to what existed in Photo Mechanic version 5 was added to the limited public beta of Photo Mechanic Plus and tests have gone well, so the Spotlight search will come back to Photo Mechanic in the next production build of Photo Mechanic 6 (for the Mac only). Bringing it back into Photo Mechanic 6 was not a straightforward task. In fact, our users had come up with many clever and crucial uses for Spotlight search that we had not anticipated. We’ve heard from users that there are a few significant use cases for Spotlight search, particularly for finding newly-added JPEGs before they can be scanned into a Catalog. So, we removed Spotlight search from the Mac version of Photo Mechanic 6 and patted ourselves on the back. And in early testing, having two separate types of search Catalog vs Spotlight seemed superfluous and confusing, causing problems in the UI. It is just better in almost every conceivable way. It works cross-platform on Mac and Windows. We originally thought that the Catalog feature in Photo Mechanic Plus would solve all of this. It was only available on Macs, and sometimes cross-platform Windows users were confused by that.
So if you added a keyword to a RAW file and then tried to find it with Spotlight search, you’d get nothing. It had a few drawbacks – It didn’t index XMP files, so metadata that was stored in XMP was invisible. This was the “Spotlight” search box and it was simply a way to use macOS’ built-in “Spotlight” search. If you’ve used prior versions of Photo Mechanic on a Mac, you may have seen a search box at the top of the Contact Sheet. ( 3:48PM PST) Update: The new build of Photo Mechanic 6 is now available
We hope you got the latest Photo Mechanic and are off and hitting deadlines.
