Various software updates (SetEXIFData, ICSViewer and HandbrakePM)
Wed, Mar 01 2017 Apple, Calendar, iCal, ICSviewer, Mac OS X, Photo, REALstudio, SetEXIFData, software, video, Xojo PermalinkMy three main apps are updated with new toolbar icons (if applicable) and now look great on HiDPI (Retina) displays.
SetEXIFData v5.9 -> https://marc.vos.net/downloads/setexifdata/
HandbrakePM v1.7 -> https://marc.vos.net/downloads/handbrakepm/
ICSViewer v2.8 -> https://marc.vos.net/downloads/icsviewer/
Also:
- The label 'Camera mode' in SetEXIFData has been corrected into 'Camera model' - the 'l' dropped off when I reset the size of the font back to the system default.
- Bug fixed in HandbrakePM with loading Handbrake presets.

Direct URL 3.3
Sun, Jan 01 2017 Mac OS X, programming, REALstudio, software, Windows, Xojo Permalink
A new version of Direct URL, my Site Specific Browser (SSB), is now available.
3.3
(01-january-2017)
Application Name in MacOS X
In MacOS X the application name, when running, was always 'Direct URL', regardless of the name of the website you gave the copy.
This has now been fixed. For Xojo coders who want to this too, see here for the solution: https://forum.xojo.com/37244-rename-app-on-open/
I have left the 'About' and 'Quit' menu-items untouched, so these still show 'About Direct URL' and 'Quit Direct URL'.
Direct URL 3.2
Tue, Dec 20 2016 Mac OS X, programming, REALstudio, software, Windows, Xojo PermalinkA new version of Direct URL, my Site Specific Browser (SSB), is now available.
3.2
(20-december-2016)
Linux version discontinued
The Linux version is discontinued. Too much hassle to keep it up-to-date.
New version-detection
- As of v3.2, the app will check for a new new version and pop-up a notification dialog with a link.
Window size
- The last known window-size will now be remembered. At startup, the window will always begin at top 45, left 1 and resize itself according to the saved width and height.
Webkit
- The app now uses webkit, if present.
Loading URL in MS-Windows
- There was a problem with loading an URL under MS-Windows. This has been fixed.
Preferences-file
- Instead of having one preferences file in use by all copies of Direct URL, each copy now gets its own preferences file, named like this: durl-[app name].ini
- If you have used the 'Preferences…', this change breaks it. You have to specify any special URLs and/or passwords again.

SetEXIFData 5.1
Mon, Nov 21 2016 Apple, Mac OS X, Photo, REALstudio, software, Xojo PermalinkA new version of SetEXIFData, my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey, is now available:
v5.1
(21-november-2016)
As of version 5, SetEXIFData is now shareware.
If you have donated for SetEXIFData in the past, please e-mail me your Paypal transaction-reference and I will e-mail you your serial number. I am asking you to take action yourself, because email addresses on file are not always actual anymore.
Fix:
- The link to Paypal has been updated to the new Paypal payment-links. You should now see who you donate to and what for.

SetEXIFData 5.0
Sun, Nov 20 2016 Apple, Mac OS X, Photo, REALstudio, software, Xojo PermalinkA new version of SetEXIFData, my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey, is now available:
v5.0
(20-november-2016)
As of version 5, SetEXIFData is now shareware.
If you have donated for SetEXIFData in the past, please e-mail me your Paypal transaction-reference and I will e-mail you your serial number. I am asking you to take action yourself, because email addresses on file are not always actual anymore.
New:
- Added 'Email address' and 'Serial number' fields and a processing limit of max 5 photos a time. When you make a donation, you will get a serial number mailed to your PayPal email address. Enter both in the appropriate fields in the 'About..'-window and the processing limit will be removed.
- Added SubSeconds (or Burst Sequence Number or ImageNumber or ImageCount) to the Date/Time settings. You can insert a value in just this field if you only want to number photos - no need to fill dates/times. It wil set the following EXIF attributes: SequenceNumber, ImageCount, ImageNumber, SubSecTime, SubSecTimeOriginal. When 'Set Creation Date/Time ...' is checked, also the EXIF attribute 'SubSecTimeDigitized' wil be altered.
- Added '%x' pattern in 'Retrieve Date/Time from file name' to retrieve 3 digits from the file's name and store that number in the previous mentioned EXIF fields. It is up to you to correctly position this placeholder. Read the manual on my website on how to do this.
- Added '%x' pattern to the rename-pattern in 'Document name' when the 'Rename' checkbox is checked. When '%x' is found, the following number from the EXIF data is taken to rename the image file with: SequenceNumber, ImageNumber, ImageCount, ShutterCount, ShotNumberSincePowerUp, SubSecTime, SubSecTimeOriginal or SubSecTimeDigitized - whichever comes first.
Update:
- The main window is now resizable.
- No readme cq. manual included in the download any more. The always up-to-date version can be found by clicking the link on this 'About...'-window.
Fix:
- 'Autofill' caused problems with processing multiple images.
- 'Titlecase' did not always work. Now you have to explicitly execute it by clicking a button. This way you can titlecase keywords and afterwards lowercase individual words, like 'and' and 'or', by hand.
- Possible crash while renaming files based on EXIF dates is repaired.
- Various internal improvements.

SetEXIFData 4.6
Mon, Sep 26 2016 Apple, Mac OS X, Photo, REALstudio, software, Xojo PermalinkA new version of SetEXIFData, my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey, is now available:
v4.6
(26-september-2016)
On request:
- Compiled a Universal Binary (UB) version for use on PowerPC and older Intel Macs. You can download it from my site.
- Added 'Save as set' for Geotags. If 'Put address in comment' is checked, the Comment (street address) is saved with the GPS coordinates.
New:
- A double-click on a row in the EXIF-list inside the drawer, copies the value of the right column to the clipboard.
Fix:
- Improved test if 'exiftool' has been installed.
A note about the Universal Binary (UB) version
Since september 2016 there is a UB version available, for PowerPC and Intel Macs. The UB version is still 1:1 the same with the current Intel version, but may differ in the future, since I use my old Powerbook G4 to keep the UB version current. When it dies, the UB version developments will also stop. Until then I will do my best to keep both versions the same qua functionality.
v4.5
(08-july-2016)
Fix:
- Negative intervals lower than -9, like -10, could not be entered.
