DESCRIPTION
shootShifter helps to redate and rename complete folders of images based on the EXIF data or Finder dates. With the preview timeline its quite easy to synchronize several folders that were taken with differing camera dates.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.5:
  • [new] unified the interface: the drawers are gone.
  • [new] resizing the main window now resizes the previews!
    very large previews are possible this way. (do not forget to enable the "more accurate previews"-option in the preferences.)
    the old behaviour (resizing the tableview instead) can be accomplished by ctrl-resizing the app
  • [new] most date-format user-preferences are now honored when displaying all the dates
  • [new] added option to NOT change finderdates at all when modifying EXIF-dates
  • [update] increased selection-border-width for improved recognizability
  • [update] when dropping a thumb the timeline-view is scrolled to keep the active thumb under the mousepointer in every case possible
  • [update] rename-templates are now sorted alphabetically
  • [fix] dragging thumbs outside the main window does not focus other app windows/potential drag targets any more
  • [fix] accessing the mode-menu cleared the undo-buffer, even if the mode and the active folder were not changed
  • [fix] it was not possible to confirm the import-option-sheet with the return-key while the datepicker is active (it swallowed the key-event)
  • [fix] it was possible to import folders using drag and drop when the app should be blocked instead due to an alert or another sheet. this could lead to unexpected behaviour
  • [fix] multi-thumb drag-selections with very fast mouse-movement could result in wrong thumbs being selected
  • [fix] double-clicking an "empty" preview does not try to open a non-existing or wrong image in the Preview.app anymore
  • [fix] a few other minor fixes and tweaks
  • [testing] I extended my example-image database: shootShifter is now tested successfully with JPEG-images from 336 and RAW-files from 79 different cameras.
    However if you have any images that do not work as expected (e.g. other apps show EXIF-dates, but shootShifter does not), it would be great if you could send me one (or more) example files for debugging purposes.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

STONGEY  This app is great! I use it get the time/date right when I make panoramas. Just drag the finished panorama JPG next to the last source photo and presto.

I would like to see it able to handle individual photos, however. I'm now trying to match up a series of photos from one camera that (for some reason) wasn't recording EXIF and interleave them with pics from two other cameras. I essentially had to put each no-EXIF picture in its own folder so I could get them all lined up individually. Luckily Folder Splitter (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23175/folder-splitter) does just that.

Thanks to the dev for this one!

HANDYCAM  Does what it says.

Too bad it only does folders of images, I'd love to be able to drag a group of images (i.e. a subset of a folder) to the app for renaming/processing.

Further, I'd love to see the ability to sort images processed into subfolders by date or other criteria.

But these requests aside, a nice app and the price is right.

THANAR  shootShifter is an excellent tool! I had a few hundred pictures taken in a different time zone and shootShifter shifted the time for me in no time! Excellent utility!

If only it would re-date the movies' Finder information as well...

TICE  Hmm.., doesn't work with Leopard. It displays the folder name but not the JPGs inside. No thumbs, no option to edit though. : (

I wanted to erase all Exif-data (or at least set the date to some 2012 year or so..

MACZENTRISCH  At the moment shootShifter only uses the EXIF-creationdate ("date and time of original data generation") as the EXIF-datesource.

Images that only have an EXIF-modificationdate ("file date and time") are treated like images without EXIF-tag. And these are ignored with the default settings.

You can try the option "use finderdate as datesource" in the Preferences instead. But it will only change the finderdates and not the EXIF-modificationdate of these images.

The next beta should improve this ... i hope to have it ready soon.

SURFACEMARKING  I've exported a load of photos from 2002 to watch on the Wii Photo Channel and naturally everything has been dated the day of export and i'd like to re-date them to accordance of year. Can ShootShifter modify the image date? Thanks!

MACZENTRISCH  Try it, and tell me ... :-)

At the moment I just know of problems with certain images (with included XMP-data) using Leopard.

With these images the changes are not saved and you get an error message instead.

I hope to have a new beta ready next week, which should also significantly improve the workflow.
