What's New

This release brings a major under-the-hood change to how ImagingTriage handles image metadata.

Previously, the application relied on separate .xmp sidecar files to read image ratings and color labels. This approach, while effective for certain workflows, had a few limitations:

• It required the presence of a separate .xmp file for every image.

• It didn't work for file types like JPEGs, where metadata is often embedded directly into the file.

• It added an unnecessary layer of complexity to the processing logic.

With this new version, ImagingTriage now reads the XMP metadata directly from the image files themselves. This provides several key benefits:

• Improved Reliability: The application no longer depends on external .xmp files. If the metadata is embedded in the image (as is common with tools like Sony's Imaging Edge Viewer), the program can read it directly.

• Wider Compatibility: The new logic works seamlessly with all supported file types that embed XMP data, including .ARW and .JPG files.

• Streamlined Workflow: The processing logic is more efficient and robust, as it eliminates the need to cross-reference image files with their corresponding sidecars.

We believe this change will significantly improve the user experience and make ImagingTriage a more powerful and reliable tool for photographers.
