1.0 (777) Release Candidate| 12 April 2013

With the new version of Daminion you can classify your image archive library even faster, thanks to improved file/folder management, tag presets, and many other improvements.

Daminion 1.0 RC1 – minor update is now available to download. It’s now possible to stamp images with Geo coordinates and locate them visually on a map.

In addition, we’ve improved XMP metadata handling and support for video formats, added quality EPS/AI thumbnail rendering, and fixed a number of bugs.

Geo-Tagging Images

To stamp images with geo coordinates just select items and drag them to the Map.
You can drop items onto an existing marker
All markers are always visible, no matter how many files have been selected
Search for a location
Markers for the selected items are displayed in orange.
The locations of existing markers can be changed using the mouse
You can use your favorite map provider such as Google, Yahoo, Bing or Yandex
Click on a marker to preview thumbnails of the items behind it
Items that are located close to one another are grouped together for ease of visualization
It’s possible to view all items assigned to a certain marker in the Thumbnail Browser

Import Filter

The “Import Files” and “Rescan Folders” commands allow you to define, in one place, which media formats will be imported into the catalog.
User-defined formats can also be imported into the catalog (Catalog > Import Filters…)
Daminion will display a default thumbnail for these files unless you install a special Windows Explorer extension to display quality thumbnails of this files type in your Explorer window.
