New in PhotoSort 2.30 (Nov 5, 2013)

  • Improved built-in picture viewer:
  • We have added full-screen mode which can be toggled using the button in the lop-left corner or ALT + ENTER or CTRL + F keyboard combinations. Other changes include some visibility and timing tweaking for controls and indicators.
  • Improved Open Containing Folder option:
  • PhotoSort will make sure the file will be highlighted when its folder is opened.
  • New digital camera RAW formats supported:
  • We have added support for the following file extensions: ARF, ERF, MEF, MOS and 3FR. These are in use by Sony, Epson, Mamiya, Aptus and Hasselblad digital cameras.
  • Image loading speed increase:
  • Image pre-processing is now 4 or 5 times faster which results in about 5 to 10 seconds shorter picture loading time for every 100,000 pictures.
  • Improved Windows 8 compatibility:
  • We have restored RAW photo support that was sometimes not available depending on the user privileges. Settings saving and loading inconsistency has also been addressed.

New in PhotoSort 2.20 (Nov 28, 2012)

  • Windows 8 support:
  • There was a minor incompatibility of PhotoSort with the newly released Windows 8 that resulted in the black PhotoSort screen. This issue is resolved so all of you who upgraded can continue using PhotoSort as usual.
  • Big performance improvements:
  • JPEG image loading is about 3 or 4 times faster than before. This has impact in several places: processing is much faster, browsing through the results smoother and the built-in viewer is snappier.
  • Redesigned and improved built-in picture viewer:
  • The new viewer can be freely resized up to the full-screen, supports browsing through the list of duplicate photos, marking and unmarking of photos directly from the viewer, jumping to the previous or next marked image (by holding a CTRL key when navigating) and uses catching and parallel preloading mechanisms to ensure your last accessed photos will be stored in memory and the ones you are about to jump to are already loaded before you ask for them.
  • User interface improvements:
  • Program skin color is changed to something easier on the eyes, and many minor changes to the user interface are made in order to make it easier to use.
  • New auto-marking filter:
  • Because of the popular request, we have added another auto-marking filter: Mark all from opposing folders. This filter will let you mark all photos that are NOT in the same folder with the picture that you apply this filter to.
  • Old auto-marking filter improved:
  • We have added a feature to the Mark by dimensions filter. Now it is possible to mark photos that match only one of the dimensions (width or height) while ignoring the other. To do this, specify zero (0) in the field you want to be ignored.
  • New digital camera RAW formats supported:
  • PhotoSort now supports additional 94 digital camera models, with total being 471. For the complete list, visit the RAW Formats page.
  • Support for languages:
  • From now on the user interface can be translated to other languages, but there is one catch - the letters have to be representable in ANSI, so no exotic characters for now. Languages that are now available and included are: English, French, Serbian and Greek. If you find an error in a translation please contact us so we can fix it.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • Many minor bugs are found and eradicated including the bug where some JPEG images would be totally black.
