You can now exclude files from cataloging based on their name suffixes, or folders based on their name. This is done by a file named DatabaseSettings.xml in your CDFinder database folder. More details in the CDFinder Users Guide.
CDFinder now detects certain file types even if the files have neither a name suffix or the old filetype info. This includes PDF, EPS, JPG, TIFF, and PSD files. Of course, CDFinder will now also get you a thumbnail for these files as well.
CoverArt of AAC-Songs will now be cataloged again, supporting the yet again changed format introduced with iTunes 8.
CDFinder now catalogs custom icons for files.
The Podcast info text of MP3 and AAC files is now cataloged, and will be displayed, and can of course be searched as well.
Creation of all thumbnails is now much more robust, and even the numerous bugs in the Mac OS X cannot crash CDFinder any more.
The comment inside JPG photos is now cataloged (that is the unique JPG comment, not the IPTC comment, which CDFinder can already catalog since version 4.5).
Contents of ".sparseimage", and ".iso" disk images are now cataloged, too (along with the DMG and other formats that CDFinder 5.5 already supported).
Spotlight search results and iPhoto files located with GeoFinder in the Found Items window are now badged with the Spotlight or iPhoto logo.
Switching from icon to list mode, and changing the size of the icons displayed, now always keeps the selection visible.
CDFinder now uses QuickTime to create the preview of PSD files, because CoreGraphics has many bugs with multiple and transparent masks in Photoshop files, which QuickTime surprisingly deals just fine with.
Bugfix: RAW photos taken with the new Nikon Coolpix P6000 are now cataloged
Bugfix: You can now again drag files from offline CDFinder catalogs onto the desktop, or any open Finder window. CDFinder will then ask you to insert the volume, and then copy over the files to their destination.
Bugfix: A problem detecting volume duplicates if their names contained certain special characters, has been fixed.
Bugfix: Reading JPEG-GPS data written by the Dawntech di.Gps Mini II will now work fine. They use a slight variation of the data, and that had confused earlier CDFinder versions.
Bugfix: Fixed several AppleScript problems, including the selection of catalogs that was always only based on the selection of the left catalog list, but never on the really active view in the main window.
Bugfix: For some audio files, the genre is now correctly cataloged again.

New in NeoFinder 5.5 (Jan 5, 2009)

Better cataloging:
CDFinder now catalogs important metadata of movie files (avi, mov, mp4, m4v, mpg, flv), such as the size and duration, as well as the frame rate and codec
Cataloging is much faster now, especially the creation of thumbnails of very large photos no
longer blocks the user interface. You can now continue to work with CDFinder while cataloging several large disks at the same time
Stack Cataloging now works with multiple disk drives simultaneously. Just feed any disk into any drive, and CDFinder will rapidly catalog them all in parallel. Also, you can now set the catalog label and comment for any cataloged disk directly from the Stack Cataloging window
CDFinder now catalogs XMP metadata out of RAW, TIFF, PDF, EPS, JPG, and even sidecar files, increasing the compatibility to Adobe Bridge and all other Adobe applications
CDFinder can now also catalog the entire contents of disk image files (.dmg, .img, and .cdr)! Yet again, CDFinder is the only application available to offer this cool feature
The extended eject menu in the Stack Cataloging window can now open the tray of ejectable disk drives for you
Better GPS support:
The new GeoFinder dramatically improves the Geo-Search feature: A fully interactive map allows you to specify the starting point for your search, and you can use the current Google Earth position, along with preset locations and a new place search
CDFinder can now export geotags into the KMZ format, including previews of the actual photos and important metadata, such as the location and camera parameters. That does of course work for any photo formats
All photos with GPS data now have the GeoIcon badged to their thumbnail in the CDFinder windows
CDFinder can upload your geotagged photos to www.locr.com! Simply context click on any photo with a GeoTag, and use the context menu to start the upload dialog
When cataloging GPS data, CDFinder now also reads the azimuth, tilt, and distance values written by Graphic Converter and some GPS modules attached to Nikon cameras. This value is then used for "Reveal in Google Earth", as well as the KMZ export file
The GPS location data of a photo can now copied to the clipboard, using the context menu
Added SmugMug, WikiMapia, Yahoo Maps, Geody, OpenStreetMap, and Woophy to the GPS menu
Better finding:
Find can now also search by path, e.g. finding all files contained in a folder named "Star Trek" or such
CDFinder can now handle a wide range of URLs, such as cdfinder://find/gps/&city=Berlin&distance=5000m or cdfinder://find/audio/&album=Crime Of The Century. You can use that to interactively integrate CDFinder into your web sites and more. Please read more about this amazing new feature in the new, extended Users Guide
Other improvements:
CDFinder now supports contextual menu modules just like the Finder does. This vastly expands the workflow options from within CDFinder, you can integrate Graphic Converter or Automator directly into CDFinder
Added a new view style to the CDFinder views: Blue. This looks like the sidebar of Finder and iTunes
CDFinder now fully supports Blue-Ray disks. Their type will be detected when cataloging, and the whole cataloging process is fully verified and certified for Blue-Ray now
Extended the Export to include MP3, EXIF, and IPTC metadata of all found items properly
The IPTC metadata in any export now has no Return characters, but these are replaced by either a comma or a blank
Fixed a small problem with the Disk Stakka interface that could cause disks with certain names to be overlooked
CDFinder now accepts its own catalog files with drag & drop into the catalog list. Any such files are now copied to the CDFinder database folder and used
When sorting, CDFinder now sub-sorts all items with the same label by name for better lists
Drawing in all CDFinder windows is much faster now, you should notice that when resizing windows
Improved the detection of bit depth of TIFF photos: CDFinder now properly recognizes 24 and 48 bit images, and displays their color depth correctly in the Inspector and elsewhere
Fixed a small bug in the Find engine that could cause some parameters to omit proper results (Find Kind is Photo AND name ends with ".jpg" for example)
Fixed a small problem that caused random photo files to be excluded from cataloging, depending on their file size
Fixed a small bug that could cause context clicks to be ignored, if the view wasn't activated already
Fixed a small problem that caused the labels from the Finder to be matched to the wrong CDFinder labels
Fixed a small bug in AppleScript, where the found items would report the wrong version string type (short and long always returned the long version string)
Fixed a small problem in the "Advanced Disk Catalog (ADC for Windows)" importer, where some special characters in file or folder names were imported incorrectly

New in NeoFinder 5.1.1 (Apr 17, 2008)

QuickLook Integration in Leopard: Select any file in CDFinder and hit the Space key to get a full preview of the document, song, movie, or photo (if the original file is online)! That even works for multiple selected files!
CDFinder can now catalog all metadata of AIFF songs, including Cover Art, Lyrics and all other typical fields
CDFinder can now catalog the IPTC and GPS metadata of RAW and PSD photos
MP3 Cover Art is now being read from ID3v2.2 format tags as well as the ID3v2.3 tags
CDFinder is now able to export the GPS coordinates of all selected photos (along with their names and IPTC caption) into a KML file (to be used with Google Earth and other applications)
The GPS distance search window now displays the selected coordinate in a nice world map
The Info bar at the top of the Found Items and Catalog Content windows can now be hidden through the View menu
All GPS related context menu entries now use the GPS icon from http://www.geotagicons.com/
Added some hidden settings to enhance the behaviour of CDFinder - please check the Tips & Tricks section of the CDFinder Users Guide!
Changed the keyboard shortcuts to set the label for selected items, and now uses Command-1 and Command-2 to switch the selected view from Icon to List mode
The context menu for Found Items now has the "Reveal in Catalog" entry back
The Inspector now also shows the altitude of GPS coordinates
Fixes a crashing bug when printing CD labels in Leopard (that is an Apple bug, but we could fix it anyway in CDFinder)
Fixes a bug of Leopard, where Apple has changed the behaviour of "rounded buttons". You could see that in the Find dialog. CDFinder now uses much nicer buttons to add or remove new search criteria
Fixes a bug in the GPS distance search, where a rounding error could sometimes produce incorrect results
Fixes a bug in GPS cataloging, where another rounding error could sometimes produce wrong longitude seconds
Fixes a bug of cataloging some JPG photos with XMP metadata where CDFinder would not read the IPTC comments of the file properly

New in NeoFinder 5.1.0 (Feb 26, 2008)

Updating existing catalogs in CDFinder is about 20 times faster than before, because CDFinder now keeps unmodified metadata around (QuickUpdate)
Integration of the Imation Disk Stakka USB device: CDFinder can eject a disk from a Stakka, if needed, and display where a disk is located in a Stakka
New extended Find context menus: Find files with same MP3 artist, album, title, or composer, or based on IPTC meta-data or date values
Vastly extended GPS geotag support: CDFinder can now also show the location of a photo in Flickr, Panoramio, Google Maps and MapQuest. More can be added at any time...
Find photos depending on their GPS geotagging location and distance relative to another photo
Cataloging ZIP archive contents is about 20 times faster than before, due to an improved algorithm
Cataloging of MP3 and AAC meta data is now fully Unicode compatible, and supports Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic, and other characters
Cover Art in MP3 and AAC audio files is now cataloged as a nice thumbnail
Ringtone iTunes audio files are also being cataloged
Creation of photo thumbnails is about twice as fast as before
CDFinder now optionally generates a FileCheck value for every file, and allows you to verify that at any time. Important for photographers and everyone else who want to ensure that their data is still alive and unchanged
Export of data into text files is now also fully Unicode compatible, and exports more meta-data as well
CDFinder can now import Advanced Disk Catalog (ADC for Windows) XML files as catalogs
AutoMount: CDFinder automatically mounts server volumes for you if you access the content of the catalog
New menu entry to catalog a folder instead of a whole volume (CDFinder could always do that, though)
Fixes several bugs of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.5.1 Leopard that could cause cataloging to crash when reading photo thumbnails
CDFinder now displays better generic icons for many more file types
Fixes a sorting and selection problem in the genre menu of the Get Info window for MP3 and AAC files
Fixes some more Leopard related problems
Fixes a problem when printing in list view mode, where sometimes icons would not appear properly
Fixes a potential crash while finding IPTC data on Intel-Macs
Lots and lots of smaller fixes and improvements
This is a free update and very recommended!
