New in Ingestamatic 2.12 (Apr 4, 2012)

  • Geotagging now uses ExifTool (built in) to write GPS data directly into ingested files. Can be turned off with option in Preferences, in which case GPS data is written to the XMP sidecar.

New in Ingestamatic 2.02 (Mar 14, 2012)

  • Just found and fixed a bug: Ingestion didn't complete copying unless a DNG Converter was defined, whether DNG Conversion was selected or not.

New in Ingestamatic 2.0 Beta 1 (Jan 23, 2012)

  • Custom fields can be defined in the Preferences for use as macros in IPTC fields.
  • The field Shoot in Version 1 is now a custom field, and has been renamed CF.Shoot, referenced via the macro {@CF.Shoot}.
  • In the Preferences, you can choose which fields show on the main window. All fields show in the Settings panel.
  • You can change the order of fields and their size (number of lines).
  • You can designate a field as required via the new macro {@Required}. When a field contains that macro, it must have a value for ingestion to proceed. The Preview panel shows which photos have missing data.
  • You now define the path to DNG Converter in the Preferences, instead of in the Settings. (MacOS only; the Windows version already had this.)
  • Bug fix: Wrong month for "MMMM", "MMM", "WWWW", and "WWW" date-macro sequences on Dec. 31 in time zones that are +12 or greater than GMT. (MacOS only; Windows didn't have this bug.)
  • A bunch of other minor bug fixes and tweaks.
