New in Usher 1.1.15 Build 4439 (Dec 22, 2016)
- Note: We've changed how Usher calculates some date values. This behind-the-scenes change means that if you downgrade to 1.1.14 in the future, you'll lose some date-related metadata. As always, you should back up your files before updating Usher (or any app).
- New Features:
- Metadata searches now include names of external movie players, as defined in the Info dialog.
- Search terms can now be excluded by prefixing them with a minus sign, i.e. Bert -Ernie would exclude Ernie.

- Compatible with Photos 2.0 in macOS Sierra.
- Improved memory usage and speed of the movie crawler.
- New in-app icons and other visual improvements.
