One of the program I really missed though is ACDSee! I just downloaded ACDSee Beta and I almost dried when I saw it... :-) A lot of things I love to see in ACDSee for mac are already on this thread... after downloading, the ACDSee beta for mac seems to miss this one.</p> <p>Pleas bear with me if someone already requested this but would it be hard to insert a "Get Info" menu when you right click an image? or better yet, is there a way to show the "size" of the image underneath it's name? I work with so many images and often times, with just one look at the collection, I want to see which ones are hi-res and which one is really small...</p> <p>Right now, to see the physical dimension of your image is to right click, show the file in finder, (if you set your "Show View Option"&nbsp; to "show item info", you're in luck) right click the file so you can see the dimension of your image...</p> <p>I am new here so please pardon the long note...</p> <p>Cheers All!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[attachment=0]</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/seaching-sub-folders#post-45205 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:00:33 +0000 Wnderlnd 45205@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I'd really like to be able to search and scroll through my sub folders without having to click on each individual sub folder.&nbsp; (perhaps using the scroll wheel?)&nbsp; I am pretty sure this was a feature of the PC Pro version, but I no longer have a PC, so I can't check.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do digital scrapbooking and like this program for tagging and organizing my digital supplies, separately from my photos.&nbsp; I want to see all the pieces to a digital kit without having to click so many times, even if they are separated into subfolders.&nbsp; I am happy to click on the main folder.&nbsp;</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/new-mac-user-very-satisfied-acdsee-50-pc-user#post-45158 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:48:03 +0000 vakdad 45158@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Hi Tarjin,</p> <p>Thank you very much for providing us with a Mac version of ACDSee, there really is no valid equivalent for Mac. Picasa and iphoto are out of the question for not being able to access external drives, and Lightroom is too expensive.</p> <p>I think that it is important to try to build in the features that are in the Windows Pro version; the customers (many will have come to Mac from Windows) will expect that.</p> <p>And it makes the learning curve easier if you try to keep the same keyboard and mouse shortcuts for the functions. They are very well thought out and proven in the Windows application (which I have been using since ACDSee 2) and I am not sure there is a compelling reason to change them, even if some are not typical Mac usages.</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/mac-version-vs-windows-version#post-45152 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:08:18 +0000 peebee 45152@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Well as a windows ACDSee user since almost day one of acdsee I totaly agree, I do like the batch possibilities a lot, and the latest ACDSEE Pro 3 is really an improvement (in windows then )<br />it's fast and crisp and for the first time I even use it to edit raw files because of its better performance with these files.</p> <p>But now I am about to go the Mac way and it would be very nice to know I will be able to use my old and trusted acdsee pro in Os X! So please please ACDSEE team keep the Mac work going and I'm looking forward to the next beta, and even the full version!</p> <p>peebee&nbsp;</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/mac-version-vs-windows-version#post-44935 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:32:57 +0000 kazibo 44935@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>May be I do not understand something, but WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIMPLY MAKE ACDSEE for MAC same as you did for Windows? I'm using ACDSee since 1999 on my Win Desctop and I love it... I can't imagine picture managing on PC without AcdSee... It was sad to discover that Mac version is so weak, when I bought my MacBook and was looking for good image viewer for it.</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-and-some-feature-requests#post-44906 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:32:11 +0000 Napper 44906@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I am a Mac user since 2004 and love this plattform. Since I communicate this quite openly I have an increasing number of friends / family members / co-workers that have made or have tried to make the switch as well. For many of them the biggest problem was the Finder. I never noticed how different it was from the explorer in Windows but I am beginning to get the problems related to it (like that I am not able to create a folder within a tree structure, no Cut and Paste of files, no tree on the left, details on the right mode). This makes it really hard for beginners to do the most simple of processes. No - here comes ACDSee - another gripe my friends had : where is my ACDSee!!! :) They all love ACDSee. With the Mac version of the software both the Finder and no-ACDSee problem goes away. Brilliant! Thank you guys, for investing into this plattform!!!</p> <p>Testing the software I noted a couple of things that we would find really cool to be included in the final version:</p> <p>1) Keep the "Mac-Unlike" feature of being able to create new folders within the tree structure! This makes ACDSee a file browser alternative</p> <p>2) In windows when I double-click on an image I can set ACDSee to enter full-screen mode and let me view my images by going up and down with the page-up page-down buttons. In the Mac version it enters the "View-Mode". Could you give us the windows option as well? As fun as Quicklook might be, it's nowhere as usefull as double-clicking on an image and going fullscreen _and_ being able to the next images afterwards. That ability is given in iPhoto but when you work with removable media you don't want to import everything into iPhoto just to check out pictures.</p> <p>3) We have a Windows/Mac mixed environment with a Win2003 Server in our company. ACDSee has some severe problem with accessing pictures stored on network drives. (Crashes, endless spinning beachballs, etc. (it occasionally works as well))</p> <p>4) The Selection Basket. Most usefull ACDSee tool ever. Please? :)</p> <p>I am looking forward to the next Betas. Love that you fixed the Snow-Leopard bug!</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Napper</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/modify-properties#post-44645 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:30:11 +0000 Laure479 44645@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I have been using AcdSee v8 a lot when I had a PC to modify my pictures, and I found one feature particularly useful: the fact that in the properties panel, I could modify some of the data, like the creation and modification date of the pictures. Since I usually sort them by date, this is something important for me. However, on the Mac version, this feature isn't available, which is a pity. Nor are we given the possibility to change some basic info in the Exif data, like in the Windows version.</p> <p>Something I would also greatly appreciate in AcdSee for Mac would be the possibility to rearrange the pictures in the folder by dragging and dropping them... Now I can just sort them by name, which I find very annoying...</p> <p>Do you plan on improving these features later on...?</p> <p>Thanks anyway for delveloping this program for Mac!</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/zoom-lock-in-full-screen#post-44380 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:21:17 +0000 cloudsymph 44380@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>hi there.</p> <p>the title virtually speaks for itself.&nbsp; the full screen mode doesn't allow for customizable zoom, or not from what i've found anyways.&nbsp; and i didn't come across this topic in the forum on the search bar, so i'm not sure if people have or have not asked this yet.</p> <p>also on a different note is there anyway for the shortcuts to be cmd+"insert button" rather than cmd+opt/alt+"insert button" or will this change cause a problem with other short cut functions.&nbsp; because having to alt as well was a bit annoying.&nbsp; although this is a very minor issue and wouldn't affect my decision in buying this product when a full release comes out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>regards</p> <p>cloudsymph</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/acdsee-pro-for-mac-what-are-your-goals#post-44302 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:42:55 +0000 pfcurtis 44302@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Where do you see ACDSee Pro fitting in with the other Mac photo organizers and editors? I am not including iPhoto and Picasa as they do not have full metadata and image editing features.</p> <p>The feature set of the Windows version appears to be similar to those of Lightroom and Aperture. Is it the goal of your developers to compete with those applications. I for one, hope it is.</p> <p>If you can sell ACDSee for the same price, or lower, as the Windows Pro version, you will also undercut the Apple and Adobe prices and could soon get a substantial market share. Aperture users are upset with Apple for lack of updates and Adobe charges an arm and a leg for their application.</p> <p>If you are not going to match the features of Aperture or Lightroom, what features will not be included?</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/handle-rawjpeg-together#post-44017 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 16:55:17 +0000 albertorios 44017@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>It is increasingly common for cameras to save a RAW and JPEG version of the same shot. Some image viewers are able to identify that and show the image as a single file in the viewer. The benefit is twofold:</p> <p>1) Any labels, categories, keywords, etc are added to the two formats simultaneously</p> <p>2) It makes scrolling through images faster since it does not show the same image twice (JPEG and then RAW)</p> <p>This would be a nice feature to have</p> <p>AR</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/converting-db-from-pc-to-mac#post-43709 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:33:11 +0000 TK 43709@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I am one of those looking to change from a PC user to a Mac user.

If it were, perhaps we may have done that.&nbsp; But Mac is a different operating system, different competitors, different expectations from different users, and the PC version isn't perfect, nor was it built overnight.&nbsp; We're hoping these forums and betas will give us guidance and opportunity to iterate on features as we build them on Mac to suit Mac users' needs.&nbsp; That's the high level answer.&nbsp; We're much closer to the analogy of MS Office, there's a PC version but the Mac version is still a little different (some would say very different).&nbsp; At the end of the day we're aiming to allow users on both PC and Mac platforms do what they need to, and feel like they belong in the ecosytem and landscape where they ultimately live - on Windows or on Mac OS X.</p> <p>Please don't be discouraged.&nbsp; We are making improvements based on the feedback we get, and it does take a little time to implement changes, and test for bugs etc.</p> <p>The Mac version is aiming to be similar to Pro 3 (in case you are not familiar with the latest Pro 3 version on PC that was released this week).&nbsp; But for the first release we won't have complete feature parity - it'll take time.</p> <p>Not only that, we want to take full advantage of the operating system on Mac.&nbsp; There's Finder, there's Spotlight, there's Quick Look, there's iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom... there are many choices and expectations for people who live in Mac OS X, and we chose a path where we want ACDSee to feel like it was meant to be on Mac.&nbsp;&nbsp; It would be a disservice to Mac users to not take this approach.</p> <p>I hope my repsonse gave you what you need to understand what we're aiming for.&nbsp; I completely welcome suggestions for improvement.&nbsp; But porting the PC version (whichever version that is) isn't a sliver bullet.</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/are-these-features-is-in-the-beta#post-43134 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:16:11 +0000 Fotographiste 43134@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Renaming files: I mean by batch rename.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for reply,</p>
