I've just recently downloaded the Trial version, running it on a MacBookPro (Mojave) and trying to organize recognize my existing Media Library used in Adobe Lightroom 6. I have several questions:
- First off, a question about the media. That Media Library is a hierarchical arrangement of RAW & Video Media ordered by general topic in a set of folders. The folders are organized by DATE (yyyy) folder and further by numerical Year+Month+Day (YYY-MM-DD) folder. Individual media in RAW usually will have an XMP file attached by the same name. Is there a handy way to display and work with the thumbnails (drilled all the way down from the base folder, e.g., "*Animals Media Library") WITHOUT showing the XMP file of the same name?
- Further, can adjustments to the file be made to that XMP+EXIF file as needed?
- I have watched the intro videos and looked through the Beginners instructions to get this far. My initial impression is that this is a serviceable database media manager that should do what I want. It is pretty deep so I'm asking for a few more pointers. The GUI could be more effective and also a better shot selection method and naming method on imports could be provided, apologies if those are already there but not easy to find.
Last question. Is there a guide to file size and storage option for the thumbnails and EXIF data (if stored separately). I have varying size media files from 1000 - 20000 media per set and would like to organize the database as a similar arrangement to the media sets and on different drive.
