No problem!

just bumping in, after 4months, as the program really worked as you wished? I'm kind of in the same situation 😂😂 would like to know. thanks in advance.

Wondering the same? Any feedback?

​@@MuratKilcinot yet

Think of Excire like Bridge. It doesn't care if you edit it. It only cares about where it is located. As long as Excire knows about the folder your photo is in, you are good.

Defiantly not

Well, that's a good system and maybe the software is not for you. In my opinion I would say that Excire is still better. The ability to find hundreds of photos across many different folders makes my workflow much simpler. Not everything I shot in a single day is the same so separating images by category would be tedious and time consuming when I could do things like answer this comment 🙂

So how do you achieve that? Let's say you spend a week traveling and you photograph tons of different things every day. You'd have architecture photos, people, animals, street photography, etc. You're saying that after you import say 4000 photos you put them all one by one into the right folder for each image? That seems tedious. Also what if an image is two things? A person with a dog? Or architecture and street? Or nature and macro? Seems more complicated to me not easier.

@@ShutterSpeak Yes, it is a good system and does work for me (and many others who use something similar) I think it really depends on what you need and how that is accessed etc. Whatever the system is then there has to be some sort of search tag or other keyword etc to do a search. Mine is by category or country (if I have been on a specific shoot to another country etc) I am not knocking the product, just trying to explain that there are other very effective ways of cataloging that are cost free and efficient!!

@@DigitalPhotoMentor Each to their own I suppose. How do I achiever that??? Perhaps doing what you think is my system then yes, it would be tedious. However, my system works well because it is structured and includes all processes from SD card to finished edit. All the negatives (for you) you have chosen to highlight are overcome within that. You have to see how I use it before you can decide that it "seems more complicated to me not easier" otherwise I wouldn't use it. Part of my system begins with sorting and editing from a single file I create for the RAW images from that shoot. Not just dealing one at a time as you assumed. I have been using this for a few years and have never failed to find a photo....even when there is a dog and a person!!! If the main subject is the dog then that is where it goes. If the main subect is the person then that is where that one goes....if on the odd occasion it isn't clear then I would put one in each category (to answer your question about having two categories in one photo) I have also never come near to shooting 4000 images in a shoot. I am not a professional photograher nor am I a "spray and pray" shooter that racks up a load of rubbish with the good stuff. As with any shoot when a lot of images are taken, the time factor is around the editing...not storing them in folders. Some people use a similar system to mine, but choose to sort by dates (year, month, day etc) but that doesn't appeal either. For instance, if you wanted to find a certain photo but can't remember the year you took it then you have a problem. If great photographers who do shoot a lot of photos, such as Nigel Danson, and others, use a file system then it shows there ARE other personal systems that work very well. Sorry to ramble on but, as easy as it is to use, it would be even longer if I were to describe how the full system works!!!!!

@@NJM1948 Agreed. I think you should use whatever works best for you. For me, Excire is a huge time saver. I am very happy with it. Why not download the trial and see if Excire does work better for you? It's free.

There is a plug-in for the older version and I am told there will be one for this version in the future...
