What’s new in Ingest

Ingest 0.9.4.3

Saved places, smoother metadata entry, and reliable import and export

  • Save named GPS locations and search them from Metadata Assist and the shared location pickers, including Apple Photos. Saved places work offline; address search, decimal coordinates, and Apple Maps coordinate links remain available.
  • Enter GPS locations beside the Metadata Assist writing area. Selecting a pin returns focus to writing. Previous and Next retain separate photo drafts; Apply keeps Assist open, and Apply & Next advances only after success. Multiple selections can be edited together or individually.
  • New sources default to Ingest Tagged and No project. Ingest All, Ingest Tagged, and Ingest Selected have explicit membership independent of display filters. Leaving a project restores non-project settings.
  • Camera-card roots open their camera folders automatically. Imports finish after metadata, cleanup, and card handling; failures keep cards mounted. View Details opens retained-file, destination, and ejection results from either tab.
  • Improve keyword editing and verification, including blank values and combined additions/removals. Preserve unrelated metadata and write Lightroom-compatible keywords and GPS to matching RAW sidecars.
  • Social Export defaults to the shared originals folder and {base}_social names, with collision protection. Fix concurrent metadata verification, detect changed originals and sidecars, keep successful frames, and retry remaining frames independently.
  • Strengthen source-copy and cleanup checks, metadata cancellation, preview retention, and background-work cancellation. Reuse directory ownership indexes and reduce blocking preview work during browsing.
