Re: Scripting GC - how to get from file name to window?

This is more an educational then a real project. I figured out how to get at the file's meta data in the mean time (although the documentation is a bit terse on that – that I have to use exifInfo['88250002'] (in JavaScript) to get the latitude, took some experimentation). The idea for the script was...

Scripting GC - how to get from file name to window?

Hi, I'm trying to write a (JavaScript) script to work with the currently selected files in GC. It's simple to get the current selection like so var app = Application("GraphicConverter 11"); var sel = app.windows[0].selection() Now, sel is an array ("list" in AppleScript parlance)...

[Solved] Minor problems

Hi, some things I noticed with GC 11.3.2, in no particular order If I delete a photo in the browser from a networked folder (AFP), I get a warning that this is not reversible. Before I can react in any way to this warning, the browser's selection moves to the next photo (also showing it in the right...

Re: NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

Interestingly, I just noticed the same behavior with ACDSee. So it is probably a "feature" of the underlying CIFS/SMB service. Perhaps related to Big Sur or to some setting in my NAS that I'm not aware of.

Re: NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

No. It looked ok yesterday evening, but today (without having even worked with GC), I see again lots of pictures several times in the browser. Could it have something to do with the browser settings for "Cloud drives"? I have added the NAS volume there, but I'm not sure if that is necessar...

Re: NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

Saved prefs and trashed them. Now I'm not sure if we're talking about the same context menu. Here's what I do: - open a folder on my NAS volume in GC's browser - select a foto by clicking on it - right click - context menu appears, first entry is "Open with", then comes "Open"......

Re: NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

It just happened again. I suppose the error message resulted from renaming a file in the browser. IMG_2248.jpeg is not there anymore and it's not in the NAS's trash, either. If I look at the same folder in the Finder, there's only one file called "Bomben im Tempel.jpeg". https://bru6.de/un...

Re: NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

I'm on Big Sur. Since the Finder doesn't show the same phonmenon, I suspect a glitch in the browser's representation.

[Closed] NAS volume derails browser (occasionally)

Hi, I have my pictures on a NAS (Synology), mounted via SMB to my laptop (GC 11.3.2). That works fine most of the time. Sometimes though, the browser in GC goes beserk und shows every picture several times: https://bru6.de/unterwegs/browser-bild/ (in this case, it tells me that it has 8000 pictures ...

Re: Search for keywords on NAS gives weird results

I want to find fotos containing a particular keyword in their IPTC metatdata, let's say "Sebastian". That works now, but I still think that the approach is a bit convoluted.
