Sidecar files have extraordinary benefits, including that minor changes to sets of large RAW files do not require all of the RAW files to be backed up, which would be extremely expensive and wasteful. I am looking for a good DAM that supports RAW and sidecar files for metadata. Otherwise, as I said, maybe ACDSee Photo Studio is an alternative for you?
NEOFINDER SORT BY DATE MAC
abeMeda looks pretty similar, also there is no Mac variant. Neofinder I had also used for a while, even back when it was still called CDFinder I had it once in use, but with this interface I just can not make friends. If you want to be able to copy or move your data 1:1 again and keep the structure, it's certainly not suitable for that. Personally, I wouldn't necessarily call it a DAM either. Yeah, it doesn't seem like what you're looking for. I see it as very ingenious but a dead end. Eagle seems not to use a proper database.
Extracting the files from Eagle without Eagle would be very laborious. That seems to be the case for LR and abeMeda. Ideally one needs to be able to recover all files even if the DAM becomes obsolete. I have not investigated neoFinder or abeMeda in detail but it seems to use a similar system. LR uses a local SQLite which is perfect for the job. The database needs to run without the services of a DBA. I have been retired over 25 years and my skills with C ,Oracle 8 and Oracle forms are long forgotten. That sort of system is not what is needed for a single user system. The user interface was built with Oracle forms and the stuff hidden from end users was written in C and SQL.
The new database (now Oracle) and drawing files were on a server. The files were on a server and copies were moved into user directories on the same server.Ī later system built with a colleague added functionality for engineers. It was for controlling CAD drawings in a multiuser environment. My first experience of a simple system now called DAM was a system which I built over 35 years ago. Indeed a DAM does normally use its own structure. You could look at the new „ACDsee for Mac“ DAM that works with your existing structure, but I don't know if the Affinity apps have previews. In this case, you might be better off with a file manager that includes a preview for the applications you need. But a DAM usually has its own structure and does not copy the one not from the desktop, because it is on an external drive/server to which all users have access. Then this is certainly not for your use case. So far I have been relatively happy with NeoFinder, I am still trialing it but it seems to work fairly well. Not linking files is a deal killer for me. When I checked out Eagle, I quickly abandoned it because of its "file Structure". Perhaps I have missed some important features.
NEOFINDER SORT BY DATE TRIAL
I will leave it installed for the rest of the trial period. Also the file structure in the library would be a nightmare to untangle should one want to later abandon it.Īs far as I can tell Eagle cannot integrate well with any application that generates additional files rather than just modifying existing files. As far as I can see you have to store stuff in a temporary holding are and the import from there to Eagle. The problem occurs when you want to save or export the files back to Eagle. You can open files in Eagle into Affinity photo. Sure one can see affinity thumbnails (which you cannot see in Bridge). I have been trying it in a test environment. This application also handles the preview of all Affinity programs and costs only $29.95 for a lifetime license! Everything else has already been mentioned. As an alternative for the small purse, I can recommend Eagle ().
NEOFINDER SORT BY DATE FREE
If someone is technically well versed, he can get the free Pimcore DAM, which can be designed according to your own wishes and also extended. Nevertheless, for private use there are a few good solutions that are suitable. As a DAM manager, I can say it's not easy to find the perfect DAM, and if you find it, this will not be cheap - not for private use.
I tested a few DAM, and there are a lot of differences from small to big, from file management to brand-related, etc.
Just came across this topic because of preview and DAM.
