Squire - the best Mac Media Center App ever
I have been using iTheater, CenterStage Mac Media app for the past years, I loved them. However, the development for them has been stopped for some reasons. And I had stopped using Media Center app anymore until I discover Squire app recently. This app is still in Alpha stage but I have seen the video of it uploaded by the Dev and it's very promising and I hope it will be out for public soon.

shootShifter - redate and rename folders of images on your Mac
1.Two photographers made photos from the same event:
- P1: old camera with small memory cards -> three folders, each with imagenames "DSC00001 - DSC00xxx".
- P2: modern camera -> one folder with imagenames "P6150001 - P6170xxx".
Both camera-dates were not synchronized, so the images are in the wrong order when imported into iPhoto, for example.
2.So, let's fix this mess ... launch shootShifter and drag the folders onto the app.
3.Thumbnails for all images are created and displayed in chronological order.
You can click on individual images to view a more detailed preview.
Select one of the folders to make it the active one (the thumbnails are moved a few pixels up)
4.Now you can move this active folder in time: Either by modifying the changes-interface in the upper right corner, or by simply dragging around one of its thumbnails.
5.Alternatively you can also double-click one thumbnail and directly change the images date and time.
6.Its important to realise the difference between the two date-change-modes:
In the standard "Complete Folder"-mode ALL images of the selected folder are always changed at the same time by the amount visible in the changes-interface in the upper right corner.
7.If, for whatever reason, you do not want to change every image of a folder you can use the second "Individual Images"-mode by clicking
on the mode-icon or by using the contextual-menu.
(Shortcut: Holding down the alt-key during import changes the folders initial mode to "Individual Images")
8.In this second mode its possible to move one or more images around, totally independent from the other images of the same folder.
You can select several images simply by shift- or cmd-clicking their thumbs or by drag-selecting them using the mouse.
9.Normally, when moving around multiple images all their dates are modified by the same amount. Which means that the time lag between these images is unchanged.
If you want to "force" all selected images between two thumbs (changing their time lags in the process), you can hold the alt-key before dropping the images. Now their dates are changed in a way that makes sure that ALL the new positions are inside the targeted gap.
10.If everything is correct, you can save these datechanges.
Be sure to verify and adjust the renaming options and then press the "Continue" button.
11.You are done. All the the images are named in a way that you can store them easily in one folder ...
12.... and because you also saved the datechanges back to the EXIF-tag the images are in correct sequence when imported into iPhoto, for example.
