Preload media manager contents at launch time to avoid performance hit when opening it up.Performance improvements for users with large numbers of previously uploaded images.Color profile can now be either preserved or converted to sRGB automatically.Now supports direct dragging of images from Photos.app.New options for image metadata to preserve, remove, or remove only location-specific GPS data. ![]() Here’s the complete list of changes in this release: In addition to the image-focused changes, there are a good number of improvements and bug fixes that will affect a wide variety of MarsEdit users. This is because MarsEdit needs to request a “fulfillment of the promise” before it can work with the image. You might notice when dragging that there is sometimes a delay after releasing the drag. For this reason apps such as MarsEdit needed to be revised to support the new kind of drag. Because images in your Photos collection may be stored in the cloud, a drag from the app only offers a “promise” of a full copy of the image. You may have noticed that many apps on the Mac do not supports this, and it’s because of a novel approach to dragging that Photos uses. This consistency of behavior will be a very welcome change in MarsEdit 4.1!Īlso in the image department, MarsEdit now supports dragging photos directly from Apple’s Photos app. These options for color model and image metadata apply consistently whether your image settings specify a resize, or not. ![]() Starting with MarsEdit 4.1 there are two options for color model: convert to sRGB, or leave the color model just as it is. The sRGB color model is considered the standard for web images, but images from your phone or camera are liable to have another more proprietary color model. The color model information allows for different devices to handle an image consistently. Most images formats support the specification of a standard by which the image’s colors should be interpreted when displaying them on a screen. While I was “under the hood,” so to speak, I took a look at another detail of image file formats: the color model. But many of you will undoubtedly choose the compromise option, to preserve almost everything, but remove location information that could inadvertently reveal sensitive information to your blog’s readers. If you’re a pro photographer and want the detailed camera settings, copyright, etc., to remain intact, then you probably want to preserve everything. The right choice will depend on your scenario: if you’re writing under a pen name on an anonymous blog, removing everything is probably the right choice. ![]() Now there are three choices for image metadata: Preserve All, Remove All, and Remove Location. With MarsEdit 4.1, the preservation or removal of metadata is placed firmly in users’s hands: If your settings specified no resize, all metadata was preserved. ![]() If your settings in MarsEdit specified a resize of the image, all metadata was lost. Previously when an image was uploaded by MarsEdit, no special care was taken with respect to metadata. This update brings a variety of improvements and bug fixes, with an emphasis on issues affecting image formats and the preservation, or removal, of metadata on images that are uploaded by MarsEdit. MarsEdit 4.1 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and from the Mac App Store.
