User Reviews

I’ve been moving away from Apple Photos primarily because of the size of my collection. I still plan to use Apple Photos, because of its convenience, but for a curated list of files. Currently I have upwards of 250k assets which I am managing with three PixlPath libraries. The dedication to the Apple aesthetic is what really makes me love where the developer is headed with this product. What I still long for is integration to both read from IPTC/XMP keywords and ratings, and to have a path to update them. While being able to do so from in PixlPath would be nice, I’d be fine with XMP sidecar generation where I can use EXIFTOOL to update the actual images. Whatever works for the overall vision. I do want to see the ratings/keywords from images read from the media however so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Overall though, the best potential of any app I’ve seen.

Update 09/25: The developer continues to refine both the interface and the function, and the app becomes incrementally more useful and generally stable with each iteration. In my workflow it has now become a good substitute for the long-mourned demise of MediaPro—it's stil not quite as powerful an ally in quick organization for that defunct title, but it has come closest of the myriad image cataloging and file organization programs I've used over the years, and I find I can rely on it to make quick work of organizing the visual assets of a new project and keep to a tight schedule. I have no doubt the developer will keep working towards a more useful and usable program based on all the positive changes. Update: The developer reached out to me and offered to help trouble shoot the app, and he also updated it independently to address what he thought might be the issue. It works much better and the issue seems to have resolved—I can now open catalogs with thousands of items with no trouble. Old review: I find that working with catalogs with more than a 5 or 6 dozen images bogs the software down, and that it somehow loses the thumbnails with greater frequency the larger the catalog gets—it ends up necessitating rebuilding the thumbnails only to lose them over and over. I tried making the thumbnails as small as possible and it doesn't help. It ends up being useful for organizing images in a small way, but its limitations are frustrating even as its design is clean and inviting.

Even a simple password offering, but Face ID or biometrics on iPhone/iPad would be better. I'm surprised. A lot of my assets are proprietary and stored in a network volume that can be accessed by others. I think you should consider some basic protection.
