POLL: Do you use JRiver's Images?

<< < (8/9) > >>

v_erich:
My problem is, that I have only RAW images and they are all edited with lightroom.
So I dont want to see unprocessed images.

MusicHawk:
My workflow of Android phones to PC to MC is simple to avoid various pitfalls:

1. Phones automatically load full-res pictures to Google Photos. No worries about "filling up" my Google storage because they don't stay there long.

2. My PC dedicated to MC Images runs Google Backup app that automatically downloads new photos to the PC. It does this for my wife's phone too since I set her Google Drive account to share the photos folder with me.

3. MC watches the folder and Imports all the photos, immediately if MC is running, or later when I run it. No hurry, the photos are already "safe" by being on the phones and on Google's servers. If the PC is running (usually is) they quickly appear there, grabbed by my various backup routines. And pulled into MC whenever I run it.

4. Tagging is in MC, which also moves the photos into my main Images tree of year\month folders. I do that manually (press F6) after reviewing, fixing up, and tagging the photos. This assures that only desirable photos are viewed by others. (Any photos that are odd but needed are put in various other folders.)

5. To clean up the phone's storage, Google has an option to delete from the phone any pictures already uploaded to Google Photos.

Other than the tagging/typing I do, being automated it all takes less time to do than it did to type this, and after a few years (adjusted as Google diddled with things) it has been totally reliable.

Library Eye:
I use it , but I run JRiver for macOS. I like it. I keep cover art in some album folders, so it's nice to be able to view from within the program I use for music playback. I wish I could rotate the view from within Images, that would be helpful sometimes.

Funny thing is first time I used it, it ended up somehow resetingt my Now Playing to just be pictures, which was fine, but it also removed the "recent Now Playings" smart lists. I got them back somehow but they were empty basically and then they vanished again. I always thought that was such great feature to have built-in, for when i inadvertently cleared my Now Playing or when program crashed. But somehow using Images lost that.

Thanks. Yeah, for some reason it stopped generating those. If I ever get one again, I will post an update.
