IIP Windows beta now has improved metadata design; GPS tagging improvements, too

[Marc Rochkind]

Just uploaded are ImageIngesterPro Betas for Mac (2.3.01B11) and Windows (2.3.01B8).

Because of the difficulty in reading directly from Magellan devices, there's a new radio button on the GPS Data panel to read Magellan LOG files directly. Just save the track to a file on the Magellan device and mount it as a disk drive. The choices for reading a GPS track log are now GPX files, LOG files, directly from a Garmin device via USB or modem, and, theoretically, directly from a Magellan device, although I haven't seen evidence that that works. It's nearly as easy to just read the LOG file from the Magellan device, which does work.

Also, on both platforms, the camera adjustment on the GPS Data panel is now remembered, and there's a new Clear button.

Finally, Windows now has the improved metadata design, bringing in to parity with the Mac version. With Windows now, as was the case previously on the Mac, you can set up IPTC metadata the way you want without ever having to change an XMP template directly.
