SetEXIFData 9.9

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v9.9
(18 November 2021)


Fix & Workaround:

Due to bug in Xojo with setting the Finder's modified/created dates (they are set 1 hour or 1 hour and 40 minutes ahead), '/usr/bin/setfile' is now used, when it is installed. If not installed, you can install it by installing the Xcode Developer Tools, if you encounter the problem. It seems the bug is fixed in today's release of Xojo, but I will test this first, before relasing v10.0.

Open Terminal and copy/paste : xcode-select --install


New:

For better version tracking, I added the necessary info at the top in the 'About...' text field.

Install CentOS 8 / Stream in Parallels Desktop #centos #parallels #macos

SetEXIFData 9.8

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v9.8
(02 November 2021)

Fix:

Min. and max. Focal lengths did not accept decimal values. This is now fixed.

Typing a comma in Min. and max. Focal lengths and Apertures will now be converted to a dot.

Use HTTPS with 'localhost' on macOS Big Sur #macos #ssl #https #localhost

I needed local HTTPS for app-development, because 'Cleartext HTTP traffic to localuser not permitted'.
My local website development domain is called 'localuser' instead of using 'localhost'.

So I wrote down what to do and made it into a webpage: Use HTTPS with localhost on macOS 11.6 Big Sur or higher

When you've followed the steps, you get this:

Mijn kookboek met verzamelde recepten #recepten #kookboek #koken #eten #drinken

Als sinds 1976 verzamel ik bepaalde recepten, destijds uit Avenue, dingen die ik zelf maak(te) en uit andere tijdschriften. Deze verwerkte ik de jaren 80, toen de eerste Mac uitkwam, in RagTime, zodat ik ze digitaal op een floppy had opgeslagen. Later heb ik ze vanuit RagTime naar FileMaker overgeheveld en tevens als PDF's op mijn oude websites ter download gehad. Nog veel later had ik alles overgeheveld naar Evernote, om bijvoorbeeld via Evernote deze notes te delen op mijn website. Dat ging niet echt, en Evernote paste steeds hun software ter verslechtering aan, dus toen moest ik wat anders.

Ik heb sinds 2013 een eigen server bij ANU Internet en vorig jaar heb ik alles naar MySQL op mijn server overgeheveld. In mijn administratie-omgeving ('back-office') heb ik een onderhoudsprogrammaatje waarmee ik foto's kan toevoegen (want die zijn door de jaren heen verloren gegaan) en de teksten kan bewerken.

En vandaag heb ik daar dan eindelijk ook een pagina voor gemaakt binnen mijn website: Eten & Drinken

Nog niet 'mooi', maar wel functioneel. Neem er eens een kijkje.
