Topic for feature requests

Touch screen features, such as swiping filmstrip or pinzooming. Also even larger bottom row.
 
For me I'm using a Windows tablet for in the field work before using Lightroom, so these functions would greatly help in the initial culling.

Could there be an option or control added for adjusting the "fineness" of the fine detail focus peaking? I find that it works well to show the zone of focus with shallow DOF shots, but for smaller aperture shots, I would like finer discrimination to find the area of best focus. For now, I find that I end up trying to pixel peep at 100%, and that also can be problematic because of the current implementation of demosaicing.

Hi,
Could you add the possibility to select multiple files in the film strip and pass them to an external program at the same time? 
This would support my workflow with RawDevelopper as follows:

• (Ingest Tool) Ingest raw files into folders per date, auto-rename pictures 
• (FastRawViewer) In one directory, select keepers 
• Open first image with RawDevelopper using key "R"
• (RawDevelopper) Make adjustments to all images in directory, store adjustments but don't develop images yet
• (FastRawViewer) Select all images, pass to RawDevelopper using "R" for batch processing in background <== This is not possible
• (FastRawViewer) Go to next directory, select keepers, etc.

This is how I currently work with PhotoMechanic, but that tool is too expensive for me as I'm not using most of its features. The point is that RawDevelopper takes a while to process the images, thus I like to have it running in the background while I work on the next folder.
I'm aware that your single-image concept collides with multiple selection. However, I still think it would be a useful extension.
Best regards

+1 to the request multiple file selections on the film strip and sending them to the external programm. As ACR 9.1 has anounced HDR processing this feature will be very useful. 
And thanks a lot for this amazing tool! )
WBR, Alex.

and another one for multiple file selection (with crtl and shift), this is the only reason i have a hard time using the program
also would be nice to see thumbnails in the main window ala all viewer programs, viewnx, lightroom, acdsee ... 

thanks, but its not the same as having thumbnails open in the main window if no picture is open,
the way it currently works is fine on bigger and dual monitors but really cumbersome on laptops
 
couldnt find them yet if they exist but grid overlays would be nice also

I just found and purchased FRV last night after playing around with the demo for about five minutes. Thanks so much for all the work you have put into it to date, great job.  The #1 feature on my list (which I know is on your TODO) is to be able to select based on rating somehow. If you could add some iteration of this into even a 1.x release it would be HUGE. Being able to quickly rate a folder, select rated to move into Lightroom (or even if it's easier to implement select all unrated to move to _rejected). I believe this one feature could add tremendously to the popularity (and sales) of FRV.

Keyboard shortcuts D, E and S would be very nice (toggles).  More trouble to use the mouse for Shadow Boost, etc.

FRV's display of raw files and tech info is unequalled. For my regular use, its file-at-a-time flagging and moving is still cumbersome compared to other viewers. Please add a vote to prioritise dev effort on two features already requested in this thread:
- Better filmstrip display and quick filtering based on keep/reject status
- Global moves (Move all rejects and undecided, move all keepers, etc)
Otherwise, thanks for a great piece of software!
 
 

Hello.
I am finding FRV to be very much so as the name implies :)
But I can't but help notice that there is one thing that you could do to make it faster (for me atleast).
You store the last N decoded images in a buffer so that the user can quickly switch between two or more pictures for comparision, And you can have that default to 1 so that it does not affect the memory requirements of existing users.
Or is there a switch or something that does that alread?

Hi! Thank you for new release. One question - what about "request multiple file selections on the film strip and sending them to the external programm"? Do you plan this feature to be included in the roadmap?

Well done! Very near perfect application folks :)
One thing I think has been overlooked... The ability to 'batch' a Name and Description into the XMP for a group of images. When I do a shoot or trip I name the event and all the images in that group will have the same title or name, some may very in the description or tags but by being able to do 80% or better in a btach you save me huge amounts of time.
Unless I understand wrong, currently I have to dbl click on the XMP field or alt+D and then select the field I want to enter my text into... Cool would be having a check box in the text entry screen next to each entry field "Propagate Field to all Current Images". This way I can choose to propagate either or both fields to all images in the current folder.
Even without this your workand very reasonable price are very much appreciated!
Thanks again I will be buying it shortly :)
 

I'd love to be able to rotate images by hand in small increments not just 90 degrees.
Overall- LOVE FRV!!

Hi
I like FRV and would luv to be able to use it to replace Adobe Bridge in my workflow for initial photo import and review. I use Bridge to do the following:

• Rename files to my standard style using the rename templates available in Bridge
• Add the new file name into the XMP sidecar file as original filename (so if I say rename a jpeg output file to "Jim's party 2", I can read the metadata to find out I used real file name xyz to create the jpeg
• Import a standard meta-data template with name, copyright info

Could the above features be considered for future deployment please.
 
 
 
 

I would like the ability to re-size the side panels. I have filenames that don't completely show, and I would like them to. Also, the summary information on the top line is cutoff and there doesn't appear to be any way to see what's left.
On the bottom bar, the filename has the same problem, but it's worse because it appears to be centered. So, not only are parts of the right cutoff, but so are parts of the left. It should either autosize to show the entire filename, or we should be able to change the fixed width that displays.
Thanks!

Files in Subfolders
I could not find an option to include the files in subfolders. Is it possible?
Thx
Frank

Please add rotation (by single degrees or tenths of degrees) and I'll have even less reason to waste time opening for raws to load in Aperture. I'll pay more money for this add-in alone.

Hy,
I have not read all the post in this thread, so my wish might yet be wished. 
I like to have a slider change the size of the thumbnails in grid view.
