Rotate Crop / Search IPTC Keywords for Several Directories

[Roger]

I'm evaluating PM. I'd like to say it's a great implementation for a front end work flow. It's a very difficult task to know where to draw the line on feature creep.

Rotate Crop: For situations that require very little post processing PM is sufficient in many cases to be all that's needed for the majority of the images. I find the crop function very useful. The ability to rotate the crop would eliminate the need for further post processing in many cases.

IPTC Keywords: It's not an organizer, but if the keywording capability is present, then searching across directory organization would be extremely helpful. I'd like to be able to apply the keyword search to a directory (sub)root or a group of open Contact Sheets

Thanks,
Roger

That feature has been requested a number of times.  I do plan to implement it at some point, but I can't give you a date yet.

A full cataloging module is planned and will integrate with Photo Mechanic so I think we'll have you covered in effect.

Thanks for the feedback,
