Thereās no keeping Sparks in check.
Great wishlist. I was just confused by one comment by @MacSparky. You mentioned that there were powerful IOS apps that would be great on the Mac and one of the once you mentioned was OmniFocus. Not only does it exist, but you also made a Field Guide for itā¦
Is there some functionality in the IOS app you think is missing? I just bought the guide and have not started it yetā¦
And Omnigroup: PLEASE donāt make a marzipan OF app! The iPad app is only just there as it is. Nowhere near the macOS app in functionalityā¦
@ismh86, your financial formatting TextSoap job is absolutely begging to be named āLaunder Moneyā.
On the topic of geo-tagging photos, Iāve been using the GPS4cam Pro iPhone app / desktop app to tag raw files before importing to Lightroom. Unfortunately Iām not sure how much life that particular application has as there doesnāt appear to have been any updates or social media activity since 2014.
If you are a Lightroom user, there is functionality in there to load a gpx file and tag your photos although I think that would only be stored against in the LR catalogue and attached to any exported jpgs. I donāt think that updates the original source file so if you move away from LR in the future thereās a chance you might need to re-tag with something else (presuming youāve kept the original gpx trail).
Can I say how happy I was to hear all the Katie Floyd references!!! Oh what she would have said to our David as he lovingly drank (as we all do) from the Apple kool aid! This is the episode that finally allowed me to enjoy Stephen in all his glory! I have been listening and itās been fine, but our guys are rockinā it now. Looking forward to more like this. Last episode threw me back a little less than $300! Thanks to @bowline for all discount heads up! Best to you all!
I was thinking about some of the more user-friendly creative apps. Photo and audio apps come to mind. Youāre right though ā¦ that was a bad example.
@MacSparky Yes, those would be nice. Especially Photoshop (or On1). But, as you pointed out, without an improved Files app it aināt gonna work!
Ok. Iām jumping up & down. Youāll never know how you, Katie, Rose & Stephen have enriched my Mac life! Thank you! This Discourse group has been just a blessing to all of us like-minded folk. Focused has really blossomed too. Iāve always enjoyed Mike. Wishing you all the best!
@ismh86 your currency formatting challenge sounds like a job for PopClip. Highlight the text, PopClip appears, send it to TextSoap to clean it up.
Or, craft your own PopClip extension to remove currency formatting for you.
Whether all this works out or not, PopClip is still really handy.
Hey guys @MacSparky @ismh86 , love ya work ā¦ but ā¦ one small tiny request. At first I let it slide but it has turned up more than once now. Please stop using ādrugā as the past tense of ādragā. If you did drag something in the past you ādraggedā it. A drug is a pharmaceutical or other not so legal substance. Just trying to help.
According to Mariam-Webster drug is also the ādialectal past tense of dragā. So itās a bit regional, but acceptable use.
Iām from the south so just be happy I donāt pronounce it as if it has 3 syllables.
Exactly. Some people just gottaā dance with them what brung you.
Iām from the east, and they say drug here too.
ā about 240 miles east
Holy moly! I stand corrected then. Iām guessing youāre all fine with ādove into the waterā rather then ādived into the waterā also? Looks like Iāll have to be drug kicking and screaming into the world of āinternational Englishā.
Yep. And next thing ya know youāll be saying āyāallā like the rest of us!
Not quite done with the episode but wanna chime in. David and Stephen talked about software that has its own ecosystem that stores stuff within it. Scrivener, Photos, and DayOne come to mind. Then thereās Lightroom which allows for stuff to be stored outside the software but managed by it.
Iām a Lightroom and Photos user. Photos handles all my iOS photos and videos. Makes cloud syncing easy too. Lightroom has my mobile photos too (through a Dropbox and Hazel system but I need to evaluate this as itās been a while) along with my personal photos taken on digital cameras. My Lightroom photos are over 700gb. Not sure about my Photos library. I guess my rambling point is that though cloud services are awesome Iād want backups of important data like my photos. Curious if people feel the same way or if Iām out of touch?
