Release
Archyv 1.4.3
A fix release for Species Tagging. Nothing else changes.
The species search works on every install
The built-in species list was not included in previous releases, so on a fresh install the Species Tagging search returned nothing at all. The list now ships inside the app, so the search works straight away, and future releases that carry an updated list replace the old one on their own.
Better common names, in a better order
- Each species now gets the common name most sources agree on, instead of whichever one happened to be listed first. Geoffroy’s spider monkey is now “Black-handed Spider Monkey”.
- When a species and its subspecies all match your search, the species itself is listed first.
- Names with accents or a curly apostrophe, such as “Wallace’s Tarsier” or “Yucatan Cracker”, are found when you type them the normal way.
- A species known by more than one common name shows all of them on one line, for example “Mexican Wolf (also: Mexican Grey Wolf)”.
Your existing keywords and captions are safe
- Pressing Select None and then Start no longer clears a photo’s existing keywords, caption or headline. If nothing is selected to write, the photo is skipped and the log says so.
- Video and image formats that cannot hold metadata (AVI, MKV, WebM, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MTS, BMP) are skipped with a note, instead of being reported as failures.
- The run log now states the real write mode for each field: Keywords honour your Append or Replace choice, while Caption, Title and Headline are always replaced.
Small clarity improvements
- The list now says “First 50 matches, keep typing to narrow” when a search hits the limit.
- The Scientific Name / Common Name switch is labelled “Show as:”, since it only changes which name is shown large.
- An info icon beside “Darwin Core taxonomy fields” explains that those boxes choose which classification levels go into Keywords, Caption and Headline as well as the Darwin Core fields.
- If the species list ever cannot be loaded, the search says so instead of showing “No matches”.
What to do: nothing. Install the update and search as usual. If you have tagged photos with Species Tagging before, you may want to re-run it on any where the common name came out in the wrong language.
