Update

PhotoSync 4.9.5 for iOS released

  • NEW The Live Photo format can now be configured for better interoperability with other platforms. The following options are available:
    • Apple (2 Files): Transfers the Live Photo in Apple’s native format. A photo file (JPEG/HEIC) and a video file (MOV) will be transferred. Best suited format for Apple platforms. This is the default option.
    • Motion Photo (JPEG): Transfers a JPEG file with embedded video. Best suited option for other mobile platforms and Windows computers. Note: The photo will always be converted to JPEG, and the video to H264 format.
    • Apple + Motion Photo: Transfers both the Apple native format and Motion Photo.
  • NEW This version introduces a different unique identifier implementation for keeping track of photos that are either new or already transferred. This approach should be more reliable, even after major iOS upgrades and restores from iCloud.
  • NEW You can now define custom tags under Transfer Settings → Automatic Tagging → Custom Tags; these tags will be embedded as IPTC keywords.
  • NEW More flexibility for selecting Autotransfer source albums. Besides selecting specific user or smart albums as sources for Autotransfer, it is now also possible to include all user albums or all smart albums.
  • NEW For custom formats (filenames, subdirectories), string functions such as substr, replace, trim, upper, lower, and split can be used.
    This advanced feature must be activated in "Expert Settings" first.
  • NEW You can now select a "Metadata Mode" in the transfer settings. "Standard Mode" re-encodes image data when embedding metadata, while "Lossless Mode" (experimental) preserves image data whenever possible.
  • NEW Added a Smart Album for "Spatial videos". "Spatial" can now be used for automated tagging or as custom file format (%SP) for subdirectory creation.
  • NEW PhotoSync Camera now allows the selection of video frame rates, offering 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps options. Higher frame rates will be added in future updates.
  • NEW Added support for the new SmugMug API. With a SmugMug Source subscription, PhotoSync now also supports uploading RAW files.
  • NEWServices can now be entirely deactivated for sending and/or receiving via MDM (PhotoSync Configurator)
  • Fixed: When transferring files to SMB servers that do not support case-sensitive filenames, files could be overwritten.
  • Fixed: An issue where the "Keep Timezone" option was not applied to the embedded changed date metadata.
  • Fixed: An issue that, in certain cases, prevented the listing of shares on SMB servers.
  • Fixed: Resolved crash issues that occurred during transfers when both encryption and HEIC-to-JPEG conversion were enabled.
  • Fixed: Enhanced handling of the "Allow overwrite = none" setting when transferring to encrypted targets or NAS destinations with case-insensitive file systems.
  • Fixed: The TIFF file format is now preserved when the "Metadata Embedding" option is enabled.
  • Fixed: Transfer of files >4GB from USB cameras connected over PTP/MTP (e.g., newer GoPro Hero models).
  • Fixed: Incorrectly exported rclone encryption config when filename encryption is disabled.
  • Fixed: Resolves crash issues that could occur when reloading the photo library.
  • Fixed: Enhanced compatibility with some WebDAV servers that support setting a custom file date.
