Sandy Hello Sandy, here are my replies:
1) Correct, in the video Birthday was an album name. You can add files from certain folders to album (or tag) and then add it to the filter, then you will be searching among those files ony.
2) That should not be the reason. Limitation is affecting number of the people you can work with, but not the amount of photos per person. So this should be somtehing else. Are you sure you accepted all the suggestion that program proposed? I guess those photos were just not accepted yet. They will show in personal album, but will not be shown in filter until you accept.
4) I am not Photoshop expert so I cannot be 100% sure, but I guess that it stores Keywords in the file metdata and Tonfotos reads them as tags. Tonfotos can use Tags in both search and filters.
5) This has nothing to do with free version. In Tonfotos we call Tags very specific metadata records that are stored inside image itself. Those are pretty standartized and are well understood by hundreds of other applications. So if you write Tags to file by Tonfotos, other applicaitons will be able to read it, and vice versa. As to Finder tags, this feature is only specific to your computer, and it is not stored in the image itself, it is stored somewhere in Finder’s own database. When you share this file with others, this data will not be transfered with the file, unlike tags stored in metadata. So this aproach is very limited and could not be consiedered as long-term solution for image organizing. Technically we can consider reading tags from Finder too, but so far this is not implemented.
6) I am not sure what exctly you were using to search for dogs. Tonfots does not have that functionality.
