A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v8.3
(29 May 2020)

Fix:

All 'http://marc.vos/net/...' URLs changed into 'https'.

That made geotagging work again.

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v8.2
(15 May 2020)

Fix:

Keyword-entry is now handled correctly, when entering each keyword on a new line and/or separated by commas and/or (semi)colons.

Keywords are also added again to the 'subject' attribute, which is used by Preview and other Mac apps.

Keywords are now sorted and de-duplicated automatically.

These changes were necessary, since I found out that a lot has changed since 2008/2011, in the programming language and the Mac apps.

New:

I dropped 32-bit support. Only the 64-bit application will be maintained.

Tussen de spullen van mij pa vond ik de Pravda uit 1986, met op de voorpagina de televisietoespraak door Michael Gorbatsjov (Mikhail Gorbachev) én de Nederlandse vertaling van dat artikel, gemaakt door mijn pa. Het artikel kan je lezen op cees.vos.net

Smart Archives

Smart Archives is a feature to speed up loading of your blog. Its goal is to store archive links locally in a file, and with future requests of your webpage, read that file instead of querying Google again. The file is updated once a day, so one of your website visitors may experience slower loading times, but only when you have more than 500 posts in your archives.

There are some important settings on the server to get this to work.

The Smart Archives feature assumes a subfolder 'files', which normally is created when publishing a Stacks-page:



This folder must be writable by Apache (the webserver).

If you use Panic's Transmit , then you can see if that is the case.
In the following examples, I will show you how that looks and how you can change it:

If Apache is mentioned as 'owner', the folder is writable and you do not have to change anything.

When Apache is mentioned as 'group', you have to click the empty circle for 'group' only, leaving the 'world'-circle empty, and click 'Apply' (do not click 'Apply to Enclosed'):


In my case, 'files' is not writable by Apache, because Apache is not mentioned as 'owner' or 'group', and 'world' may not write:


Click the empty circles under 'Write' to make the folder writable by 'group' and 'world' (i.e. any user), and click 'Apply' (do not click 'Apply to Enclosed'):


The Blogspot.stack checks if the subfolder 'files' is writable or not. If not, it will function normally as before, and pull the archives from Google on each webpage request.

v8.1
(09 January 2020)

Fix:
- Negative GPS coordinates are now handled correctly.


My ical/ics calendar file viewer ICS Viewer is updated to version 4.0

v4.0
Bug fixes:
- When the connection to MySQL fails, field mapping choices cannot be matched and the selected fields are invalid. But they were still visible as being matched and that was misleading.
- An empty message when no fields could be mapped at the time of a MySQL export.
