Search and Replace 1.35 has just gone live with quite a few small improvements as well as some bug fixes. The main changes are:

• If only one item selected, you are now prompted to add all other visible items
• New commands to copy the filename to the title – with and without file extensions
• Parse and Audit now adds columns in the Library filter panel listing all the values in the “copy from” and “copy to” fields – handy when you’re checking what’s in those fields
• The keyword counter now goes much higher
• Improved error reporting through log file
• Corrected some translation errors
• Search Replace Transfer dialog box opens at last-used tab
• Fixed Lightroom 2 bug upon startup

Ever needed to time a shoot?  If you’ve got your iPad at hand then Perfect Timers could be the ideal solution.

Okay, we’ll admit that the link to photographic tools may be tenuous, but Perfect Timers is the first iOS application from our most prolific Lightroom-plugin developer, Timothy Armes, and we’re only too happy to give him some coverage!

Besides, it really is nice app….

Tim was frustrated when looking for a good timer app for his iPad – the applications he found were either lacking in the functionality he needed (multiple timers, overrun timing and the ability to easily add minutes to a running count down) or else unbearably ugly. Eventually Tim took it upon him self to help all those timer-less iPad-owning aesthetically-demanding souls out there, and thus Perfect Timers was born!

We occasionally get requests for invoices for the plugins that you buy (or donate towards).  Last week silently introduced the ability to get your invoice delivered to you automatically.

Fortunately we hadn’t made a big song and dance about this, because unfortunately we had an error in the generator that meant that the invoices had the wrong invoice number.

If you had downloaded an invoice before today then please download it again.  We’re really sorry about this inconvenience.
