Network Storage for Image Processing

I’ve been processing images with Hugin and other tools over the network since I upgraded to a Giga Ethernet Switch. Some performance details about existing technology.

Phil Harvey released exiftool 7.19 to correct an incompatibility with some TIFF-reading applications. This was enough reason to release new snapshot installers, even if the pace has slowed down a little bit. Harry is on holiday this week. OSX users will have to be patient.

Zoran’s return

He succeeded, but at the end of the summer his code had still performance issues. He kept improving it on his little [...]
