Daminion 4.0 - inexpensive digital asset management software with near-perfect tagging capabilities

SEATTLE - July 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Daminion Software unveils Daminion 4.0, an affordable digital asset management (DAM) software solution for small teams and self-employed professionals. The new release comes with 2 major improvements: better protection for your digital content, and improved descriptive capabilities. In addition, there are several other minor but very important improvements.

Major Improvements

-         Daminion 4.0 protects the existing tag structure (taxonomy) from unwanted changes when importing new files with embedded IPTC/XMP metadata. All tags that are imported from file metadata can now be approved by default or manually by an administrator user.

-         You can now define relationships between documents and images and quickly find and view all related artwork and projects. By selecting a particular picture (logotype, photo, etc.) Daminion 4.0 can find all brochures, banners, ads and other artwork that makes use of the selected image.

Some minor Improvements

-         Improved support for Mac clients who work with Daminion via Parallels Desktop

-         Works faster with huge catalogs containing more than 500k files

-         File mask function allows files to be excluded from import

-         Filenames containing numbers can be sorted as in Windows Explorer

-         Added the “Shift Date and Time...” command

-         Added Synonyms for the Project tag

-         Expanded functionality of REST API commands

-         Improved filtering including locking some search criterions

-         Properties panel can now display properties of selected files inTray and Linking panels.

-         User interface now available in Italian

’The latest release was developed almost entirely on the basis of our customers’ feature requests,’  said Alex Syukosev, Technical Director at Daminion Software. ‘Our users expressed a desire for more diverse tagging and the ability to link all files to the projects in which they are used, and we were more than happy to oblige.’
