A new version of SetEXIFData is now available:

v10.8
(25 Aug 2025)

New:

Converted text input for Document Name, Artist, Copyright, Filename pattern, and Camera- and Lensinfo into Combo-boxes, where the last 10 used entries will be saved.
To speed up startup, paths to the helper tools are now stored, and editable, in the 'Settings....' -> 'Various other settings'
In the Preview-window, you can now filter on EXIF tags, or their contents, to make it easier to check which ones are present.
Now also compiled for Linux and Windows.

Change:

All lists are modernized. With some, the dotted lines would disappear.
In the Preferences-window, under 'EXIF / IPTC / XMP Tags', the filter on tags has been modernized and improved.
Thumbnails of movie files are default taken at 4 seconds. Now, if a clip is shorter, a thumbnail at 0.5 second will be taken.
The default rename pattern has now been set to: '%d-%t-%x.%n', instead of underscores.
Changed the text 'Finder' into 'file', because of Linux and Windows versions.
The OS version in the 'About...' window now shows the complete name and version, instead of just a number.
Unknown tags under 'Other tags' are now printed in red.
Replaced the Paypal and Paddle buttons with a link to my webshop.

Fixed:

Thumbnails of files with single and/or double quotes in the name are now also generated.
Finding the path to the various utilities and not finding them, could result in storing the error message and stop further tries.
GPS coordinates are now written to movie files. In some cases this was not happening. Tested with .m4v, .mov, and .mp4
'Save as preset' would sometimes use the name of another preset.
Get the correct mime type for files with no extension or with extensions like '.jpg_original' or '.mp4_original'.
Tabbing through the rows in 'Other tags' is now possible.
In 'Other tags', the repeated adding of '?' for unknown tags is fixed.
In 'Other tags', the info text above the table is now correctly displayed in full.
Image and movie files with '_original' added by exiftool to the file's extension, are now also recognized when dragged onto the grid.
