Other features in my wishlist for version 2.0: We can asign most of regular actions to a keyboard shortcut. It's a pity that I can't drag an image when viewing it to projects in the sidebar. It's also a bit delay when scrolling on a long list of folders. Pixa can do better with Live Folder by making it auto collapse and expand when user click it to keep the sidebar neater and easier for user to navigate. This feature works fast and auto-update within few seconds after changes in Finder. After realise it doesn't have that, I remove it.

I've bought the new cool kid Pixave on App Store. I wish they did a bit of a visual refresh tho.Īnd if you're wondering I don't work at Pixa/Shiny Frog. Its great for times when you want to jump around your library but keep certain things open at the same time.Īll of these features keep me using Pixa. It's like a meta folder that references anything in your library in any place, that allows you to create a mood board without having to duplicate files or create a new folder in your source folder structure - trust me its sweet.Ĭ: Tabs You can have multiple tabs open that display different folders or projects. your all looking at the same stuff and adding to the same library.ī: Projects So your working on a new project and you want to collect some samples from your library to keep you focused and inspired. This is also sweet for teams, you can have a shared source library on dropbox and everyone runs pixa. This is great as you can organise things the way you like drop in images directly into Pixa or into the folder structure, and pow it's all good homies. Pixa allows you to create your own folder structure in dropbox or whatever and it simply references the contents in that folder. If that developer stops supporting the app or if the library gets corrupted your pretty screwed - back in the day i used iPhoto and that burnt me several times.

Apps that create their own little library piss me off. I'll admit the UI and the feature set hasn't changed in a pretty long time but it has a few features that make it win over every thing else for me.Ī: Live Folders. I've been using Pixa for a couple of years.
