Archive

• Open Folder… (⌘O), in the File menu, opens a folder without starring it. A folder dropped on the window opens too.
• Each photo's settings live in a small file beside it, which travels with the photo when you move its folder.
• Pick the folder of your scans, not your whole disk: before reading a whole disk or your home folder, the app asks.
• It reads camera RAW files through LibRaw, linear DNG and TIFF scans, 16-bit TIFFs of 45 megapixels and more, and JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP and WebP.
• A folder with Nikon High Efficiency RAW files (HE or HE* NEF) offers to convert them to lossless DNGs beside them, through Adobe DNG Converter, free from Adobe. When it is missing, ONI downloads it from Adobe, about 1.8 GB, and opens its installer.
• Once the DNGs are written, keep them alone, the NEF files moved to the Trash, or keep both, the better choice if you already opened them in another app.

• Parent goes up one folder; the pill beside it names the folder you stand in, and a click on it jumps to any folder above. At the very top, your home folder and every disk.
• A folder on a disk that is unplugged stays in the list, marked out of reach, and comes back with its disk.
• Beside an open photo the list keeps a height of its own, unfolded down to the photo's folder.

• The gallery and the editor each remember their own layout.
• In the gallery, Show the Selected Photo, in the File menu, scrolls to the open or selected photo.
• The gallery's grid shows six or twelve photos a row: ⌘− and ⌘+, Smaller and Larger Thumbnails in the View menu, switch between them.

• Coming back to the window after working in another app, the opened folder is looked at again on its own.
• A photo whose original went missing, on an unplugged disk or after a move, stays in the archive, greyed, and is never removed on its own.

• A right click on a folder offers Open, Add to Favourites, Rename…, Make a Roll or Back to a Folder, New Folder Inside, and Remove from Library…, which forgets the folder and touches no file.
• A folder out of reach also offers Locate…, to follow it where it went.
• Move into a New Roll… moves your photos into a new folder, after asking, and ⌘Z puts them back.

• In the gallery a click selects; select a roll or a project and its own facts fill the column on the right.
• Beside an open photo the column follows it, unfolded down to the photo's folder.

• Add to Project and Remove from Project are on the same right click. Adding a photo that sits in another project asks first, since it leaves that one.
• A project left empty stays, with its name and description; Delete Project, on its right click, removes it after asking, never its photos.
• A project never moves a file: your photos stay where the archive has them.

• The key reads Make this folder a roll when you selected a whole folder, and Move into a new roll otherwise, which moves the photos into a new folder after asking.
• The photos must come from one folder; the guide says so when they do not.
• Nothing is made before you press the key. Next, Prepare the Roll measures the roll.

• Move into a New Roll… names a roll after the earliest capture date of its photos.
• A roll's row in the folder list wears its film stock's icon.
• A roll not measured yet says so at the top of the column, over a PREPARE THE ROLL… key.

What this roll was shot on — never guessed, only ever what a hand picks.

• Picking a colour stock lays its dyes, Kodak, Fuji, Generic, ECN-2 or E-6, on every frame of the roll, as the Roll tab's dyes; a black and white stock has none.
• Its icon marks the roll in the folder list.
• It fills the Film field of your exports' EXIF.

When the roll was actually shot. Organisational only — never a photo's own capture date.

The body this roll was shot on, hand-entered — never read off a scan's own EXIF.

• It fills the Camera field of your exports' EXIF.

• No stock set yet means none of the project's rolls has a stock picked.

• Each photo moves with its sidecar and the files other apps keep beside it.
• ⌘Z puts them back, and removes the folder when nothing else lies in it.
• The photos must come from one folder.
• A folder that already holds a whole film becomes a roll in place: Make a Roll, on its right click.

• A folder made a roll turns back into a plain folder with Back to a Folder, on its right click.

• It asks first: the roll's measurement and every setting of the look go, and a frame shot in RGB passes splits back into its three shots.
• A contact sheet of the roll goes to the ONI Trash.
• ⌘Z brings it all back, and Prepare the Roll measures the rolls again.

• The digits are off while you type in a field, so typing a name never labels a photo.
• In the gallery the filter also stands in the bar, in words: ALL, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD. Each shows exactly that label.
• In the status bar, a click on the label a single photo already wears takes it off; on several photos, they all take the one you click.

• In the File menu, on a right click, and as the red key of the gallery's bar; ⌘Z takes it back.
• Open the ONI Trash to see its photos, newest first, whatever folder or disk holds them. Restore (⇧⌘⌫) puts the selected ones back in their folder, roll and project.
• The RESTORE key on the ONI Trash's row restores every photo in it, after asking.
• In the editor, moving the open photo to the ONI Trash goes on to the roll's next frame.
