Below is a list of changes made to Photo Mechanic for Version 4.5.3.2, released August 5, 2008.

This version is available as a free update for registrations good through March 2007.

• (Mac) Added support for as-shot RAW rendering using ImageIO on Mac OS X 10.5.3 forthe Nikon D60, Olympus E-3, and the Sony DSLR-A200 and DLSR-A350.
  
• (Mac) Restored speed of browsing and ingesting flash cards due to Mac OS X 10.5.3update.
  
• Added support for reading Nikon's frame number from maker notes of newer cameras.
  
• Added the ability to synchronize the color class value with the IPTC/XMP Urgency field. This provides color label compatibility support for Nikon Capture NX 2 and other applications that use the IPTC/XMP Urgency field for non-standard purposes.
  
• Sound files (.WAV) that are named "SND_xxxx.WAV" are now attached to photos that have the same frame number as part of their filename (e.g. "IMG_xxxx.JPG").
  
• (Win) Fixed issue in IPTC Info dialog where there were two date controls instead of a single date and single time control.
  
• (Win) Holding down the Shift key when opening the Page Setup dialog causes the current Default Printer to be acquired.
  
• Ingest now ignores folders that begin with a period ('.').
  
• The IPTC Info dialog now correctly saves the IPTC Date and Time when set to Capture Time or Modification Time.
  
• Applying an IPTC Stationery Pad with Capture Time or Modification Time now works properly. Doing so now also sets the IPTC Time as well as the IPTC Date.
  
• Spaces are now inserted between the command and the next keyword in the Keywords field.
  
• The JPEG quality setting now works properly on the entire set of Uploader templates.
  
• (Win) Fixed problem with cursor positioning when using Code Replacement on a text field with multiple lines.
  
• (Mac) Fixed a problem with temporary filenames being too long when copying photos to a Windows server using AFP.
  
• (Mac) On Leopard, applying the Color Class via keyboard shortcut would apply the setting multiple times. This has been fixed.
  
• (Mac) The Color Class snapshot button in the General tab of the Preferences dialog now works correctly.
  
• (Mac) Fixed a problem in Save As where the saved filename would have a .JPG.TIF extension when TIFF was the chosen output and the source was a RAW photo of a RAW+JPEG pair.
  
• (Win) Structured keywords help file is now correct.
  
• Sorting by {lens} now works properly for focal lengths greater than or equal to 100.
  
• Added code to recover from missing settings data from Export and Uploader templates.
  
• XMP settings for Adobe Camera Raw are no longer embedded into JPEGs (e.g. when updating XMP from a RAW file to its JPEG pair).
  
• XMP sidecar files are no longer transferred when FTP As is used on a RAW file to upload a JPEG or TIFF.
