ok Mr Brew, thanks for a quick reply!.
Yep, I need to replace the PPC, in fact a 10 year old G4 thats used as a file server.
The ipad is, could be?, maybe already is? a great tool for photogs,..... but as i've only had the thing a couple of weeks now and its forcefully become a replacement for a MBP that died (video/motherboard... not worth the cost of repair) i have been struggling to understand the logic behind the many restrictions placed upon it by Apple. Your app is a great start, believe me. What has been driving me crazy is how in the hell to get stuff back off onto the mac??? itunes for me is non-starter, its just not happening! all this syncing then trashing and re syncing to delete files! its a joke. So, I like your app, and at least it respects the file names and I can FTP back to the mac with transmit. great. I have been using Filterstorm pro to edit and send with FTP and mail to various clients on the go during shoots, and after time with both apps, would love for snitch to be able to adjust exposure maybe? crop and resize to whatever... this having to be done in FSpro. I don't like the way backups turn out via itunes and FSpro, I have to send stuff to Getty and I have the problem with the filenames mismatch.... snitch would be better but I can't crop in snitch. Also, it does not support group email sending, another small but time consuming problem when emailing on the ipad. Right now have just discovered probably the best method to download pictures (from photos app)... someting that was beyong me with itunes) and videos FROM the ipad to the mac, all macs have the damn app installed from the factory, its called 'image capture' it detects the ipad and downloads all pics and vids from the ipad photo app!!!! this is way better than itunes. Why apple don't tell anyone about this is just insane, but anyway there it is, I can now download movies made with imovie on the ipad with no effort.
The last note; It seems apple want us to keep the ipad as an expensive gadget, and because of the music and movie industry they have placed so many restrictions on what could be a great tool, for me its lighter, has a great battery and is nearly there with regard to transmitting pics. I love snitch, and would love to be able to use just 1 app in my workflow, so hopefully (kneeling to pray...) apple will lift the restrictions.... otherwise its gonna get hacked again next week when I have some time.
