New in Tropy 1.10

  • New way of linking your photos! In the past, if you've wanted to be able to move your photos around, you had to follow a somewhat hackneyed process to create what we were calling a portable project. We've gotten rid of portable projects in favor of a much easier solution--you can now using relative paths or absolute paths.

New in Tropy 1.7

  • Copy and paste items with metadata: Tropy now allows you to items using JSON-LD.

  • JSON-LD import: You can now files as Tropy items.

  • Archive plugin: You can now (photos, metadata, and notes) into a zip archive that you can transfer to another device or user.
