Goodbye PixVue

I’ve been using PixVue to edit metadata on my digital photos for a couple of years now. It’s been a good piece of software, all the more remarkable in that it was free. It had a few limitations – it didn’t support the emerging metadata standard of IPTC4XMP, and it didn’t run on Windows Vista. But I thought I’d keep an eye on the web site to see whether Eamonn Coleman, the developer, would be bringing out a new version.

Alas, when I visited the site today, this is what I found. (Note: at the time, there was a notice to say that the software was no longer being developed. The website has now been taken down completely)

Say it isn’t so…
