Daminion 4.0 – inexpensive digital asset management (DAM) software with near-perfect tagging capabilities Seattle, WA July 2015 Daminion Software unveils Daminion 4.0, an affordable digital asset management (DAM) software solution for small teams and self-employed professionals. The new release comes with 2 major improvements: better protection for your digital content, and improved descriptive capabilities. In addition, there are several other minor but very important improvements.

By selecting a particular picture (logotype, photo, etc.) Daminion 4.0 can find all brochures, banners, ads and other artwork that makes use of the selected image. Some minor Improvements - Improved support for Mac clients who work with Daminion via Parallels Desktop - Works faster with huge catalogs containing more than 500k files - File mask function allows files to be excluded from import - Filenames containing numbers can be sorted as in Windows Explorer - Added the “Shift Date and Time..." command - Added Synonyms for the Project tag - Expanded functionality of REST API commands - Improved filtering including locking some search criterions - Properties panel can now display properties of selected files in Tray and Linking panels. - User interface now available in Italian ’The latest release was developed almost entirely on the basis of our customers’ feature requests,’ said Alex Syukosev, Technical Director at Daminion Software.
