Lightroom user and love charts? Try this little program

http://tweakers.net/ext/f/DrTOihLSrJOs6ViK3henlokS/full.png

Webstart: click here

The program needs local machine access, so you'll get a warning screen:

(mac)
http://tweakers.net/ext/f/VbmxtOdDHgPyFM9dVQk8IOx2/full.png
(windows)

If its the first time you run a JavaFX program, an extra popup will ask for install permission.

Usage:
Open your lightroom catalog with the open catalog button
http://tweakers.net/ext/f/3wuR7eOZnLe4zna4R1cLYjKe/full.png

When openen you'll directly see the cameras used pie chart. With the menu on the right side you can select other charts.

The program will remember your last opened catalog and size. Lightroom catalog file is only read, never written.
Webstart and JavaFX need at least a java 1.5 but preferable 1.6.

Any other wishes and/or ideas?

Very nice tool! Nice graphics too! :)

The options I would appreciate for a next version are:
- Focal length graph
- Time based line-graph (so you can see in which months you made most of your photos)
- Possibility to select a small part of the database to be analysed (based on camera, lens or date for example)
- Exporting graphs and editing the styles and colours of the graphs

Just to give you some ideas of what could be added to this already great tool! ;)

I love the idea, but the execution could be better. Some idea's i think of to make it better:

1. some of the text is running through each other, maybe you can split it out, or write it out next to the chart, with color representing each pie chart.
2. when i click ISO or Aperture tab, it kills the program in an exception.
3. maybe you can include a bar chart. i think it's more useable than a pie chart, especially if you include a focal length chart.
4. A focal length chart!
5. why is there always 1 digit when it is all about whole images. 110.0 images is the same as 110

Magic, how many photos do you have in your catalog?

By Tweakers user Magic, Thursday 15 October 2009 20:18

i've got a stacktrace right here:

Woah, wat is dat voor een venster?!

Is dat een Mac OS X? Met een venster vrijwel gelijk aan het venster waarmee ze Microsoft voor gek zetten in hun reclamespotje? (2007, titel: "Security")

Dit kan niet waar zijn. Vertel me dat ik iets over het hoofd zie, want zo hypocriet kan zelfs Apple niet zijn...

By Tweakers user qless, Thursday 15 October 2009 20:58

Euh heb het toch niet gephotoshoped ;) Standaard java webstart melding dus...de windows versie staat er ook bij :)

By Tim, Thursday 15 October 2009 21:12

Oh, ik zie het nu, inderdaad! Het staat ook helemaal niet in de vensters zelf.

I stand corrected. Apple treft dus eigenlijk geen blaam.

(Niet dat ik noodzakelijkerwijs iets tegen "cancel or allow"-vensters heb. Ik was alleen nogal verbaasd.)

Magic, probably you used even more different apertures than I have so the chart gets to big, will check it

By Tweakers user Krisp, Friday 16 October 2009 07:08

It isn't possible to choose another disk for the catalog file. Is it a bug, or is it a feature? ;)

By Tweakers user Magic, Friday 16 October 2009 08:52

@qless: I probably have used them all. But the problem also appears when choosing ISO, For which there aren't really that much flavors.

If you need me to test/check on something, just let me know.

Wat een geinig tooltje!

Klein bugreport: http://dan.banaan.org/tmp/lrstats-lenses.png : Iedere lens komt twee keer voor, zo te zien; bijv "85.0 mm" en "EF85 mm f/1.8 USM" en "17.0-50.0 mm" en "17-50mm".

Dannr, ook toevallig begonnen met LR 1.x en dan de catalog overgezet naar LR 2.x, of de lenzen op verschillende bodys gebruikt?

By Tweakers user qless, Friday 16 October 2009 11:02

Krisp, I can open a catalog on a different drive with Mac and Win 7, what OS do you use?

By Tweakers user Dannr, Saturday 17 October 2009 12:23

qless: Jep, op LR 1.0 begonnen, nu op LR 2.x. Ook verschillende camera's, trouwens, maar allemaal Canon (350D/20D/40D), dus daar zal het toch haast niet aan liggen?

Dannr, het is of verschil tussen LR 1/2 geweest (denk het niet) of dat bijvoorbeeld een 350D (ben ik ook mee begonnen) het anders in de EXIF noteerd dan een 30D
