Photo Mechanic is an image browser tool for the MAC - a fast and easy-to-use image browser. 

Facilities include batch captioning, renaming, speedy browsing, and Photoshop connectivity features. Images are displayed as thumbnails of photos on a camera disk or folder where you can easily rotate, preview, copy, delete, tag, rename, and add caption / keyword information to photos both individually and in batches.

Meta-data is used extensivly - standard image capture data like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length can be accessed through “variables” and tucked-away in any IPTC field such as the caption.

You can also use variables representing the current or capture time, date, or frame number, for example, for file renaming purposes. One variable - the sequence variable - can be used for sequential naming or to serialize certain IPTC fields.

The program has been updated to version 4.4.3.1.  What I can’t find though is a list of improvements over previous versions…
