HoudahGeo 1.4.13 improves versatility of image metadata loading. It will now correctly read timestamps from DNGs created using Lightroom or Adobe’s DNG Bridge.
Caveat: Adobe's DNG converter supposes that both the computer and the camera share the same time zone. The computer time zone information is embedded in the DNG at the time of the conversion. From then on camera time zone settings are ignored as the information attached to the image takes precedence. Always make sure computer and camera time zones match when converting from RAW to DNG.

Under Mac OS X Tiger, it was not possible to save HoudahGeo documents.

Enhancement: Google Earth Export
HoudahGeo no longer uses elements deprecated in the most recent version of the KML specification.

HoudahGeo did not always respect the time zone offset specified in input images. It then incorrectly applied the user configured offset to a timestamp that should be understood in GMT time zone. This resulted in a repeated shift of timestamps

Bug fix: Camera clock error
In some situations, HoudahGeo did not use the latest settings for "camera clock error".

Bug fix: Stall of Flickr export
On occasion, when uploading an image to Flickr failed, HoudahGeo did not proceed to the next one but stalled.

Bug fix: Media browser
The media browser could crash while loading certain Aperture libraries.

Bug fix: CSV track log import
HoudahGeo would crash if it failed to correctly parse a CSV track log file.

Some images were displayed sideways in Google Earth.

Bug fix: Google Earth Geocoding
Google Earth synchronization is now switched off when the Google Earth Geocoding window is dismissed.

CAVEAT
The current Google Earth 4.3 beta has a bug which prevents it from displaying images embedded in KMZ files. If you want to display KMZ files generated by HoudahGeo, you should keep a copy of Google Earth 4.2 around.

There is now an option to disable machine tags when uploading to Flickr.

Enhancement: Improved Google Earth Geocoding
Google Earth geocoding now tries to preserve zoom level, heading and tilt when flying to a new location. Hint: Adjust the "fly to" speed in Google Earth preferences for faster relocation.

Enhancement: Improved Google Earth Geocoding
When selecting an already geocoded image, Google Earth automatically flies to the location of that picture. Note: This feature requires Google Earth 4.3 beta.

Bug fix: Time zone abbreviations
Specifying camera time zone by abbreviation or GMT offset did not work. GMT time zone was used. This is now fixed.
