- The following is content from the press release -
(Headquarters: Nagoya, Japan; President and Representative Director: Hiroyuki Maki; hereafter "Buffalo"), a Melco Holdings (TSE 6676) Group company, will release a free update of its digital photo album "OmoideBako" for Windows and Mac, following the smartphone version of the application, to improve photo organization functions. (President and Representative Director: Hiroyuki Maki, hereinafter referred to as "Buffalo"), will update the Windows/Mac version of the digital photo album "Omoide Bako" free of charge. This update will be available from today, Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
With this update, the Windows/Mac version of the application also has an "Album Group" function that allows grouping of "OmoideBako" albums, a "Calendar Hide Album" function that allows you to hide photos and videos in specific albums from the calendar and Omoide Stroll. In addition, the calendar can now display "All" without separating the year or the shooting date, and can also display a narrowed-down version of the calendar.
The "Album Group" function allows you to organize the growing number of albums in "OmoideBako" by grouping them together. For example, you can group albums such as "Sports Day", "Graduation Ceremony", and "Presentation" into an album group called "School Event". You can group albums such as "Sports", "Graduation", and "Presentation" into an album group called "School Events". This allows you to easily find the album you want to look at, and provides you with the pleasure of looking back at your photos as well as organizing them in Omoide Bako.
The "Hidden Albums" function prevents photos and videos that have been assigned to albums that have been set to be hidden from being displayed on the calendar or in Omoide Stroll. For example, you can put photos and videos that are not the main use of "Omoide Box" for family use, such as smartphone screenshots that you personally do not want to delete, or work-related photos that are not suitable for review by the whole family, into albums set to "Hidden Albums" and use "Omoide Box" as a storage location. You can use Omoide Bako as a storage place for photos and videos that are not the main use of Omoide Bako.
With this update, customers can now easily enjoy storing and organizing photos not only from their smartphones but also from various other devices, allowing them to choose the method that best suits their lifestyles.
Supported OS
Windows version Windows 10, 11
