In this update First Contact now reads metadata from your images. Color tags and star ratings can now be shown in the image label, including several options for the display style. The metadata now powers image sorting, allowing photos to be sorted after import, including the ability to manually order in the sidebar.
Finally there are the requisite unspecified Bug Fixes & Improvements.
