Export iPhoto library as links
Authored by: Max_B on Apr 06, '04 08:10:45PM

Self-comment:

For those who DO know about the pro and cons of symbolic links I'd say "go for it" , because :
- it save disk space: symlinks use no other space than the "inode", while aliases do for resource fork. It may sum-up for numerous files.
-the Finder (in Panther at least, don't remember on Jaguar) can preview symlinked files but not always aliases.

BTW: I also have another script for:
-restoring EXIF header messed by iPhoto/Quicktime/Image capture (they become unreadable by proprietary software like Canon's).
-manage colorsync (add/suppress profile).
All from inside iPhoto. This script needs some cleaning, comments, packaging before release. I'll do it, especially if there is some interest.

This is excellent - a good idea. Anything that enhances the integration of iPhoto with other apps is excellent
