Sync photos from Aperture to iPhoto
Authored by: Unsoluble on Jul 31, '06 03:47:59PM

That AppleScript is pretty much exactly what I've been looking for for quite some time -- thanks!

Unless I'm missing something, though, it seems like you have to manually sync each and every project, one at a time. With my library of about 100 projects, in various nested folders, this is a major pain in the rear. If this script could be tweaked to simply go ahead and sync all of 'em, that'd be awesome. :)

Hmm. I just re-read the instructions page, and it definitely says things like "select one or more albums" but neither Shift-clicking nor Command-clicking seem to make multiple selections... Hmm...

The script wont let you select multiple projects/folders in the first dialog that it brings up, but if you have nested albums/projects within this first level project/folder, it should let you select more than one using shift/cmd. If you still have trouble, send me a snapshot of how your folder organization looks in aperture, and I'll see if I can reproduce the problem... My email address is in the script itself..

Ahhh, cool. That works very well.

Curious -- why not on the first list? My less-than-stellar AppleScript interpreting seems to suggest that it should work there, as it's got the "with multiple selections" bit...

Oh, nevermind, I am dumb. The "with multiple selections" line is in the sub-projects routine thingy.

Sure - I agree...having the ability to sync up the whole aperture library would be much simpler... I am currently working on enhancing this script to be more smart and actually achieve sync, i.e. remove pics from the iPhoto albums when they are removed from the corresponding Aperture albums and more... - and as a part of this "sync" functionality, it will also support sync-ing the entire Aperture library...

Another feature request, though I'm not sure if it's even possible: Any chance it could send iPhoto the current select for a stack, instead of the master? Since anyone shooting in RAW will be likely tweaking 95% of their shots, the iPhoto versions are going to be sub-par...

Good idea...I agree - I've found myself going back and deleting the non-selects from a stack manually... and it gets tiring quite easily :-). I'll have to look into that one...

Hmm... After actually going ahead and doing a bunch of exports to iPhoto, I'm noticing that the script is definitely sending all versions, not just the masters as the comments inside the script suggest. Is this not normal?

Same behavior here : all versions are sent to iPhoto.
Would it be possible to only send the top picture of the stack ?

Anyway, thanks for your great job !
