Subject: Re: Astro & Aperture

Hi Terrence;

I did not recommend it and I don't use it anyhow. Someone else did when I mentioned that Apple doesn't do demos of there software in nearly all cases.

As I pointed out, they can get Aperture (or other apps) to auto open the images that Astro IIDC creates without me having to change anything.

TTYL..

Milton,

I use Graphic converter if I want more power than iPhoto or

Appleworks. I also have Photoshop but never use it. I assume

Aperture competes with Photoshop.

It took almost a GB of space on the hard drive.

Thanks for the link.

I'll check it out when I can and have to block time off to work with

it.

Secondly, how many people are using it with Astro IIDC as I'm not

going to bother doing a whole bunch of code work for one Astro IIDC

license. It's not cost effective and there are many other things I

can be doing instead.

Yes through AppleScript, action and drop boxes form the Finder.

Without any work by you, then No. Firstly I can't afford Aperture

and

Apple offers no demos, even for developers. Secondly, I no longer

work

on anything except if I have it in house (Hardware or Software) to

test with. Thirdly, Apple doesn't list or publish the lists of verbs

and nouns used for Aperture scripting, so that we could send

messages

directly.

HTH..

Is there a way to make Astro IIDC automatically export grabbed
