This is an updated version of an older script.

Like the older one, this takes a text file containing version names, one-per-line with no file extensions.

Unlike the older version, it will prompt you to choose which Project to look for the versions in. This helps reduce the problem where you have multiple images spread across your Library, all with the same name.

Ian, Thank you for the response. I wanted to attach the WorkFlow file itself, but it looks like I can only send a jpg or text file. I have included a jpg of the workflow. -- Thanks Dick

I had a simple script working to export the latest version of each of my photos using the same folder structure I have for my projects and albums in Aperture.
However, I get a warning that Assistant is not tested on this version of Aperture (2.1.4) - I choose continue, then I get an error report after a 100 failed image exports. The error is "ACTION NODE 2 Export Version ERROR - image did not export!" - no information why.

Script is very simple:
Source node, with Other, my first project name, Tree structure, depth infinite and go into projects ticked
Action node: find all albums

Ian, another question:

If I import JPGs into Aperture, edit the Metadata and want to export the masters with embedded Metadata I can choose an AA Action with the following settings:

Action
Export
Export Master
Embed Metadata

This is the same procedure like using the export masters command. But it doesn't work - after exporting IPTC is not available in the exported file. Only using "create XMP sidecar files" works. Do you have any idea what to do?

Thank you

Hello Ian

thanks for your great tool - I use it very often, and it is a big help. One question: Is it possible to find and replace a "New Line" or CR character (the one you get with Enter/Return while writing in Aperture metadata sets?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Ian

Your tool may save me a lot of aggravation if it can do what I hope.

I've only just downloaded and started to play....

Having spent three days find and replacing Keywords for images in a project, could your product be used to automative the find and replace for multiple keywords?

Thanks

Tim

When iPhoto 9 added facial recognition features, some people complained about this feature not being in Aperture. I'd be surprised if this doesn't make it into Aperture 3 whenever that comes out, but for now here's a workaround, using the hidden 'fingerprint' stored in Aperture's Preview files.

1. In Aperture 2.1 or above, generate Previews of the images you want to ID. The Preview preferences must be set to share Previews with iLife etc.

I would like to import images from Apple Mail directly into Aperture. I found a script called Setup Mail Image Attachment Workflow but all it does is move the image to the Downloads folder and open
Aperture if it is not running and that is all. The image just stays in the Downloads folder. Also, this script is supposed to add IPTC metadata but it does not do this either. I am not familiar with scripting so not sure what may need to be edited to do what I want it to do. Can Aperture Assistant be configured to do this? Thanks, Mark
