Applescript & Aperture -- useful?

garycurtis · Apr 24, 2014

I'm a 1 year user of Aperture and am comfortable and fast with it.

Who on earth needs to use Applescript in conjunction with Aperture? What chores does it automate?

I too use Aperture and have not found a need to use AS for anything yet, but I can where it would be helpful automating things if you were a power user.

If you open Applescript Editor then do shift-command-o to open the AS Dictionary and select Aperture it will show you the AS functions available in Aperture. Maybe that will give you a feel for some of the uses people would have.

I need an Applescript that will alert me when Aperture 4 is available.

I am starting to give up hope.

I played a bit with the AS Editor and looked at the commands relevant to Aperture. The date (EXIF) adjuster is about the only one that seems useful to me.

Thanks.

I guess if you need to do a batch change but in all honesty I've not seen a need to use AS in my Aperture workflow.
