I heard about Luminar 4, but I have not tried it. I also tried Dark Table (free software) and it does not suit my needs either. I tried "Photos" (Apple replacement for Aperture), but it misses several functions I liked to use (list below). The obvious candidate would be Adobe Lightroom, but I am not impressed by Adobe's revenue model.

I am still using Apple Aperture, but that software will not work if I buy a new mac. All I need to do is delete the old iPhoto library and files and I'm iPhoto free.I will need to replace my present image management software within a year or so. Once again, I copied " Rename using EXIF Date." and made my changes, and bunged it into the Annotations folder ( iView MediaPro -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> Shared Support -> Plugins ->Scripts -> Annotations), restarted iView MediaPro and stripped out all those "AppleMark" comments.Īll done. Time for AppleScript #2 - Remove AppleMark Description. This only appears to be for pictures without comments in iPhoto, but for which I'd made some tweaks using iPhoto. Whilst my rename script was doing it's magic, I noticed something else - several pictures had "AppleMark" as the only thing in the "Description" field. I selected all my photos, then my script and let it do it's magic. Tadaa, there was my script in "Files" section of the scripts. Once I had my script, I moved it to the scripts folder ( iView MediaPro -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> Shared Support -> Plugins ->Scripts -> Files) and restarted iView MediaPro. The tough bit was enhancing the script further to strip out all the punctuation and spaces, but I managed it. It took my "Headline" for each photo and set the filename to this. I started off my copying one of the provided scripts ( Rename using EXIF Date.) and within a couple of minutes I'd changed it to "Rename using Headline" and it did exactly that. I've never written AppleScript so this was a first for me.

Have no fear I thought, time to delve into a little bit of AppleScript. This would give me the most usable filenames for all platforms. I wanted the headline to be my filename for the pictures, without any punctuation, and all spaces replaced with "_". iPhoto's "Title" for each photo has been imported into the "Headline" field in iView MediaPro.

However, it doesn't come with a script to do what I wanted. IView MediaPro comes with some handy little AppleScripts to do mundane things like rename files based on the EXIF date, or set the picture as your desktop. As iPhoto doesn't actually change the filenames, I was left with the very "descriptive" DSG_12345.JPG for filenames.

My intentions are to ultimately move my photo collection onto an external disk that I will interchange between various operating systems, namely OS X, Windows (on very rare occasions), Ubuntu Linux and Solaris. One of the reasons for the move to iView Media Pro is I wanted to ensure the underlying filesystem and filenames were easily to navigate and understand, regardless of platform. Everything was pretty much as I like it, except for one thing - the filenames. I never did like the iPhoto directory structure.Īll done, well almost. Next, I arranged the photos into a directory structure of my liking. Thankfully nothing did and the copy was complete after a couple more hours. I wanted to keep my iPhoto library in tact just in case something went wrong. Next, I made copies of all the photos to a directory of my choice ( âŒ˜A -> Action -> Transfer to Folder -> Copy files and reset paths ->Choose Folder.). Once the import was complete, I could see all my photos in iPhoto and iView MediaPro. What a painless experience.įirst, I followed the instructions in the user guide to import my iPhoto library ( iViewMediaPro -> Getting Started. What a fantastic application - it's quick, easy to use and it will still allow me to edit my pictures in Photoshop or any other application I like, all without munching all my memory.Īfter a bit of playing, I finally bit the bullet and decided to migrate from iPhoto to iView MediaPro. It wasn't long until I found iView MediaPro. Starting iPhoto would take forever, and then it would proceed to use up a shed load of memory.

However, over time my collection of images got bigger and bigger and bigger still, and iPhoto just wasn't keeping up. I was quite impressed with it originally, and it seemed to fulfil all my requirements.

I've been using iPhoto to manage my pictures ever since I got my Mac Mini.
