Photo Diet 1.0.3

Photo Diet, for iPhoto 1.x, is an OS X AppleScript droplet for slimming down iPhoto libraries. It scans the library for unnecessary duplicate photos and moves them to the Trash and it includes several options. Changes in this version: Changed Debug mode to Log mode so it doesn't sound as sinister to non-programmers. Applescript version checking ensures that minimum requirements are met. Scanning empty folders no longer results in an error. Stray files located anywhere in the library are moved to the trash if "Remove orphans" is turned on.

In essence, it creates a multi-target launcher, via drag and drop, which users are able to edit later if the need arises.
