TidBITS: iPhoto 2 Steps into the Frame
In this week's issue of TidBITS, Adam Engst offers his take on iPhoto 2. He says:
Some people will find the addition of AppleScript support particularly welcome, though I haven't been able to confirm how complete it is. It looks, for instance, as though you can read the date of a photo via a script, but you can't change it, something you can do to a single photo (but not multiple photos) in iPhoto's interface. Since digital cameras sometimes lose track of the correct date, a script that set dates for multiple images would be helpful.He goes on to say that iPhoto 2 is a must-have upgrade for current iPhoto users.
