Just remember to back up your libraries before doing anything.

Can someone please tell me that they get their life back later on.

Not a chance Bry, you get old and lazy and then start your own company, and spend the rest of your days, working 7 days a week.. drinking to much beer :P

Doom, it's all Doom, form now on, DOOM! Do you understand Brian ? DOOM. When you get you life back your old like Ken, drink bucket loads (like Ken) to frazzle any or most of the Doom and any impending doom that the kids bring. They tell me that the kids breed, and the whole cycle starts again, should have "Zapped the bloody PRAM!"

Later on it's the nursing home, :mosking:

Love Mick

Ken's so old he's forgotten how to have fun, is all ;) Yes, it does get better Brian! 3 kids 9, 11 and 13. The 13 year old is quite mature and is good for short babysitting stints. But don't forget to enjoy them while they're young :)

Sorry guys I haven't managed to get the app as yet, been so busy with sailing, were gearing up for race week, which is next week, so I will more than likely try to get it on the machine over the next few days. I have fully catalogued my aperture 3 library over the past weeks, thousands of pictures now happily filed by their meta data dates with descriptions secondary.

Plan is to further define with face recognition, but that will mean going over every picture again, good job for a rainy non going out day. It will be interesting to see how the app performs.

Now here is a question, would it be something automator could do?

Find copies and delete any without messing up the filing system?

Alex, where are you?

Mick :). :). :)

Yes, all $ 9.03 of it, did what it was meant to do, interestingly the app gave you a choice of deleting the masters as well as the duplicates or just the duplicates
