Hi, Barb. Thanks, but you see, the question is, does PE understand applescript? With applications that are applescript aware, you can automate a lot of things (kind of like photoshop actions) by writing scripts, like the one for your drive. Some third-party applications understand applescript and some don’t.
So I know that you can script things like image tagging that are actually done in the finder, but I’m hoping Rich or someone can tell me if it is possible to use scripts within PE.

Barb and Barbara: Have you checked the Adobe Photoshop Scripting forum? Looks like there are some threads there on Applescript, and if it works for PS 7, it might work for PE….?

Hi, Chuck, thanks. The unanswerable question is whether applescript, like actions, is disabled in PE. I could ask and see if anyone over there has tried in PE, though, although something tells me they also probably believe PE is the toy version of PS.
EDIT Just took a quick look and someone asked this question last November and hasn’t gotten an answer yet. 8^(
Since my luck is running out these days, and that I will have to wait longer, the treat is going to get bigger… A PowerMac G5 🙂 This way, I will be able to transfer my current data disk (once reformated) to my new Mac and have ample storage space. If I settle for something smaller, I fear I’m going to regret it along the way and end up still using my PC from time to time, which I want to minimize as much as possible.
One PC in the house suffering from the hickup is enough (Rick’s, not mine) 🙂
Question (short answer like Yes or No) : is iPhoto capable of reading EXIF information (like the caption tag) that I put with PSA ? I just discovered that the information could be partially recovered. Tagging (if it exists) in iPhoto is still a problem. Perhaps I will be able to open iPhoto’s data file with Applescript and retrieve the information from a flat file from PSA (PSA is an Access database).

I can’t wait untill he gets back home to tell him that… He’ll call tomorrow morning to order one!!
