Aperture Assistant 1.0.61

Aperture Assistant is an automation helper for Apple's Aperture application. It allows you to easily set up complex tasks and workflows by putting together visual flowcharts.

This download is a fifteen day fully functional trial version. When the fifteen days are up, it will revert to demo mode and will keep popping up dialog boxes for every ten images you process. This means that you can still use it for small corrections without buying a registration key.

Some of the main features:

Export images using different presets depending on metadata/ratings etc.
Export to different folders depending on metadata.
Export echoing Aperture's internal organisational structure.
Open exported files in another application, without setting up a hot folder.
Export any combination of metadata to comma- or tab-delimited text files, one per output folder or one per Version.
Set metadata and Version Names from other metadata, for instance setting up more complex date naming.
Find and replace in metadata.
Find all the Albums that a Version appears in.
Make Burn Folders directly from the Masters, whether they are managed or referenced.
Create Keynote presentations with body and title text based on metadata.
Find and tag duplicate Masters.

Version 1.0.61 is a bugfix release for testing.

Bugfixes:

Metadata retrieved immediately after setting metadata would return the old value.
Action Node>Export Text>Per Output Folder>Fixed Name would add extra spaces to tab-delimited text.
Decision Nodes based on image rating were returning an error.
Metadata containing umlauts and other UTF8 characters was not being retrieved correctly.
Export presets containing UTF8 characters were not being retrieved properly and the images were not exporting.
Library names or paths containing UTF8 characters were not being found.
Referenced Masters could not be accessed if the file path contained UTF8 characters.
{CapDD} wasn't adding a leading zero to single figures, so it was returning '1' instead of '01'.

Misc. Changes:

Feature Change - demo mode now prompts every other image instead of every ten images.
Cosmetic Change - progress indicator is now centred if the workflow window changes size.
