A loose collection of smaller ‘projects’, some for fun others to learn something new. As friends started to use some of these smaller scripts - maybe you can even find a real program here - it made sense to publish some of them, why should it spend the rest of its digital life in some gray, dusted sector on my hard drive?

<h3>Adobe Lightroom</h3>
<h4>iPhotoExport</h4>
<p><img src="/images/lightroom.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://svn.suffix.be/public/lightroom/iPhotoExport.dmg" title="Download the iPhotoExport plugin from the public SVN repository">Download iPhotoExport v0.1</a></p>
<p>The Lightroom to iPhoto plugin exports the selected photos fom Adobe Lightroom to iPhoto and creates an album with the exported photos if needed.</p>
<h3>AppleScripts</h3>
<h4>NMEA2KML</h4>
<p><img src="/images/applescript.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://svn.suffix.be/public/applescript/NMEA2KML.scpt" title="Download the NEMA2KML AppleScript from the public SVN repository">Download NEMA2KML v0.3</a></p>
<p>This small AppleScript droplet converts a NMEA log file (a GPS track log for example) to a Google KML which you can open in Google Earth or Google Maps. NMEA contains both real coordinates and calculated coordinates, only the real coordinates are converted, the calculated ones are ignored. This script is a droplet so just download it and drop a NMEA log file on top of the script, it will ask for a target filename and convert the file.</p>
<h4>RepairiPhotoDates</h4>
<p><img src="/images/applescript.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://svn.suffix.be/public/applescript/RepairiPhotoDates.scpt" title="Download the RepairiPhotoDates AppleScript from the public SVN repository">Download RepairiPhotoDates v0.2</a></p>
<p>My friend has a digital camera which refuses to store the dates in the photo EXIF data. iPhoto does a pretty good job when I import her photos, it takes the file creation date when the EXIF date isn’t available. This isn’t enough, if you export the photos you will notice it still doesn’t have any EXIF dates so that’s what this script does. Start iPhoto, select the problematic photos and run the script. The script will read the ‘iPhoto date’ and writes it to the EXIF data. You will need the <a href="http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/" title="Phil Harvey’s ExifTool script">ExifTool</a> by Phil Harvey first, my RepairiPhotoDates script uses this to do the magic. Remember that iPhoto does not refresh the metadata of imported photos so you won’t see any differences as long as you don’t re-import the photos... maybe Apple will solve this one day.</p>
<h4>AlbumImporter</h4>
<p><img src="/images/applescript.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://svn.suffix.be/public/applescript/AlbumImporter.dmg" title="Download the AlbumImporter AppleScript from the public SVN repository">Download AlbumImporter v0.1</a></p>
<p>The AlbumImporter AppleScript droplet imports a folder with images to an iPhoto album with the same name. The folder is removed once this is done so make sure you have a copy of your files if you try this out (or look in your Trash). iPhoto should create events with the same name for every folder that is imported.</p>
