AppleScripts
The following AppleScripts are all bilingual scripts in French and English and were created by Daniel Robillard. All dialogs are displayed in French on French systems and in English on any others. They were tested with iView MediaPro 2.6.2 under Mac OS 10.3.7 and AppleScript 1.9.3. You can modify them at your convenience.
The script "User Language" (4K sit file) must be located in the folder "Plug-ins" and not in the folder "Scripts" as this is used to detect the language of the current system. Without it the script dialogs will all appear in English.
All of the scripts are available for download in one convenient archive (requires the free Stuffit Expander).

Shows a list of the first level folders contained in the "Plug–Ins" folder and allows to choose those to open.

Send to Mail
Create a new message in Apple's Mail application and attach the selected files.
The pictures are converted to a user selected size as well as allowing for other conversion options. You can also choose to send the original files. The script is saved as application and can therefore be used as a helper to MediaPro.

Change Favorites
This script allows you to switch between a set of favorites rather than simply using a single file. When managing photographs covering very different fields (for example animal, architecture, etc.) it can be useful to split these into different sets like this.

Auto Flash
iView MediaPro allows the automatic loading and cataloging of images from a digital camera or flash card reader. This function in fact is asumed by "Image Capture" which is a part of Mac OS X. Unfortunately this has it's disadvantages;
- Resources are added to the files with no option to avoid it. These resources are a part of the Mac OS file system and create problems when exchanges files with other platforms.
- An icon is associated to each file to give a visual indicator of the image on the descktop. This icon is not integrated into the file.
- The operation is slow.
The purpose of this script is to overcome these disadvantages.
Saved as a script application it can be launched after connection of a camera or flash card. Set the preferences of "Images Capture" to launch this application when the camera connected.

The first line is the identifier of the columns and must contain the names of the annotation fields (IPTC). Each other line begin with the file name of an item followed by the respective values of the fields. The separator is Tab.
- An empty value preserves the existing annotation.
- A value "-" erases existing annotation.
- For the fields in list (Keywords, Categories, People) the separator is "," (comma).
- The character "¬" (option-L) is replaced by "return" in the Caption field.

Conversion Caption CR
This script complements the "Annotations < - data base" script (see above) and allows you to convert "returns" to the character "¬" before export. The script also supports running the procedure in reverse.

Conversion Captions Mac-Win
Mac OS and Windows use different codes for some characters of the extended Latin alphabet. Thus, a caption written on Windows containing the character "é" it render "È" when reading the catalog on a Mac.
This script makes a code conversion in the two directions.
It uses the free scripting addition Satimage osax.
After download and expand could the file "Satimage.osax" into the folder:
~User/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Satimage.osax
Use this script before sending a catalog to a user under Windows. After sending use again to restore Mac coding.

| Files |
Rename with Date
Rename original files of the selected items with the first valid value taken in order from one of the fields Capture date, Event Date, Creation Date, Modification Date or Catalogued Date.
Several formats are proposed and the old name is saved in IPTC field Product.
For example: DSCN1546.JPG becomes
2002-10-02 12h01 53.JPG
In the event of two file names clashing the script will append a number to the end of the file name.
For example:
2004-11-25-16-09-34.JPG
2004-11-25-16-09-34#1.JPG
2004-11-25-16-09-34#2.JPGDownload sit archive (16K) |

The old name is saved in the IPTC field Product.

| Select |
Intersection
When several fields are selected in the Organise pannel the displaying of the items responds to a logic "OR" which gives the union of the items linked to the various fields.
It is possible to obtain the intersection by the find function using the operator "AND".
However, this command is not very practical because it does not propose the exact expressions used in the fields.
This script gives the choice among Keywords, Categories or People.
It extracts the values from the choosed group of fields for all visibles items and proposes a list for choosing the terms.
When a field is linked to more than one item the number of occurences is showed at the end of the value.
Example:
With the People group.
While selecting in the list "Isabelle" and "Denis" only photographs which these two people are present are selected.

This script help to locate the multiple entries.
When a file has several entries they are selected, the oldest entry in catalog is marked with label 1 (red) and the others marked with label 3 (blue).
