A user has contacted me and was asking for a new comment-function in Tierprogramm.

Background:

Bjoern is using the Comment function in Tierprogramm to write specific strings into his images. This strings are later used in a photo-blog or similar. With the comment function it Tierprogramm 0.8 it was a not that simple inserting individual comments into “hundrets” of images as you had to define the comment each time in the Preferences first.

Solution:

Tierprogramm 0.8.1 has a new comment function which can be used for inserting individual comments into images (mass-editing). While processing the images you get a dialog where you can insert your new comment, press OK and done.

Besides that there was a small bug in the routine which checked for the Growl installation which is fixed now too. Thanks to Bjoern for testing & reporting. I hope you can enjoy Tierprogramm now a bit more

With the latest release of Tierprogramm (Version 0.8) i have included almost everything i planned at the beginning of this Applescript learning session.

Screenshot from public version 0.8:

My plan is to add a function which checks for updates, support for some other file-extensions (besides .jpg) and some other small improvments like….

A new comment function:

Based on a mail from a user i have already included a new function today (into my code which is not public yet) which offers another methods for inserting exif-comments.

While 0.8 and earlier offered only the option to define a comment in Tierprogram Preferences which was written into all files dropped to Tierprogramm the new comment function (i call it multicomments) acts completly different. Having the new function enabled you can define an individual comment for each image.

So you can drag ie. 10 images to Tierprogramm and while processing you’ll see a quick dialog box for each image with the option to define a custom comment.

Gonna try to include the other functions mentioned above in the future and rleease another version in the next weeks.

If you have any optional idea for Tierprogramm, feel free to contact me.

All project informations can be found here.

If you have a suggestion regarding Tierprogramm, feel free to write here or contact me via email. Thanks in advance.

I am still working on my small User-Interface for Exiftool on Mac OS X. guess i’ll be able to put a test version online in some days.

After having finished this app i should be able to write a small summary about my experiences with AppleScript.

Till now the UI is able to:

• Write a Comment into the EXIF-Data
• Write a new CreatorTool into the EXIF-Data
• Write a new Software into the EXIF-Data
• Delete all Photoshop informations

including Growl-Support.
